After this break he is gonna announce the opening night starting line-up!
 
Blake, Bayless, Outlaw, Pryzilla and Howard!:drumroll:
 
Same as last year!

Starting Sunday
 
Our bench will be crazy tough!
 
Wish it was Brandon, LA, Greg, Martell and Andre. I do understand Nate wanting to balance out the rotation though.
 
That's the opening night starting lineup? Or just the lineup starting this Sunday?

What the fuck else does Greg have to do to win a starting job? Gimme a break. I don't care about getting touches off the bench. Our offense sucked shit to start games last season. One guy couldn't dribble past the FT line, and the other was just, in general, a liability on offense, and we played 4 on 5. Sometimes 3 on 5. So we're being told/shown that our top 3 players on the team just can't fit together as a starting unit and it makes more sense to bring one off the bench or..? sorry. I'm probably over reacting, just annoyed at the thought of this.
 
so basically we will suck early this season and by game 3.... changes will be made like last year after outlaw got benched.

and didnt oden start last year till he got hurt?

Opening night, but they will start doing this Sunday. So that will give them 2 games to get the "normal rotation" tightened up.
 
Is this serious? Nate needs to get booted. Who do we have for possible replacements?
 
What made Nate do this was the 3rd quarter last night. Blake, Rudy, Nic, Travis and Pryz got KILLED!!!!!!!!!!

McMillan is a joke.

I think this is a fucking joke. He doesn't think the starting unit can defend, so he starts Blake... Unreal. It takes more than 4 preseason games to learn how to play with each other.

If he doesn't start Oden opening night I'm going to be pissed, and I've always defended Nate. But that is a no-brainer.
 
Rudy's back is pretty bad. Won't play tonight or Sunday either!
 
I could understand Blake and Nicolas back in the starting lineup, but if this team is going to achieve that championship level of success, it needs Brandon, LA and Greg to learn how to play with one another and be on the floor for the majority of the game.

You know, a simple solution would be to figure out a rotation where those 5 guys aren't on the floor at the same time then. Like having one of Roy, Aldridge, or Oden on the floor at ALL times. But no, instead he gives us an inferior starting unit to what we could potentially have. That's a great idea. Fuck.
 
Wow. Wow! I like Nate but I dont get that at all. I really hope it goes well cuz he is putting his ass on the line here.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

So funny it hurts ... wow!

When I heard the starting lineup before last nights game, all I could think of was how weak the second unit was going to be. Roy also struggles with Oden in. Andre and Oden seem to work well together, as would Rudy with them (but not with Roy).

This makes a lot of sense to me.
