    Team chemistry!

    During this last week of the preseason watch the Roy, Blake and Rudy to pass up open shots and feed the ball to Oden for easy dunks that will bring the crowd to their feet. Chemistry is a real factor in sports and is one of this Blazer team's greatest strength. Oden's confidence and enjoyment of the game will increase with easy looks at the basket. The team knows this and will sacrifice scoring stats to get the big guy involved

    Makes sense. I hope you're right. Besides, I want to see Greg flip-off Jason.

    Quick's article wasn't that bad. I don't get why people are pissed about it.

    Looking for:

    1. Hill and Randolph will compete for minutes at the backup center...maybe rest more Pryz.
    2. Blake will legitimize his role as the starting PG.
    3. Rudy will get his 6th man minutes in.
    4. The starting SF will have to be determined this week. Can Batum handle it?

    If Batum looks a little overwhelmed as a starter I'd rather try Rudy as our SF vs TO.

    I'd almost prefer that even if he looks great to be perfectly honest.

    I sure would like to see Rudy get a couple of starts for these remaining preseason games. Batum starts one, Rudy starts the other, rinse and repeat.

    I think Blake's return will make a huge difference in the way the offense performs. I like Batum in the starting lineup because it keeps the White Unit intact: Sergio, Rudy, TO, Channing and Joel is one hell of a team.
