Terrible.

Worst since the McInnis-as-shooting-guard move so long ago. This team has other options, though, so it makes it worse in some ways.

Why the fuck is Blake starting ahead of Webster and Rudy? It's just stupid.

I like the idea of Roy being the SF, but I much prefer having a real SG in the starting SG spot.

I'd rather Blake or Miller, Rudy and Roy.
 
Nate's obsession, man love, possible civil union on the side with Blake needs to end somehow. If that is Blake being traded or McMillan being relieved of duties it needs to stop; the three guard lineup has worked terrible thus far this year and it is horrifying Nate does not see that.
 
As Bill Walton might say, that is the worst coaching decision in the history of NBA basketball. Just unbelievable.
 
Holy mother of god. Hasn't he learned that Blake/Miller/Roy doesn't work already? Jesus Christ, god save us all.
 
Seriously - the only way this might, just might work - is because the Spurs have been starting Parker, Finley and R-Jeff - Roy can guard R-Jeff - and since Finley is practically a mummy at this stage of his career - one of Blake and Miller will probably be able to guard him.

Still - this is a very strange decision.

But Webster would be much better on Jefferson and Roy won't have to work much on Finley.

You're right, but...

What does Blake do better than Webster or Rudy? Walk the ball up, but he should be the THIRD ball-handler on the floor.

Maybe he's a superior three point shooter? I don't think so, but maybe, but he puts us at a defensive disadvantage even worse than he normally does by being in there.

Ugh.

Good god, Blake/Miller is the worst defensive backcourt in the league. How bad does Nate want to lose?

I guess Nate figured that Webster will strengthen our 2nd unit - so he moved him there for better balance.

No, honestly. I really do not know. Maybe they think that the Spurs starting unit is not a fast unit (other than Parker) - so they are going to try and push the ball down the throat on transition and exploit LMA's speed advantage over Boner? Honestly, I have no effin' clue.
 
Haha, this guy just can't seem to bench Blake.
 
Puzzling decision. That strikes me as the worst possible combination of three players that Portland has tried and now McMillan wants to start with it? Maybe he realizes that he's addicted and can't stop himself, so he wants to get it over with as quickly as possible and then go with a lineup that might be successful for the remaining three quarters.

Run? Run? Let's just give the fuck up on running. He's said it for ages, and we haven't changed. Let's just forget running.

Look, I am trying to find a logical explanation - and I do not have too much time doing it. So, there you have it. Other than that - I really do not know.I have had, what, 20 minutes to work on it? There are bound to be some issues with the theory.

The one that was killing us last year, on the Spurs - was Parker. Maybe he thinks that having 3 guards that are all switching on defense will somehow help slow him down?

LMAO, what the hell else could it be?
 
What's the over under on Oden on the bench with two fouls? I'm thinking 1.5 minutes. I might have to take the under on that. Nate's head, on a pike, outside the Rose Garden - near the fountains perhaps.

Except all three guards are TERRIBLE on defense. This decision just makes me :ohno: out of my head.

Yes, they are, but they are better than Rudy and they are better than Webster on quick guards. We do not have Nic, and Webster is really a better defender on bigger, stronger wings - so this leaves us with Bayless - which he (Nate) is clearly not ready to trust.

I am trying buddy, I am trying.

I do not get this at all. Hope we win big and he proves us all wrong, is all I am saying.

Not if all three are defending Parker at the same time, maybe. Sure, that means two Spurs will have no defender, but the way the Blazers are playing defense, no defender at all won't be much of a downgrade.
 
OMFG LMAO! I'm seriously not making this up. My mom is at my house as she was watching the boy earlier and I just got home. So I tell her about McMillan's decision and she says "Seriously? I would be a better coach." LMFAO @ McScribbles fucking pwned by my mom!

Wow. It's for real. My brother's at the game and they just changed the stat board so that Blake, Roy, AND Miller are starting. Wow.
 
Wow!!

Assclown strikes again.


Oden to the bench with 2 fouls with 10 minutes left in the first quarter.
 
Nate is letting Miller start, but giving him a doomed to fail lineup so when he moves Miller back to the bench he can say "hey I gave him a chance, it didn't work"
