Steve Blake

He did disappear in the 2nd half. I think he only managed to log 1 rebound, 1 point, and 3 misses in the 2nd. Ouch!

+ was invisible on defense

I think Rudy was just playing in the flow of the game. Roy was killing them and Aldridge was hitting on 8 cylinders pretty much as well - there was no real need for Rudy to take over and play crazy. His shot was not falling - but he did rebound efficiently and managed to get the ball to Roy when needed. What more do you need?

Like last year Steve will have good games.

He's better suited as a backup.

Yep, but when he's in how's the teams overall performance? Not that good so far IMO

Steve Blake shot 4-7 tonight, including 3-4 from three. He had more success against Nash than did Bayless. Sure there are a lot of nights where he's not effective, but tonight he was pretty good. And pretty good is about the most you can expect from him night in and night out.

Edit: Oops, I had an incomplete box score. He shot 4-9 and 3-5 from three. Still pretty decent. He also had a rebound, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 TOs. Not great, but not terrible.

I'd love to see that. I'd like to see a playoff team and playoff run this season, but really, the most important thing to me this season is to figure out how to fit the talent together the best. Even if it means some losses, I want to see the team's highest upside talent given a lot of chance to play together. That means, to me, Roy, Fernandez, Batum, Aldridge and Oden (once he's back). And Bayless, Webster and Outlaw as the main reserves.

Roy is too slow and methodical to pair with Rudy and Batum. He'll drag them down just like Jack would.

He'll never be a fastbreak player.
