Starting 5 NOT set for opening night

The money quote:
"McMillan did not say this would be the starting lineup for the Houston game, but like he has since training camp opened, he emphasized on Thursday that he wants balance offensively and defensively on both is first and second units."

Still sounds likely, but the door isn't shut yet for Greg.

Quick just said he thinks Miller and Oden will both start.

The team is trying to figure out their rythym and McMillan keeps changing things.

Let the guys play. I think that picking a lineup and sticking with it (even if it is not the best one) is better than waffling back and forth.

I'm certain it's set.

Oh it’s set. Nate may not have said anything yet, but I’ll help you out here.

Miller, Roy, Batum, Aldridge, Oden.

There ya go. I’m 98% certain that will be the starting lineup.

Regarding Hedo Türkoğlu:

Look at the bright side, Blazers fans -- you dodged a bullet. He peaked statistically two years ago. He's allegedly 30 but could be closer to 32 or 33 for all we know. (Do you trust Turkish birth certificates? And isn't it weird that he played four years of pro ball in Turkey in the 1990s?)

Should be, anyway.

Team R.A.M.B.O.

Sounds like a good line-up to me. That could change though if Webster plays as well as some Blazer people have predicted, but Team R.A.W.B.O. doesn’t sound as good.
