Even if they started Batum and brought Travis in after 4 minutes it makes sense. Although I am sure he can last 6 minutes against most teams. But either way it gives Travis about 6-8 minutes with the first team and 6-8 with the second team (per half)
 
Well geez, if Wikipedia says so, then it must be true!
 
:dunno: I don't see any harm in having Batum be the designated starter. Tell him to focus on defense (and getting the ball to the open man), and see if the rest of the starters can carry him on offense. Distribute the minutes between him and Travis based on the flow of the game and the nature of the opposition.

No.

He'd be an even greater liability defensively at that position than Brandon would be ... spot minutes are one thing in a small-ball lineup, but Brandon or Rudy at the 3 for extended minutes is a bad idea.

Maris, I know you are something of a dashing sophisticate. I know you have cut a swath through beautiful ladies on at least 3 continents. Despite that, I must give you some blunt advice: paternity test. Neither Rudy or Sergio look a thing like you!

No announcement has been made yet. Outlaw would be better off the bench but I don't think Batum has earned the starting role either.

Oddly Wikipedia has Batum starting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Trail_Blazers

I'm not sure it's odd. He was promoted to starter in the preseason. Everybody else who was starting preseason games is a starter. Batum is evidently the starter as well.

Just call him Angelina Jolie - he likes to adopt the foreign kids.

Batum! Just like San Antonio does. Start whoever, and bring in Manu and let him play 30 minutes a game. I liked how the team looked @ Sacramento and LA towards the end of preseason.
