    Outlaw is a perimeter player, and so is Rudy. Oden is in the paint and would love to play with Miller, as Miller has said he feeds the biggest guy on the team. Pairing Miller with Joel is a nightmare as Joel can't catch anything.

    Nate has never been one to be very creative on offense.

    He's been a great scorer this preseason. 14 ppg in 22 minutes.

    You're sure full of questions tonight. Are you going to add something substantive, or just play merry-go-round?

    Blake has always been good at getting Joel some easy buckets. Penetrate and dish. Surely, Miller could do the same thing.

    What I don't like about the cast that is starting now is they don't try to setup Greg. If Greg is going to score, it will be due to garbage points.

    First, Howard is a godsend at PF over Outlaw. Now, Howard is a negative?

    Your word of the day appears to be "presumptive" and yet you post that?

    None of them. Roy looks for Aldridge, Batum and Blake. Blake looks for Roy, and Aldridge. Aldridge haven't heard him pass the ball.

    Greg took 5 shots and shot 5 free throws in the first quarter. I'm fine with that amount of touches as the third option on this team.

    Oden has said he would love playing with Miller because Miller is the best at alley-oops. Nate takes it away.

    :crazy:

    His shots did not come from teammates setting him up.

    That's perfectly fine for me. 7 pts & 4 rebs is a very good quarter. Let LMA and Roy being the main scoring options and have Oden grab rebounds, play defense, and get his own offense on his own hustle. Have Batum play good defense and only take his shots when they're doubling the Big 3. Same with Blake. Get the ball to the Big 3. Hit the open three if his man leaves him. That's formula for success.
