(Click the photo to enlarge)52, as in Brandon Roy dropped fifty-two points in a 124-119 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Roy was 14-of-27 from the floor and 19-of-21 at the line. He bested his career high of 38 and ended up two short of the franchise record of 54 set by Damon Stoudamire. Roy has been lighting the scoreboard up averaging 36.4 points in his last five games, and was showered with chants of MVP from the Portland crowd. His offensive assault on the Suns included a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:01 left that helped the Blazers go on a seven-point run to end and win the game.
If he can manage to play at this high of a level, the Blazers will have to be looked at as a contender in the west and those chants of MVP will have to be taken seriously.
