Pardon the repost, but... I think I've figured it out!
Nate, you sly dog… I think I just figured out the wisdom of this starting lineup…
Nate wants to run. He just said so on the pre-game show.
He had to get Dre in there.
But he ALSO wants to see what Bayless can do…
How to do that?
More Blake out the of PG slot rotation… quickly sub in Martell for him, and then Bayless, not Blake becomes the second guard…
Brilliant…
Nate McMillan must be stopped.
SOmeone call the borg.
Yeah, Kevin Calabro FTW!
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.

if this lineup works tonight, Nate will stick with it. I hope we get boatraced in the first and step it up from there

This is freakin' crazy.
Yeah, let’s go ahead and start our worst lineup from the last game.
"The best team in the county right now wears green and goes quack, quack." -Chris Dufresne, LA Times

POP: FIRST TIME OUT AT THE 46 SECOND MARK.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
He's the anti-Phil Jackson
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Blazers with another inept 3-on-1 break...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Wow is San Antonio all out of sorts
I’m not sure they would score if they were the only team on the court.
Nothing going to LMA, like the Blazers usually start.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal

Nate just can't do it can he.
Why oh why are we starting Miler/Blake? It just amazes me. Good thing we’re looking good so far.
LMA got PAID!!!!
I think the reason it works is because it's so unexpected.
Martell has been one of our best players. He wouldn’t be benched. They heard the report about Miller starting and assumed he’d replace Blake. They’re just absolutely discombobulated.

I think Oden has found his ideal defender — Timmay is slower than he is!
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Finally Nate is making the other coach make the decisions.
I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Oden foul 1 at the 2:10 mark...

Oden with another super-slo-mo move. Duncan fouls him.

Oden hits a jumper. Good on ya, mate.

Where's the foul? says LMA
I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Tony Parker should score 40 tonight.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Oden second foul at the 8:03 mark. Bye bye.

There is no way college refs are worse than NBA refs. I've been saying this for years.

DOes anyone else think Oden and/or nate need to come out one of these days and publicly criticize the officials
on what bs half of these calls are, and how every other star, or even semi star player in the league doesnt get these? At this point if i were them i wouldnt give a crap about a $25000 fine. seriously, anything to turn the heads of the league and refs as to how bad of a job their doing. sorry that was long.

first 6 minutes
our player and ball movement was MUCH improved. Roy was looking great – and he was playing off the ball! See brandon. I still think it should have been Martell (or at least Rudy), instead of Blake, but Miller starting was a huge plus.
then LMA decided he’s afraid to take it at Matt Bonner, and we got a little standstill/jumpshot happy.
How did you guys win that?

Actually, it seems to play to each player's strengths.

thought Nate’s new line-up wouldn’t work
I wish people would stop saying "don't worry about it" as if I'm losing sleep over it
Nates second unit line-up worked ;)
I’d still rather replace Blake with Batum in that first unit for defense.
He runs more, he can shoot the three and he is a defensive presence. I’d do it in a second.

I dont care if we play bayless as a PG
he needs to be in there to attack…like Jamal Crawford on the Hawks or Bobby Jackson used to do…thats how he needs to play. Hes too solid of a scorer to leave on the bench
I love how they use him with Rudy as the other ballhandler
Rudy has underrated playmaking ability, and he’s starting to do that little jumper off the dribble too. It takes a lot of pressure off of Bayless and lets him get real NBA minutes without putting pressure on him to run the offense.
Things happen for a reason they say, but I say there's a reason things happen.
I hope this doesn’t encourage Nate. Webster in that starting lineup would be killer.

The post game is difficult. A man with good hands and feet like Aldridge has a hard time. I remember seeing Oden role hard to the basket before off of picks. I’d like to see more of that.

Joel Przybilla is the Vanilla Gorilla.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
Juwan Howard? I wan Howard!

Good sub by Nate
can’t have all the bigs with 3

Joel and LMA with 3

I know
I just think when Oden is in a rhythm, you let him play. He has to learn how to not commit fouls sooner or later…
Sooner or later, yes
He won’t learn it with 2 minutes left in the half with Joel and LMA in foul trouble as well.
You are right
Its just that Nate’s tendency to bench players whether they are flowing or not annoys me, especially when its the young center we are trying to develop into a beast.
It was the right move though….
Really? Not Howard?

Had no choice
"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
Not much he could do...
Shot clock running down…
complaining on both ends
one, he could have made the shot. Two, he could have closed out better on Manu.
Blake sez "you're the bad outside shooter, have the ball"
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Can Martell or Rudy get
some of the minutes of our cornerstone Steve Blake? The bench grows the lead, in comes Blakey. Sheesh…

The first unit worked better than I thought
but that end of 1st quarter unit was unreal

I still don' like the two PG lineup
I rather see Rudy in rather than Blake or even Webster
Maintaining the lead
I like this new approach to B-ball

roy with the caramel smooth j to end the half, I approve.

I would love for this to become the Rudy v Manu show.

I hate that TP got injured, but now that he is, I hope he doesn't come back.

well,

True. But I'm pretty sure Parker is among the quickest PGs in the league not named Aaron Brooks.

im worried
about fouls on our big men, tduncan is a master or foul drawing, could be a factor in the 4th quarter
make him play defense
TD doesn’t want to play defense. wear him out. beat him up. run Oden and LMA at him all night long.
So how's Dejaun Blake doing?
Andre Mills is starting right? Brandon Ginobli is doing okay?
Andre to Roy alley oops = 24-7 = All day every day
That's Deron Blair right?
I’m looking for Dejaun Blake.
Andre to Roy alley oops = 24-7 = All day every day
Blake has more minutes than Rudy and Martell combined?
Ouch.
Somebody’s gonna be unhappy.

+1
This backcourt is not the answer. Blake has played about 17 minutes, Rudy and Webster 6. I want KP to save us from Nate’s love for Blake the same way he did with Jack

Yeah
It worked, Nate made a good call thus far, but did it work because of Blake, or just because?
I’d just rather see Martell or Rudy out there, since he provides the same shooting plus some more— and Blake’s PGness doesn’t offer much when ya got Miller and Roy out there.
A couple of talents like Rudy and Webster
only getting 6 minutes a piece is a bummer. Please play them more and Blake less.
The 2005-2006 Blazers disagree.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet
Radio just reported Parker has a sprained ankle and won’t be back.

more Marty
more Webster in the 2nd half Nate. He is a sick athlete and will use anyone SA assigns to check him.
Lol, Ric Bucher is hallucinating: "Kaman, healthy, is an All-Star."
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Isn't he averaging 20+, 10+, and a couple blocks to boot?
He deserves a center spot if he keeps that up….
There will only be one C spot since all others will be filled by PF/Cs
And the fans won’t vote for Kaman over Bynum (and Oden. And Yao as usual.)

Lakers really mailing it in November. Plus no Gasol.
