    Webster's complete lack of a handle puts too much ball handling responsibility on Miller... Portland becomes too one dimensional. I'd start Rudy or Bayless and play Martell in backup minutes. I'm fully on board with giving Donte a bigger role. Dude is solid.

    With his baseline performances, I don't see either option as being a given.

    2 guards need to be able to handle the ball which is something Martell is far from natural at.

    Yes! Webster actually plays pretty well in pressure situations. Remember our last game in Denver? Remember his game against Phoenix when we came back from 25 down and he played most of the second half at PF? He's very focused this season. Whether he starts or not, I expect him to play 30+ minutes. I personally think he's the key to us winning without Brandon. Rudy has never, in his two seasons with us, shown that he can play well in big games.
