It comes from Nate before camp saying that the players will decide who starts through their play. Portland has now lost 100% of all of their games with Joel starting this post season. Which of course tells us nothing. There will be a learning period having Oden in the lineup instead of Joel. Frankly, Roy and LMA haven't been used to passing the ball into the middle because doing so with Joel was pointless. Ask yourself this: In the long run do you see a starting lineup of Blake, Roy, <who gives a shit>, LMA and Joel winning a title? I don't. No inside scoring threat = early playoff exit.
