Brandon Roy crying about being bench. No really crying

This dude actually crying in the locker room about being bench after 2 mins??

*All told, the three-time All-Star played a scoreless 7:59, missed his only
shot from the field, missed both of his free throws, and made one
turnover. “There was a point in the first half, and I was thinking 'You better not cry,'''
Roy said. “I mean, serious. I mean, there was a moment where I felt really
sorry for myself. Then I was like, nah, you can't be sorry for yourself.

I'm a grown man, but there was a moment there that I felt sorry for myself. Especially when I think I can still help.'' I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little hurt, or disappointed,'' Roy said. “But the biggest thing is to keep moving, to try and keep my spirits up. But it's tough man. I just …. I just always thought I would be treated
better. That was a little disappointing for me.''

“I come in the last sub of the first quarter … then OK, I'm in there for
(2:36), then I play, then it's the end of the quarter,'' Roy said. “Then I
start the second and Bam! I'm right back on the bench again. I mean, I don't
know what I could havedone! ThenI sit, and he puts Patty and Rudy in before me. I know physically I have to play, but mentally, how do I just go …'' Roy acts like he is being
put in the game, and feigns a skipping motion. “'It's OK! I'm going to play' and be all giddy?'''

Roy said he and McMillan had not spoken, and that he didn't plan on
approaching McMillan on the team's long flight home. “I think my nature I've
never been one to confront. Never been the one to create controversy,'' Roy
said. “I think coach is comfortable with his guys and it's hard for him to
get me back in there. If that's what he is comfortable with, then I'm going
to try and support the team. And if he can get us past (the first round),
then he can. I just always thought I would be treated a little better, but …
it is what it is. I'll be all right. I'll go home see my kids, and be
happy.''


Then a teammate had strong words for Roy after the game and hearing about his comments


One teammate did not want to be identified was upset with Roy and had strong
words for his former General. "Are you kidding me? We are trying to beat
Dallas and this guy is sitting at his locker crying as if we lost game 7 of the
finals. This is bigger than Roy hurt feelings and pride. He needs to suck it
up and man up. If he can't do that he needs to retire."


Come on andre we know that's u.
 
Roy is my man but he needs to stfu. Its not all about him. His knees are gone and he needs to try and contribute in any way he can since his contract cripples the team.

Co sign if his new role is that horrible let portland buy out your contract for half and find a team that is willing to start u.

Brandon Roy had a problem with miller all last year and wanted dude to go to the bench or get traded. You better believe now that roy is thhe odd man out Miller wants payback
 
Might be time for Roy to hang em up. Damn shame his knees failed him..

He is acting like a real bitch now. He feels portland owe him something?? What?? He didn't help win them a championship or anything.

Its funny he was saying miller needed to go to the bench because it was best for the team last year but now when its his turn he is acting like a bitch.

He is crying now managment is having players meet them to talk bout Roy.

Payback is a bitch huh
 
Don't think he's being a bitch. I think he sees the end of his career. His mind is trying but his body is unwilling. That's a f'd up feeling for any player.
 
I feel bad for Roy. He was the man and now he is a shell of himself. This will be a humbling experience for him.
 
Putting in Pat Mills before him was the ultimate slap in the face...when POR beat us a couple weeks ago, Roy went off. Its like NM not even giving him a chance...he kills us & not getting a chance.
 
For ya'll to talk about BR like that clearly you've never been "THE MAN" before

Its about "THE TEAM" first
Your team down 2-0 and you are supposed to be the leader of men and you are boo hooing because of your minutes? How about trying to rally your team and give pointers to the guy taking your place. I'm sure the coach would see that and have more sympathy for you than you crying in the corner.

This is a bitter quote from someone who obviously has a personal grudge. This isnt a situation where a guy is just selfishly bitching about minutes. Dude is basically attempting to accept the end of his career as he knew it while trying to learn how to transition into a role player. He went from arguably a top 10 player to a bench rider nearly overnight, and due to no fault of his own. That has to be hard.

Andre Miller
 
Andre Miller

Shit can u blame andre. Roy tried to get dude traded and bench since he has been in portland. Now he sees he is more valuable than roy at the moment.

Seriously the shoe is on the other foot now.

Everything is good when u on top but the same dude he tried to get rid of and went to managment about is doing it back to him. I can't be mad at andre for that.

As for roy this is a team game. You are not the same player. Kidd 38 year old ass was going past. Game 1. You are saying urself u are struggling with this new role.

Okay cool. This is not training camp or the regular season where you have time to figure out what works for u. This is the playoffs win or go home. You don't know how to execute as a bench player I will put someone that will. This is bigger than you pride and hurt feelings. They are trying to win a series

Get over ur self
 
miller has always thought of himself as bigger than the team, in philly he was the same way....he has a bad attitude and has little respect for anyone and thinks he's a star.

Roy made portland special and now he's hurt thru no fault of his own. should he have been cryin? nope but the guy has a right to shed tears b/c his team has pretty much told him to kick rocks.

when roy was healthy miller shoulda been traded, he's a cancer a quiet one but still a cancer. if roy had remained healthy miller would be bitching about his shots and mins...

When you're the man the team needed u to close these games, help out on offense and defense. You're the reason the team is a threat in that conference. Now imagine all that gets stripped from you. Your mind says yes but your body won't let you. No matter how much its about the team that shit fucks with you, and he's speaking on wanting to help no matter the cost. Used to be a injured guy who still wanted to go gets praised, now he gets the opposite for voicing it. He deserves better. And whoever made that comment is a bitch

Portland would have traded Miller the problem they want LA to sign off on the trade too. I remember last year they would had offer the Nets Miller and someone else for Devin

LA wasn't going for it. He and Miller are tight. Notice Miller was upset LA didn't make the all star team. In fact yesterday portland writers have said why hasn't LA who is now the leader and francise player spoken up for Roy or went to bat for him.


Seems strange but seems like LA was pissed that Portland didn't offer him the same contract as Roy and even entertain trades for him earlier this year before he went on a rampage. LA has a "now u love me" attitude towards them
 
We will take Roy tho.
And he should be happy they didn't pick durant.

If they did :itsawrap: he woulda been on the eastcoast so fast
 
The bulls owner has problem paying money to star players. He is going to pay a role player who knees are done 80 million????

When u pay Ben Wallace u can Pay anybody.

And deng ain't going no where.

Hell we had to let ben Gordon walk

And knees? How bad are his knees really? Coz STAT got 100 mill
 
man niggaz is talkin about roy and his injuries, but most importantly; no 1 is putting any blame on the portland training staff them niggaz is horrible they shit i wouldnt let them get close to me dnt want no advice or anything from them career killers...look at Roy, Oden, and Bowie...im surprised camby is still playing healthy with that training staff
 
Don't think he's being a bitch. I think he sees the end of his career. His mind is trying but his body is unwilling. That's a f'd up feeling for any player.

I agree

It's not like he's 35

He was just at his peak, and now he's at the bottom.

I'm sure Grant Hill and TMac have felt like this, they just haven't been so candid.

Roy problems have been with him since college. Twolves reason for trading him their medical staff did not trust his knees.

Training staff can't get the blame for them how come LA and andre miller 45 year old ass (I know he is in mid 30s) have been healthy

Complex I get that. Don't u agree during playoffs and being down 2 games the last thing u need is another distraction

That's why I think he's probably being too candid, but I think that's because we as the public can't handle it. We want generic answers and not realness.

I can't speak on his situation, because I haven't been on that side. I think he's looking at it like his career is done, not what's best for the team. Can you really enjoy your teams success when you aren't helping them? At the end of the day he has to look out for himself. I can't say that I blame him.

Plus you put a microphone or reporter in front of someone right after it happens, to get their raw emotions.

I'm sure there are days where Michael Redd and Yao Ming have been depressed and said fuck this shit or probably cried.

yea but him saying this isn't looking out for himself
it gives negative energy out there and gm's love to use any excuse not to sign someone they'll look back and say well you were in the playoffs and weren't a team player you focused on you so why should we sign you?
its a fucked up situation for him to be in he just needs to really fall back and be mute right now for his own sake

Okay I get that but its not like he is David West (gets injured the same year he is up for a new contract). His extension just kicked in. No matter what Portland owes him 80 million.

The next five years 80 million.

Now portland can try to piss him off and make him hate his situation so much he would take a buy out. I'm not saying its not real but its not needed right now.

Other bench players are looking at Roy funny now. Batum was starting and Wallace comes and back to the bench he goes. He didn't complain. This is going to lead to some internal problems.
 
We will take Roy tho.

Can someone tell dude that Roy is a 2 guard!!! Roy would have been under contract by the time Durant's turn came. Why the fuck would the 2nd best SG in the West be traded? Makes no sense. I'm tired of niggas coming with that Durant shit. Rip City has been to the playoffs more times str8 than Durant and that's with no Oden or a healthy Roy. Durant hasn't done shit in the post-season and I got Denver winning this year.


I'm not mad at all at Roy, it's gotta be rough being him. He's the face of the franchise type- dude so he gets the interview's and he's speaking his mind. Regardless of his current state, he deserves more respect than he's getting right now....from NATE, Andre and the team. I like what Andre has done for the team, but he's been a bitch since day one and now he's just making shit worse. Dude gets 7 mins max to make something happen and I'd rather him be out there than Patty.

Roy was the #1 option and everything ran thru him. When Miller got there, shit changed with him handling the rock more and now we're less versatile with no clear closer. I woulda asked that Miller be traded too.

We'll be alright tho...we split with Dallas this year with both teams winning 2 games on their home floor. No place like home.
 
There sure is a lack of empathy on this board.
I can understand why he would be upset, and who am I to tell a man how to express his sorrow. Probably part of the problem in our communities is that the only feelings men are allowed to express are happiness and anger.
