    In your head. I think Roy will prefer whoever helps the team win more games. So far his career has shown that he's willing to do whatever it takes to win. Blakey is a big boy. If the writing is on the wall, he'll accept his role.

    He said as much yesterday, that it is more about the team and not about "me" or what I want. He was right then. I have no reason doubt him. But he does have preferences and I'm sure he will define them in his meetings with coach.

    So if the team plays better with Miller in the starting lineup, you think Roy will tell Nate to start Blake because they have history together? Nice speculation. :crazy:

    So Miller is balling and Roy is raving about him, Bayless is hitting game winners, has an improved jumper and the Glove loves him. Can I get a start Blakey chant please?

    Maybe the best news is no news at all. As Quick said yesterday, nothing really stood out about Blakey other than his record breaking conditioning time. That means he is still his average, solid self.

    Solid until the game is on the line in the playoffs against the Houston Rockets and Rudy is wide open for three. :devilwink:

    No, this can't be right.

    I have quotes from posters on this board saying that Nate won't ever change lineups and is completely stuck in his ways.

    You, sir, are mistaken.

    But I think he is protecting his star player. I think the reason why he is so gung ho on this is due to Brandon Roy and Roy's comfort level with certain players. Like Blakey for instance. Blakey get's the hell out of the way and lets him do his thing.

    Are YOU Brandon? Man, I'm so happy you have time to post on this message board. I'm a huge fan and plan on getting your jersey for one of my boys this season.
