Well as much as I would rather Miller start

[magnifier661]

I am happy that Nate at least moved Roy to his natural position. I will be the first to tell you that I was wrong about the "3 guard line-up", I was a big fan of it.

It looked good at first, but Mike Rice was right; it was fools gold that looked shiny against inept opponents. I was taken in as well, but I'm glad Roy's back at SG.

Getting Roy back to his natural position makes a ton of sense. I despised the three guard lineup from the first moment to the last, and I hope we never have to see it again for more than short stretches during games.

the 3 guard line up should not have included blake.....

 

[handiman]

It was purely a gimmick that allowed Nate to start Miller without having to make a decision about benching Blake. It had nothing to do with making the team better.

 

[Uther TheGardener]

i have to agree with that totally

Have you looked at the schedule for the next week?

Powder puff opponents....exactly the right time to get a new guy (like Miller) integrated with Roy.

How many championship teams run a platoon system? None. Why Nate inisist thats important is beyond me. While we were getting bounced from the playoffs last year and afterwards Roy was asking for help with the ball and the offense. He got it. Now he won't even try to make it work, and the coach is letting him have his way. I agree with moving him back to SG. I disagree with Steve Blake being annointed our starter at PG.

Which, of course, it didn't. Since Roy had to play SF in order to keep Blake in the starting lineup. Miller was never given the chance to win the job or learn the job.

I still do not know why Nate hasn't used a Miller/Roy/Webster/LA/Oden lineup yet. With all of the combinations he's used, that's the one lineup I have yet to see.

 

[Uther TheGardener]

agreed thats why i want nate mcdumpin gone....

 

[Mediocre Man]

Roy getting back to his natural possition was the key, but Nlake should still not be starting.

On a side note, have the Blazers really only beaten 2 teams with a better than .500 record? Wow, I didn't realize that....and I am being sincere. I know they have had an easy schedule, but wow.

1-4 against teams above .500, 1-3 with Steve Blake starting at PG and Roy at SG.

Because being right is all that matters.

I just meant as their record stands now, not when we played them.
