Holy heck. We had your prototypical April barnburner in Portland last night ... (p)re-enacted in the first week of November. You may think this clip ends after the first minute with Brandon Roy 's killer jumper to put the Blazers up two with 1.9 seconds left in overtime. But Yao Ming has ...

Day 10 of 170: Where Brandon Roy Happens
givemetherock.com 11/7/2008 — Okay, so the headline is kind of misleading since Brandon Roy was actually 30th out of 39 players last night.

As the Blazers and Rockets wound down last night, I had to keep reminding myself that we’re early in the season. Otherwise, why would Brandon Roy have fouled Yao Ming with less than a second to go. Similarly, why would the Rockets have left Brandon Roy open with 0.8 on the ...

Now that is how you finish an NBA game: two clutch shots by Brandon Roy sandwiching a huge turnaround jump shot from Yao Ming. In fact, Roy was involved in all three of these plays as he hit the first clutch shot but left enough time on the clock for Houston to get a play off — the Yao ...

Brandon Roy, Dime #24
There's no question Brandon Roy got off that game-winning shot at the OT buzzer in time to beat the Rockets. HOWEVER, did anyone else get the impression that the clock didn't start as soon as he caught the ball? Can you catch, pivot, elevate and shoot with a full ...

FanHouse
