"Even when we make runs, it doesn't feel like we're fully comfortable with how things are going. I don't know, I think some guys may feel like they're in and out of the game and I'm noticing it doesn't feel like they're totally comfortable." - Brandon Roy

Nate needs to define the roles, pick a rotation and stick with it.
Also…. As much as everyone (myself included) wants Blake to start…. If you think hes bad with the first unit…see him with the second unit.
At least Miller can score.. If you put Blake with Rudy, Joel, Travis, and whoever, you have two or three players that can score. With the starting five, its basically four players who can score, and Blake if he’s open.
Of course… with Miller in the first group…and Nate letting him take command a little bit, maybe the 2nd unit would hit the floor with a 20pt buffer.
My favorite unit thus far is Dre, Rudy, Martell, Lamarcus, Greg.
We should just trade half the team for CP3. ( yeah yeah I know its a pipedream) but really… You get rid of the playing time issues…and I bet Miller would be willing to play second fiddle to Paul…

Give Rudy and Bayless a try together in the second unit
Rudy can handle the bulk of the playmaking duties and Bayless can defend the point. They have shown some good defensive energy together, and both guys can push tempo.

Too much subbing. Needs to just let the starters play and slowley sub in the bench. Doesn't help
Oden and Pryzbilla can’t touch anyone with out getting called for a foul. Players have no rhythm constantly being brought in and out.
