I dunno, maybe they'll use an actual point guard to play the position rather than Bayless and Roy who are both SG's? I expect we'll continue to showcase Miller until the deadline anyway.
Wouldn't mind seeing Webster and Batum in at the same time. Personally I think Rudy would be a great fit offensively in the starting lineup. Problem is he doesn't match up defensively with any of the starters.
Option 1 and Option 2 are not mutually exclusive. Nate will call on Blake. Rudy and Batum will play more, and continue to make a positive impact on the game.
If those 2 are out AND the Blazers actually end up winning, I would give credence to the idea of the curse of the Rose Garden.
They should start Batum and Martell, Lakers are to big to start Blake if both Bayless and Roy are out.
I miss read the poll. I thought it said What do I want to see happen. I picked Rudy and Batum get more time. What will happen is that we will be subjected to more Blake. A lot more Blake.
option 2 implies implies batum and rudy will bring the ball up more, while option 1 implies they would not. atleast in my opinion
Ah. Since we are missing players at the SG position, I think it opens it up for all three to get more minutes. As others and myself have said, I think Nate relies on Blake more (surprise surprise surprise) whereas I would start Miller-Webster-Batum. But Webster ain't bringing the ball up (shudder LOL) and I don't think Nate will have Batum do it either.
Other: We play Patty at center, Dre at small forward, LMA at point guard, Batum at shooting guard and Martell at the 4
