Blake racking up assists and making sure Oden gets the ball every time down the floor. The same people who hate Blake complain that Oden doesn't get the ball enough, but Blake is repeatedly getting Oden the ball.
Excuse me? You are the one telling us that the new line-up is not making the team look any better. Allow me to refresh your memory: Why can you make observations about small data samples and I can not? As for how the team looks, in my opinion, this team looks best when there is a lot of spacing and Brandon Roy initiates the ball most of the time. Unfortunately, that does not happen with Miller that often.
MM- you still hate Blake? He's been the one who is constantly getting the ball to Oden, your primary concern.
I was responding to your implication that Blake as the "better point guard for Roy" was being borne out. Let me refresh your memory: ...in the midst of Portland scoring 40 points for a half and Roy scoring as inefficiently as ever. It didn't "seem" that way at all. I don't believe in using small data sets for meaningful conclusions, but it struck me as particularly odd that you were doing so when that small data set really didn't seem to be bearing your conclusion out at all. Well, we'll have to agree to disagree. The few times when the Blazers have pushed the pace with Miller as point guard, the team has looked the best on offense, in my opinion.
That's not true. Our offense is best with Blake. We got off to a good start because of Blake's threes. Then, in the third, he set Oden up for wide open dunks. Then he set Webster up for wide open threes. Then he got Roy going.
