|
| |  | PORTLAND: GUARDS: DAMIAN LILLARD might be the most complete offensive point guard in the NBA. He's a legitimately great shooter, and quick enough off the dribble to get wherever he wants inside the paint . . . WESLEY MATTHEWS runs, runs and runs off the ball as a spot-up shooter . . . STEVE BLAKE is most likely to absorb Mo Williams' old sixth-man role. He can take some ball-handling duties, but at this point his value is as a spot-up shooter . . . He had his rookie season erased by injuries, and it's a crowded rotation, but C.J. McCOLLUM might be able to shoot his way into significant minutes . . . WILL BARTON is a practice player unless he develops a three-point shot . . . ALLEN CRABBE will likely bounce between Portland and the D-League again. FORWARDS: LaMARCUS ALDRIDGE's combination of length and mid-range shooting makes him virtually unguardable when he's on . . . NICOLAS BATUM often runs the offense with Lillard working off the ball. Batum can shoot, too. There's no real weakness in his game . . . He tore a thumb ligament during Summer League play, but THOMAS ROBINSON is already back on the court. He's a hustle guy off the bench, but has a limited offensive game and can't defend bigger 4's . . . DORELL WRIGHT will likely bounce in and out of the rotation again due to his streaky shooting . . . JOEL FREELAND's skill set is limited, but he can play the 4 and the 5 . . . VICTOR CLAVER will try to work his way back into the rotation as a defensive specialist. CENTERS: ROBIN LOPEZ proved a perfect complement to Aldridge, and should handle the bulk of the minutes at center again . . . CHRIS KAMAN gives Portland s a more offensive-minded option off the bench . . . It will be another developmental season for MEYERS LEONARD | | SAN ANTONIO: GUARDS: TONY PARKER may not be ageless, as he'll sit a handful of games during the regular season. But when the 32-year-old is on the court, he still gets into the lane whenever he wants . . . He can't do anything off the dribble, but DANNY GREEN is one of the league's elite spot-up shooters . . . MANU GINOBILI will need some regular-season maintenance as far as playing time goes, especially coming off a stress fracture in his leg. He's essential for the postseason . . . MARCO BELINELLI will have a significant role off the bench due to his ability to defend, shoot and do some ball-handling . . . It might be a lost regular season for NBA Finals star PATTY MILLS as he works his way back from shoulder surgery. He hopes to make his season debut in mid-January . . . CORY JOSEPH will pick up a few more minutes while Mills is out. FORWARDS: There's plenty of buzz surrounding KAWHI LEONARD after his Finals MVP performance, though it seems unlikely they'll make him the centerpiece of this offense as long as their vets are still going strong . . . Thirty-eight-year-old TIM DUNCAN is still one of the better power forwards in the league. Just like Parker and Ginobili, he'll take the occasional DNP-CD. His rebounding and shot-blocking rates continue to surge. The only real disappointment last season was that his FT shooting slid back towards his sub-70% career mark . . . JEFF AYRES is one of the new anonymous big men at the end of the San Antonio bench. He'll see a handful of starts when Gregg Popovich rests his star players . . . KYLE ANDERSON is too much of a defensive liability to see major minutes as a rookie, but his versatile skill set suggests he could be Boris Diaw's heir apparent . . . MATT BONNER will hoist some threes during the regular season. CENTERS: Popovich rotates his centers depending on the situation. TIAGO SPLITTER, the more traditional 5, will likely take the bulk of the minutes again . . . BORIS DIAW will play when the offense gets stagnant, especially when opponents go small. |

*Trail Blazers-Spurs Preview* =============================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Portland (20-6) at San Antonio (17-9), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The Portland Trail Blazers may have defeated the San Antonio Spurs earlier this week, but Robin Lopez was lost in the process.
Thomas Robinson looks to pick up the slack again Friday night when the Northwest Division-leading Trail Blazers return to San Antonio for the first time since being ousted in last season's playoffs.
Portland (20-6) was eliminated in five games by the Spurs in the second round and was outscored by an average of 19.5 points in those defeats, falling 104-82 in the decisive game at AT&T Center.
The Trail Blazers opened this season's series with a 108-95 victory Monday, though any celebration was muted since Lopez left in the third quarter with a broken right hand. The starting center later revealed on his official Twitter account that he's out for six to seven weeks.
So far, Robinson has softened the blow, scoring 15 points with 16 rebounds in his first career start to spur Wednesday's 104-97 win over Milwaukee. He had seven points and three boards against San Antonio after appearing in one of the previous 12 games - a 2-minute, 46-second stint.
"I was just happy to see him get that opportunity because I know how hard he works and how positive he is, being that he hasn't played a lot this year," guard Damian Lillard said.
Lillard is averaging 26.3 points while sinking half of his 24 3-pointers over the past four games. He connected on 4 of 7 from beyond the arc while scoring 29 against the Bucks after finishing with 23 points and a career-high 10 rebounds versus San Antonio (17-9).
Lillard scored 19.8 points per game against the Spurs in the playoffs but missed 19 of 23 from long range.
San Antonio has dropped four of six, losing 117-116 in triple overtime to Memphis on Wednesday after Manu Ginobili shot an airball in the final seconds.
"We fought hard," guard Danny Green said. "We were down 20 for most of the first half; came back. They went on another run in the third quarter; came back. We showed a lot of character. It's going to take awhile for us to recover from this, but we've bounced back from tougher situations."
Green is looking to build on a season-high 25 points, while Kawhi Leonard will reportedly miss his second straight game with a bruised right hand after having 21 points and nine rebounds at Portland.
Tony Parker could be out for the seventh time in eight games with a nagging hamstring injury, increasing Ginobili's playing time.
The 37-year-old guard had 21 points, eight assists and eight rebounds against the Grizzlies after a back injury forced him to sit out Monday.
The injuries feed into coach Gregg Popovich's reputation for playing it safe and resting his aging stars in the hopes of having them prepared for the playoffs - a strategy that led to an NBA title last season.
He's used 14 starting lineups this season, tying New York for the most in the league. San Antonio used eight combinations after 26 games last season, finishing with 30.
"Regardless who's on the floor, we gotta bring it," Green said. "We gotta continue to win games. We put ourselves in a little hole here. We know what it takes. We trust one through 15 to get it done, and guys have to step up."
San Antonio is 46-16 since its last three-game skid from Jan. 26-29.
