The starting Five

[Blazer4ever]

We're not really starting our 5 strongest players, are we?
If you could choose our starting lineup thinking our best players should start, who would your starters be?

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame
CJ
Harkless
Vonleh
Plumlee

Eventually

Dame
CJ
Harkless
Vonleh
Ezeli

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So far this season our best starting 5 is:

Lillard
CJ
Layman
Layman
Layman

 

[THE HCP]

Interesting topic, but that's not how hoops works right? It's about chemistry. Players knowing their roles. you don't want your 6-10th best on the court together if you ask me.

Our 3rd-6th or 7th best players all about the same.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Blazers are outscoring opponents by 35.6 points per 100 possessions in the six minutes Damian Lillard, Allen Crabbe, Evan Turner, Al-Farouq Aminu and Meyers Leonard have shared the floor this season.

I'd probably start Crabbe with Aminu and it's not a popular decision, but I'd bring CJ off the bench...he doesn't light up the scoreboard in the first half very often....I'd finish the game with CJ
Dame
Crabbe
Turner
Aminu
Plumlee

Wow, six whole minutes.

I see your ridiculous small sample size stat and raise you:

In 8 minutes, Jake Layman is averaging 100.9 points per 100 possessions and has a PER of 97.3!

BNM

 

[rotary111]

Start

Shabaz
Crabbe
Turner
Vonleh
Davis

We then bring in our regular starters to play again'st their second unit.

Brilliant!

 

[Natebishop3]

I know @BlazerCaravan agrees with me on this...

TRADE CJ!

Uh huh.

 

[Blazinaway]

I think Aminu starting at PF should end

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I think Aminu starting at PF should end

OK, as long as they don't start him at SF otherwise.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame
CJ
Layman
Vonleh
Meyers

Period.

its coming off the bench time for the chief

 

[Orion Bailey]

So to translate....

The great white hype is back to being the great white hope!!!
I just took my Jersey off of Ebay!!!!
Lol

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I am saying that is something I could see POR doing and calling it change. Moving him from one spot to another. Not the solution.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Dame
CJ
Layman
Vonleh
Meyers

Period.

Vonleh sure. Layman should get minutes but not start. Meyers no. Unless it is just to build up to trade him.

He'll probably get more minutes now and play decent for a couple of weeks Just take it down and then resubmit it when he peaks.... Double your $$$$

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Dame
CJ
Layman
Vonleh
Meyers

Period.

It would certainly be interesting to see what that group could do on offense. They'd definitely have a tough time stopping anybody though.

We're already having a tough time stopping anybody.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Dame
CJ
Layman
Vonleh
Meyers

Period.

Lillard
McCollum
Gay
Cousins
Ezeli

That sounds better.

 

[craigehlo]

Lillard
CJ
Crabbe
Noah
Davis

 

[BigGameDamian]

Lillard
McCollum
Gay
Cousins
Ezeli

That sounds better.

But I guess if the Blazers traded for both Gay and Cousins the Kings would want McCollum. So more like this.
Lillard
Crabbe
Gay
Cousins
Ezeli?
Would you consider such an idea?

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

I just took my Jersey off of Ebay!!!!

Wow Dude! I didn't know there was a Blazer jersey for Orion Bailey! Where can I get one now that you've taken it off ebay?????

 

[dviss1]

Dame
CJ
Layman
Vonleh
Meyers

Period.

[Chris Craig]

I think Aminu starting at PF should end

I agree project big prince has failed

 

[Chris Craig]

Vonleh needs to start over Aminu at the 4

 

[Sinobas]

Damian
CJ
Tincil McFenderpants
Clency Henderson
Jamanthany Gingerbread

 

[South East]

Really I don't see the issue being who's starting. In almost every game the starters looked really good it was the bench that struggled. If you want to make a case for a different starter for defensive purposes that I would understand but there doesn't need to be any more offense with the starters.
