It’s Brandon Roy’s birthday today, celebrated joyously by the folks over at OregonLive.com’s Blazer Blog. They’ve got this awesome video of Brandon devastating the Lakers.
So the Blazers return one of the league’s most promising teams. They also add Jerryd Bayless, who was MVP of the summer league. And Rudy Fernandez, who was the best player in Europe last season.
Oh, and the Sky Father himself.
Kevin Pritchard, when not pritchslapping the rest of the NBA, keeps reminding Blazer fans this crazy experiment in bringing in good quality character guys and turning them into champions will take a while.
But looking at this roster, if these guys even live up to half of what they can do this year, I think this team could win an NBA Championship. Like, now.
Alright, I’ll get my head out of the clouds.

This is where I would usually complain that the Celtics could have had Brandon Roy, but then I remember that we beat L.A. and it’s all good.

BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.! BEAT L.A.!
Sorry, that’s a Pavlovian reflex.

I just want to say that I really appreciate Jordan putting all of this gloating in a semi-permanent form so that it can be used to haunt him later if things don’t pan out.

@Dan Gibson: You mean, like it hasn’t with the Suns?

i declare it a rule that jordan and dan should get together to watch every Blazers-Suns game next season, with a humiliating bet or conciliatory blog post on the line for each contest.
