    Every starting Blazer is a top 10 player at his position. I believe we are the only team in the NBA that can say that. Discuss.

    Well if that's the case we should get out of the first round easy.

    Batum, Matthews, Aldridge, Lillard and Aldridge is the best starting 5 in the nba. If we can get decent production from t rob, mo, freeland and Barton; we will be a formidable 10 rotation.

    All works well when the playoffs start, since rotations get tighter

    Will Barton is the new Joel Freeland.

    Did you forget Wright? He will get some run.

    Rotation should look like this come playoff time:

    Lillard (32) / Mo (16)
    Wes (25) / Barton (15) / Mo (4) / Lillard (4)
    Batum (35) / Wes (7) / Wright (6)
    LA (38) / T-Rob (10)
    Lopez (30) / Freeland (10) / T-Rob (8)

    I think an 8 man rotation for the playoffs would be better.

    It pretty much is. Wright and Freeland will mostly be used for rest minutes.

    Yes, it would be - if only we could clone Aldridge and convince the clone to play center.

    More like for foul trouble (Wright), but I do agree that more than 8 players will be in the rotation at some point during the Houston series.

    If Freeland doesn't come back, then Robinson becomes a 16-20 minute player in the rotation, depending on match-ups. Meyers Leonard may also see some action if Howard is struggling.

    defense, a backup PF or C who scores 10 ppg and plays defense, will be the difference between this team making the playoffs and winning series.

    Top 3 at all five positions? No one has that. We're better balanced. The team that beat Memphis and Chicago can win a title.

    Also, Durant is considered number 1 but he ain't winning a championship.
