A little early on That Guy Of The Week and I'm also going against multiple suggestions of making it Lenny Dykstra. But someone pissed in my Cheerios this morning. Brandon Roy.
'Always thought I would be treated better,'
This is Roy's reaction to his "limited role" with the Blazers after last nights game two loss to the Mavericks. Here's the link to the article by Jason Quick of The Oregonian.

Really Brandon? Really? How is that max contract working out for ya? How about the legions of Portland fans who actually care about the Blazers who do not have jobs (a lot of them in Oregon these days) who just want to see the team win? And you pull out the ego card because you don't like your roll? How about playing within yourself and seeing what you can do to make the team better?
One local reporter blogged this morning that this latest development will divide the team and fans. Well, I agree that it might divide the team (although I don't think anyone on the Blazers likes playing with Roy anymore) but I don't know any fans who think that Roy is being misused (actually, the better half of this blog thinks he plays too much). And for those out there who agree with Roy, consider yourself That Fan Of The Week.
The Blazer management worked very hard getting rid of poor characters which has lead to success and a fan base feeling proud about its team again. Now it's time for management to understand that poor character is not limited to hanging out at strip clubs while on bereavement leave.

Good call. I would like to nominate jason richardson as that guy of the year. Look up the reason steve nash applied for divorce (on the day his wife gave birth!). Priceless.
What a homie. I was tired of Roy by the end of year 2.
Holy crap, could you imagine Steve Nash's reaction after that final push in the delivery room?
The Blazers are so OVER! Go Timbers!
