Early on, it's important to notice the aggressiveness of second year shooting guard Brandon Roy.
Normally, when a player first returns from an injury, there's a certain hesitation in their step. In some ways, Trail Blazer fans saw that in the first game against the Kings, but tonight, there's really nothing missing from his game.

He's had two quick rebounds, 1 assist and a couple nice drives to the hoop, which has really caught the Sonics off guard. Maybe they didn't get the memo that the former Rookie of the Year is, well, pretty good.

It's also important to point out that Roy is running the floor really well. Jack seems to lead the initial fastbreak, and Roy is either starting the possession with an outlet pass or he's acting as the safety valve in Portland's halfcourt offense.

Can't complain early, the Trail Blazers are up 18 - 10 and we've already drawn 5 team fouls out of the Sonics with 4:53 left in the first quarter...
