    this lineup is the best to me

    C-Theo
    PF-Zach
    SF-Darius
    SG-Derek
    PG-Nick

    Reef,Ruben, and Stoudimare gives some fire power of the bench. but i still dunno about Nick or Damon

    I think that the Blazers should use this lineup:

    PG- Damon Stoudamire
    SG- Derek Anderson
    SF- Shareef Abur Rahim
    PF- Zach Randolph
    C- Theo Ratliff

    Iam new to the portland forums but i post mostly on the magic forums. My fav team is orlando and second favorite is portland. Ne ways...
    I like the line up for a new look to be:
    PG-Stoudamire
    SG-Anderson
    SF-Miles
    PF-Randolph
    C-Abur Rahim

    C- as Shareef beacuse he is tall and stong but he might be more capable of a center to start and be backed up by ratliff
    Pg-Back-up Van Exil hes getting he touch back.

    second, WHOA! Reef,center? naw. Hes 6'9 and hes in the west even if we were in the east it still wouldn't work

    the average height for centers in the west is 7'0

    Yeah I agree. Reef is to smll for Center. Why wouldnt you want Theo's defensive force on your starting squad anyways?

    Well even Theos 6`10 but iam not much of a fan of him i like reef and back from injury he put up good numbers. He can be a big threat as you saw he was offered on the table for vince and is rumers for him to be traded. Thats just my opinion on the starting lineup you guys had nice ones that will work mine is just what i would like to see.

    PG- Nick
    SG- Anderson
    SF- Ruben
    PF- Reef
    C- Theo
    Ruben has been playing great defense these last couple of games and he needs some time to show himself with the other 4 starters. Also, this starting 5 is very old and they will probably not get alot of fastbreak oppurtunities anyways so they should give him a try.
