At the end of last season, Brandon Roy was adamant that he would set aside a significant amount of time in the offseason to rest. After playing 2,903 regular season minutes during the 2008-09 season and an extra 238 physically-punishing playoff minutes in six games against the Houston Rockets, Roy was in need of some down time.
So he headed back to Seattle to relax, and hang out with his family, and lounge poolside and relax some more. Sometimes he road the bike and every now and then he lifted some weights, but when it came to basketball, Roy went cold turkey. Didn't shoot. Didn't play pick up games. Didn't camp out at the Trail Blazers practice facility. And that was fine.
