Brandon's interview with Nick Friedell of Yahoo Sports

Ball Don’t Lie: Was last Thursday night’s game the craziest of your career?

Brandon Roy: Oh yeah. (Smiles) Yeah, that was the craziest game I’ve ever been a part of. Here I thought I won a game [after the shot that went in with 1.9 seconds left], and I foul [Yao, and I thought I] lost the game, came back [hit the shot at the buzzer] and ended up winning the game. Yeah, that was the most emotional game I’ve ever been a part of. Not by far, I’ve been through a couple [emotional] college games but that was definitely my most emotional game as a pro … and my first game winner.

BDL: How does it feel to make your first…

Roy rolls on as defensive pressure increases

Three games into the Trail Blazers season, Brandon Roy can list the number of bad passes he has made.

“There have been about four total this year already,” Roy said. “And every time it’s like I know right away.”

Roy in each instance has let out a disgusted scream, which at times has been audible throughout the lower bowl. Usually one of the smartest and poised players on the Blazers, Roy has probably had more bonehead plays in the first three games than he did in all of the second half of last season.

“I’d say that’s a true statement,” Roy said. “I don’t think I’ve made that many (bad passes) in a long time. But now I know it, it’s in my…
