Too bad BATum couldn't be here
Revenge is sweet
Miller & Blake to start...
according to Brian Smith on twitter…
‘#Blazers expected to start Miller, Blake, Roy, Oden, Aldridge.’
‘Bayless expected to be first point guard off #Blazers’ bench’
I hope this is a joke

I don't get it.
If you are starting Roy at SF, why not put Rudy at SG instead of Blake? I honestly don’t get it at all.
How did you guys win that?

From his blog, and a post a couple of days ago...
‘Personally, I feel very good physically, and my back is not causing problems.’
http://rudy5.net/blog/?lang=en
Taking him at his word, it seems that Nate just prefers Blake at SG.
I don't either
If you’re playing Blake with Miller and Roy he’s going to be off the ball and just out there to shoot 3s, so why not play Rudy who has more size and moves well without the ball. I don’t want to see Blake and Miller on the court at the same time.

Should be

If you need to trade a player to get a coach to stop playing him
Then the problem is no longer the player.
Needs to but won't
If Blake has to start all year in Nate’s mind, we have issues.

Last year, with Sergio Rodrigez, intelligent fans had a right to campaign for Bayless getting significant playtime. This year it comes off as foolish right? Is there any scenario in which McMillian could consider giving Bayless 20 minutes a game?

Trade for Luis Amundson!!Do it KP!!
Nate has lost it for sure.
weren’t we the depest team in the league with too much talent in each position. How then is our starting lineup featuring 2 true point guards?
idk why its so hard for him to start miller
Miller can distribute, and marty can hit 3s in the corner just like blake, except actually play some defense
Trade for Luis Amundson!!Do it KP!!
Critique Websters defense for me...
How much worse of a defender is he than Batum?

Can't we just start all of our point guards?
Maybe thats the answer
A lineup consisting of 5 pointguards would lack the paint presence to do any real damage. You need at least one body who can bang for rebounds.

"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
Please vote in my multiple choice question...
What has been the most dissapointing aspect of the season so far?
A) Batums injury leaves us sorely lacking a quality defender which hurts the team on the whole.
B) Andre Miller seems to be more of a wrench in the gear than anything.
C) It’s way too early to think about this. This team is better than last year and 5 games is too small a sample size.
D) Oden still stinks and can’t stay on the court.
E) Roy isn’t his usual MVP self.
F) Rudy Fernandez has played significantly worse than what he’s capable of.

think positive
maybe it will work… at least San Antonio played last night and lost to a Jazz team that isn;t that impressive
I wish people would stop saying "don't worry about it" as if I'm losing sleep over it
all the more reason to start our best starting lineup
and try to build a huge lead against a tired team whose best player has bad knees.
Blazers make the Fans, Fans don't make the Blazers--broyposse
I certainly don't agree with what Nate is doing
But I want to stay positive… after all its a 48 minute game and Nate is going to have to make changes… maybe something good will come out of it
I wish people would stop saying "don't worry about it" as if I'm losing sleep over it
there will be changes.
and I’ve been trying to stay positive too. But I think it’s been pretty clear over 5 games that the Miller-Blake-Roy combo does. not. work. at all. of all the lineups they’ve used, that 3 guard combo just isn’t effective. so it’s hard to be positive when you see the head coach decide to start what is obviously a bad combination. the only good that can come of it is if they really stink and Nate realizes to never play them together again.
Blazers make the Fans, Fans don't make the Blazers--broyposse
well maybe they can work out the kinks
it has only been 5 games after all… but I hear you DTL. If the 3 guard combo hasn’t worked why is Nate pushing it this way? Hard to fathom. All I hear is gears grinding
I wish people would stop saying "don't worry about it" as if I'm losing sleep over it
it's just odd to me
that the only major changes on this team are adding Miller (who we don’t know) and adding Webster after injury (a player we do know). the only difficult part should be finding minutes. the beginning of the season should be finding out if Miller and Roy can work together and if Miller can be trusted (I think he could) to have total control over the offense. and a lot of that is Miller learning Roy. but when all the players on the team are, pretty much, known quantities, how hard should it be to know what lineups will and won’t work? the only feasible 3 guard lineup includes Rudy, and that’s pretty obvious.
Blazers make the Fans, Fans don't make the Blazers--broyposse

might just yell out “WHAT!???” when they introduce the starters though.

If I were Martell I'd be livid
That guy has played very good basketball, and there are three ways to read this:
1. Nate is completely in the tank for Blake, regardless of performance (my view)
2. KP bought a high priced toy this off-season and it needs to start regardless of performance
3. Brandon Roy isn’t just the 2 guard, he’s also the coach and GM, and he’s Jordanesque in the latter category if this is the lineup he wants
This could be an absolute disaster. I almost hope it is, because we’ve all seen the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of the Miller-Blake backcourt. Nate needs to choose one. My view is it should be Miller, but benching Martell to stroke the egos of guys who whine at the expense of one who won’t is garbage. Sulk away Marty Blazer, maybe Nate will run a flipping play for you for a change!

Agree
That’s part of what makes me so mad about this decision. Martell is one of the few players who has produced to and above expectations this year, not to mention his attitude is great. Somebody has a sig quote from Martell that tells you everything you need to know about #23: “We have two great units on this team, and I’m excited about being part of either one”. He’ll handle this like a soldier, even though he has every reason to throw a fit.
Ben, remember the “If a Blazer were a Wire character, who would they be?” post? Martell Webster just answered Wee Bey in the affirmative. Soldiers always get done wrong, they’re expendable like that.

The results of my scientific poll lead me to believe this problem is entirely fixable...
Coaching and Miller seem to be the problems. Coaches know more about the game and their team than your typical fans. Worst case scenario Blake plays 38 minutes a night like last year and we have our 54 win team back.
Something makes me think losing Batum is more significant than people realize.

I'm trying to rationalise this but my brain just can't do it.
We’re playing one of the least effective combos we have, we’ve snubbed our hardest working player for said line-up, we failed to give our second/third best guard a chance in the starting line-up, we’re babying someone who really doesn’t need to be and we’re making things worse for Greg Oden.
Awesome.

Webster is doing exactly what we need in a wing to play with Roy. I’d be ok with starting Miller over Blake, but not both at the same time. Ugh. I don’t like this at all. Since we’re going to have them on court together a lot, can we at least not take our centers out if they’re doing well like against the Hawks?

First point guard to score and get an assist gets to start from now on

Oden's gonna get 2 fouls in no time
if BOTH Miller and Blake start.
Seriously, someone has to investigate if “Blakey” has some incriminating photos of Nate to have this kind of pull.
It's a nationally televised game
so David Stern has made a point to the refs to foul Oden out as quickly as possible… If Oden gets 12 minutes tonight I will be shocked.

I am starting to think that Nate is sending a message to somebody...
There is no way he thinks this lineup could be our starters all season, so why even try?
My guess is that he has gotten a lot of pressure from within to start Miller, so he is throwing a tempertantrum about it. “See? I started Miller, NOW STAY OUT OF MY BUISNESS!”…
The message is to us.
That would be real mature…yet believable
I hope someone will have a good link tonight since the NBA sees fit
