POLL: if Bayless and Roy are out then...

If Bayless and Roy don't play, what happens to the point position?

  1. Dre and Blake eat lots of minutes

    41.7%
  2. We see Rudy and Batum take more responsibility

    55.6%
  3. We see Patty with some minutes

    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.

    Other. Nate is having Steve cloned, and plans to play him at all five positions.

    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.

    I think you move Martell to the 2 guard and Nic to the 3 in the starting lineup.

    1 and 2. Dre/Rudy/Batum. Blake will get more minutes, but hopefully not too many more.

    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.

    Ditto, Bayless should be listed as a SG.

    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.

    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.
