    Should we change the starting line up going into the these next three games or do we keep things the same? Roy is playing at a pretty high level now and it seems he can compete even with his bad knees, so why not start him?
    Or do you think this would mess up the chemistry of what we have going for us with him off the bench? So what are your thoughts?

    He has had 2 games back to back and this last one WOW! a week ago we were all thinking waivers,with good reason,last night he single handedly took control of the game and cattle proded the blazers into playing basketball. After last night i would say it is his if he wants it and I would think that it wouldn't be contested much.

     There is not 3 games, there are only 2 games. In-less you want Dalles to win one. I know I don't

    No I don't want it to go 7, but if it does go 7, I would want Roy to be a starter in all of them.

    I think because Roy probably still needs to have his minutes monitored a bit he shouldn't be starting.  Let him close out quarters like usual.  Maybe give him the latter half of the third quarter to really establish his rhythm and allow him to operate in the fourth.  He will attract so much attention from Dallas in a final quarter it's going to seriously open up other players.  I wonder if people realize that we didn't just win a ridiculous comeback on Saturday but we effectively sent Dallas back to the drawing board on their fourth quarter defensive plans.  I'm curious to see how they'll respond in game 5.  It feels like they're gonna' completely fold or come out firing on all cylinders.

    after poor perfomance in first 2 games in Dallas I would try to play with Roy in starting 5, I think that this move can bring him more confidence and for BLAZERS third win in a row and then back to Rose Garden and ...

    Cmeese, you want to trade Aldridge too? Seems like you only care that the championships are under the Blazer name, and you''re willing to throw anyone under the bus to get it.

    I would agree LMA is a decent defender but his help defense and team defense needs a lot of work. It is in these areas that Bosh really separates himself from LMA and it is because of that he is a better player than LMA despite not putting the sam...

    Splitter would fill our needs the best. Pekovic isn''t great defensively but a solid rebound and a muscle man who would do decent. Al Jefferson is a less polished LMA with not as good defence and his rebounding is decreasing.

    Started by cmeese47 on 05/24/13 at 12:38 PM

    I was looking at some shooting stats and came across a very very alarming stat. LMA was the league leader in FGA from 16-23 feet. Not only was he the leader he was lead by a mile. His 7.3 attempts from this distance easily outpaced Demar Derozan w...

    Sug I would start with him outscoring Wesley Matthews. He also needs to get his FTA up and his FG% up and cut down the turnovers. 


    His defense was decent last year but not that good as he is either too weak or just unwil...

    why is everyone high on Shabazz.  He can''t shoot and he thinks he''s the next best thing to Lebron.  His attitude is not positive.
