    On Rip City Live, Jason Quick is reporting that there will be a new starting lineup tonight. He would not reveal what it was, but hinted that it would look like the old Blazer teams and the focus would be on Brandon Roy...and getting him going.

    Focus of the second unit would be getting another player going.

    I'm guessing:

    Miller
    Roy
    Rudy
    LMA
    Oden

    the focus of the 2nd unit is...Blakey?

    Hahaha.

    I would guess (pessimistically):

    Blake
    Roy
    Rudy
    Aldridge
    Joel

    Ugh. I hope I'm wrong.

    I prefer any of the lineups you guys suggested to the one I fear....

    the same thing he started the season with...
    Blake
    Roy
    Webster
    Aldridge
    Oden

    focus of the second unit getting Fernandez the ball.

    I know it's all just a house of cards in terms of speculation, but benching Oden would be saying, pretty much, that Oden and Roy can't play together.

    Is there a Blazers fan alive that isn't afraid of the coach taking that approach to our franchise's future?

    I'll take that. I don't want Oden and Roy to be determined to be incompatible.
