    In all honesty, it wouldn't surprise me if Nate went with a Miller/Blake/Roy/Webster/Aldridge starting lineup.

    haha.. yeah, wow. I can't believe it's come to this and we might have a front line with a combination of Howard/Dante/Pendergraph when LA goes to the bench. Geez..

    And people questioned why KP signed him. Howard is a starter in this league.

    Anybody else read the title for this thread and stare blankly into space, slightly whimpering?

    That's the real problem. The starting unit actually isn't that bad - assuming Roy's not injured: Miller/Roy/Webster/Aldridge/Howard at least gives the Blazers three very good players. But the reserves? Bayless is the only one who'll really give the Blazers anything, and his consistency is still very much in question. At least Blake tends not to make mistakes, even if he tends to disappear, as well. But Cunningham, Pendergraph and Tolliver? H'oh boy.

    How long until Fernandez comes back? Man, it's going to be one long January.

    Why won't Orlando see sense and give us Gortat (or Bass) for Blake? He's the perfect PG for their system (i.e., shoots threes). Damn Jason Williams and his surprising competence! Damn him to hell!

    But at what cost in human lives?

    I was thinking last night that the Blazers should just go all out and foul constantly. Dare the referees to foul out enough players so that we have NONE LEFT.
