Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Detroit Pistons. The big news around these parts is the drama surrounding Brandon Roy's sharp decline as of late. Following an offseason where he demanded the ball more, Roy then requested less minutes. More ball, less minutes? It's the double rainbow of NBA superstar requests. What does it all mean, man?
It probably means that the Blazers' franchise player is hurting. The numbers point to an uncharacteristic shift in Roy's game—across the board—and even Dr. Ron Artest (PhD in Crazyology from the esteemed Queensbridge Projects University) thinks Roy is hiding an injury. But to his credit, Roy has held it together so far this season. And the playoffs are almost here, right?

Oh crap. 74 more games left? It's gonna be a long season.
