Jaynes: Brandon Roy Won't Have It Easy In Game 5

Dwight JaynesofCSNNW.com writesthat the Portland Trail Blazers shouldn't be too quick to turn the entire offensive show over to guard Brandon Roy on the heels of his Game 3 and Game 4 heroics... ----------------------- Only a tremendous -- and admittedly unlikely -- one-man show by Brandon Roy ruined the day for the Mavericks. Can THAT happen again? Don't know. Not sure. But if I were coaching the Trail Blazers I'd be real sure I didn't even think about loading up on a bunch of Brandon Roy isolations for tonight. We've seen that in the playoffs before and it wasn't sustainable, even with Roy at his all-star best. That's what makes tonight's game so intriguing. I think Roy may have gotten enough confidence back to play well for the rest of the playoffs. But I'm also sure he's done enough now that Dallas will game-plan for him, which obviously, in spite of what they say, they had not been doing. They will double-team him, pressure his ballhandling and get physical with him. He won't have it easy. ----------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter
