Was just watching KPTV news and they are reporting Roy is out with a Sore back from the magic game. If this is already posted please delete.
 
Well that sucks. It will be fun to see what kind of messed up lineups Nate concocts tonight. We SHOULD see a lot of Jerryd Bayless. He is the only player on our roster that can come close to staying in front of Wade. If it were me I'd start Bayless to keep our second unit intact
 
I'm interested in seeing how Rudy handles being the focus of the defense. Wade better have his track shoes on because he's going to be chasing Rudy all night. Although Rudy's going to get abused by Wade on offense.

Seems to me that Wade gives up most of what he gets. He's more concerned with offense than defense. Rudy should be able to get open. It should be fun to watch how they run their offense with out Roy slowing it down. But then again it could get ugly.
 
I wanna see Rudy get alot of minutes. I've loved his play since the Olympics, and I think this game I can watch on ESPN, during my Laker game, so I can easily go back and forth during commercials.

By the way, how many injuries is this for you guys so far? Seems like it's nonstop...fucking sucks you guys can't see your whole team healthy together. I know I'd go nuts.
 
I wanna hear somoene else that has heard this same info. It isn't anywhere other than here, and it's only one person that heard it
 
I agree. I usually don't get my team info from AM Northwest or whatever show it was from.

Wade is a good defender in spurts - but he does concentrate more on offense, that is true. The place where Wade does give back to the opposite team is with turn-overs. More than 4 per game this year (and almost 4 for his career).

He is still a great player. I think that a healthy Wade has only Kobe to combat for the title of 2nd best player in the NBA.

I think you are forgetting about LaBron. King James has led teams that wouldn't make the playoffs in the d-league to the playoffs in the NBA. Wade, when faced with the same adversity, mailed it in.
 
Jay Allen just said on The Game that Roy "is going to try and play tonight".
 
The lineup would be interesting. Nate said he was thinking about Oden off the bench, because Roy and LMA could score for the starters. My guess is Rudy goes to the starting lineup. If that is true, you could see why you would want Oden in at the start. I don't think you can start Rudy, Batum and Joel though--scoring might be a little iffy, unless Rudy goes off.

Bayless to start would be interesting though. Bayless did get to guard Wade this summer, and Wade is only a bit taller.

If I were king:

First Unit:

Blake
Rudy
Outlaw
LMA
Oden

Second Unit:

Sergio
Bayless
Batum
Frye
Joel

Come on Nate, just do it.
 
Seeing more of Rudy wouldn't be a bad thing, and seeing Bayless out there get some burn would be nice to see.
But if the game is on the line, that's when Roy will be missed...

I think we'll see a lot of Batum on him.. Nicolas played well against Parker, but yeah... Wade might tear us up tonight.
But I thought Marion is out for Miami too?

hmm. i was thinking batum on beasely
 
In order for the Blazers to win this game, they are going to need a hell of a game from Aldridge on the inside. But looking at Miami, he should have a pretty good size advantage there.

Me too. Bayless should start. But something tells me that Nate wont play him much, which pisses me off. J. Bay needs to play.

Well... I think Beasley is way too strong for Batum. Based on Miami's last starting lineup I'd put:

Blake/Sergio on Mario Chalmers
Batum on Wade (for a bit to see how that works)
Rudy on Diawara/Daequan Cook
Aldridge/Outlaw on Beasley
Oden/Joel on Haslem

They only go eight deep..

If Wade is on, I hope Nate tries both Batum and Bayless on Wade. Whichever is more effective stays in. They don't need to do much else other than defend.
