Brandon Roy:

25 pts
11 ast.
6 rebs
0 turnovers

He was a calming influence and controlled the game with his decision making. Jack and Outlaw were huge down the stretch and were huge reasons why we won, but the game ball goes to Brandon Roy.

The 0 TO's blew me away. Roy was a beast tonight.

Jack deserves mention. He practically carried the team in the overtimes offensively.

I did mention Jack. He was great in OT. However, IMO, he was horrible for most of regulation. His handles are too rigid and I fear he's about to turn the ball over each time he brings the ball up the floor. But he did play great down the stretch.

Jack did great, but what was not great is
that 90% of the 2nd overtime the ball did
not touch Roys hands. Thats not smart.. .

Even tho we won, it was a mistake.

Jack did great tho & so did Roy overall.

"I fell on my tailbone in regulation and I really couldn't move," Roy said. "I told Coach I'll continue to be a decoy. ... I was just trying to gut it out for the team. We'd come too far to let this one slip."

That may have been why it didn't touch Roy's hands much..

you are giving Outlaw way too much love. the only reason Chicago stayed in that game was his lack of freaking rebounding down the stretch. big ben wallace completely dominated his ass. i'm so sick of hearing that he is "mr. 4th quarter" from these ridiculous announcers. B-ROY is "mr. 4th" and no one else on this team.

although LA was clutch tonight! gotta give him some huge props as well.

I hope the effects of that fall don't linger for long... :-?

Hopefully everyone gives him a lot of grief when he has to sit on a donut for the next few days. We wouldn't want him getting a big head or anything

Youre crazy. I can think of at least 5 or 6 games recently where we would have lost if not for clutch plays by Outlaw in the 4th.

Well, considering that Travis is a converted SF to PF and Ben Wallace is a true center, I would hope Wallace gets more rebounds than Outlaw to at least earn PART of his huge contract playing no offense. Wallace is paid for defense and rebounding and that's what he does.
