Nate McMillan did this in Seattle with Antonio Daniels and Luke Ridnour.

Sometimes it worked, while other times it failed. On the whole, though, I don’t think it’s a good idea.

I agree

Why are we so worried about Blake’s feelings? If we want to start Miller, just do it. Blake’s a great bench player, but Miller is the more talented point man to pass the ball. It’s pretty obvious and a lot of non-Blazer fans I know where wondering what the hell we’ve been thinking.

Just hoping we don’t have another collapse like our last two home games..

Bayless provided a good spark, but probably should have been pulled a minute or so earlier

My guess is that it was a split-second decision to pass the ball inside.

It seems that Brandon Roy is still way too tenative to pass to Greg Oden, though, which needs to change if #7 wants to get a ring. Frankly, Roy isn’t good enough to win it all by himself and LaMarcus Aldridge isn’t a true #2 option.

Roy and blake reaped the benefits of his skilled play tonight,

as their shoddy perimeter defense was covered more than adequately by Oden’s presence underneath.

but the question is which would you rather see on a nightly basis, minutes-wise:

Blake 38, Rudy 12, Webster 13
OR
Blake 15, Rudy 26, Webster 22

I have NO problem with 3-guard lineup given matchups that allow it, but I can’t ever justify Blake over Rudy as the 3rd guard. I just can’t

How did you guys win that?

Aldridge needs to embrace a Nowitzki/Sheed role.

Dude has an awful post game and panics when he’s doubled down low. He needs to work on shooting straight up when he gets the chance and working on his defense.

But yeah, Oden is the key, especially if he can develop his offense and avoid fouls.

heck no

Jermaine Oneal has a similar body to Aldridge, and he was never known as a soft dude. Aldridge needs to continue to embrace the physicality of the post. Don’t drift out and shoot jumper after jumper.

On offense, Brandon Roy and Greg Oden will need to learn to work together for optimum success.

You know what, if nothing else I want Batum back

 so Nate has no excuse but to play him because of his terrific defense, and Outlaw will be pushed out of the sf rotation so both lineups will feature players who will move off teh ball (webster/Batum). Although I hope they don’t become frustrated and just sit in the corner when Roy takes over.

There was a lot of Steve Blake playing the 3 on offense, too, which is somewhat odd to contemplate.

Ironically, though, Kirk Hinrich would be perfect for that role of guarding 2s and playing the 3 on offense in a three-guard lineup that also features Brandon Roy and Andre Miller. Blake, however, has neither the defensive chops nor the ability to move well off the ball to fill that role effectively. Man, I’d be so happy to trade Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake for Kirk Hinrich. That way, a three-guard lineup can work effectively and, moreover, Rudy Fernandez would get more minutes off the bench at the 3.

That cannot be allowed to happen

LA would have another dynasty.

Might be overstating it but a core of Hinrich, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum and Odom for the next few years would be nigh on unbeatable. Both offensively and defensively they would have no weaknesses.

The main reason I think we won’t get Hinrich is that I truly believe KP made a genuine attempt to get him before we signed Miller.
