I would hope so. What's the point to bring in a true rebounding center if you're going to stick him behind Juwan Howard?
The other thing it does is allows Juwan Howard to go back to being a 2nd unit guy, helping that unit function better too. Both units basketball IQ just went up. Now that Blake is gone, does this mean we can try to run now?
He will start, yes. Back to the bench for Andre Miller. At least Camby averages the same number of assists as Blake.
Miller and Camby played together for 3 years in Denver. Miller will have better chemistry with him then he does have currently with any other player on the Blazers. No reason not to start him.
I think without a doubt. Now with that said who starts tonight at SG with Roy apparently not playing and Blake now gone? Bayless? Rudy? Batum?
Dumb question. The guy is 2nd in the league in rebounding and 6th in block shots and we desperatly need a big man. Of course he's going to start!
I'd completely forgotten that they were teammates in Denver - that makes it an even better acquisition.
He fuckin' better - IMMEDIATELY. If Nate jerks him around like he did Miller, I'll be pissed. We only have 27 games left in the season. There is no time to "take it slow" and ease him onto teh starting line-up. Camby doesn't demand a lot of touches. So, we won't have to change our offense to accommodate him. Put him in the starting line-up and move forward. Anything else is a waste of time and will end up costing us games we could win. Do it and do it now. We traded for him because we need a starting center, not a back-up. BNM
That was a long time ago. I disagree that Miller will have better chemistry with Camby then the guys he's been playing and practicing with for the past 5 months. It will be easier for them to get back in a groove because they played together.
is this thread for real? will he start? no they like howard. are you kidding me? its like asking if the nets make the playoffs.
Pretty much. He is our best chance at clogging the middle, grabbing rebounds, oh, and also making sure we secure the rebounds on missed free throws by the other team. Howard has been great for us, but at this point Camby > Howard.
I don't think Marcus starts for a few games. Nate likes to ease players in and Camby is going to need some practices under his belt.
