My brother has a saying. "Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant." Recently, the Portland Trailblazers' fans have felt like every day they're the dog. Today is one of the few days they take on hydrant-like qualities, and even then, it's only a slight sluggishness and a bloated water feeling.Brandon Roy is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery tomorrow to repair a torn meniscus that was revealed in an MRI on Tuesday. The Portland Tribune is reporting he'll miss time right up until training camp but be back when camp starts. BlazersEdge is getting everyone together to climb off the ledge.
Given all the good things that have happened to the Blazers lately, from getting Rudy Fernandez stateside to Greg Oden's impressive practices coming off of injury, something bad was bound to pop up. If this is the worst thing that happens to them until the season starts, the fanbase is still blessed in the Gods' eyes. If you're not sure of that, ask your local Clippers fan. You should be able to find them next to you on the ledge.
That's assuming of course, the knee heals fine. Best wishes to Brandon in his recovery.
