Team.

Player.

They've lost 8 straight. His outburst was warranted.

This kinda thing is nothing new for Dre. He called out Nate's stupidity here as well.

On a real note

Portland's offense is about the 3pt shot and spreading the floor. Terry Stotts loves him some floor spacing.

That leaves when Dre "Coach Killer" Miller enters the game. Teams would double off of him and he wouldn't be able to make them pay. That changes the offense in a way Terry Stotts would never want it to.

You HAVE watched Mo Williams, right?

You think Stotts prefers his point guard to dribble at the top of the key for 15-20 seconds before making a last second pass or jacking up a bad shot?

His play in December wasn't great, but he was just fine in November.

Yes, I'd rather stick with Mo.

His play hasn't been good at any point this season. His PER is flat out horrible.

There was a point at the beginning of the season where he was running the team better than Lillard. He played well in November.

About half his games in November were good, the other half were shitty. If he would play like "Good Mo" instead of "Shitty Mo," I would have no problem with him.
 
No thanks. Our offense is predicated on constant motion. Dre is too old.
 
Unless he gets enough minutes to make him happy then he is not helpful. Some vets like Earl are helpful just being on the bench, at practice, and in the locker room. Andre is a grumpy old man. (albeit one that can still play) LMA and Lopez would get more easy baskets.

I would base it on CJ. If they think CJ is ready to help at the 2, he and Andre might be a good tandem. But then again maybe CJ and Mo would fit even better?

Dre singlehandedly saved Nate's Job by giving stability to the team when we lost Roy.

On a REALLY real note...

What coach has Andre Miller ever gotten fired? If you're going to label him a coach "killer" please provide examples to support your accusation. It wasn't Andre Miller that FINALLY got Nate fired in Portland. It was his successor, Fatty Felton and his Voodoo Donuts fueled player mutiny that ran Nate out of town.

I think this would help in the regular season but hurt us in the playoffs. Playoff basketball slows down and defenses are tighter, they eliminate easy lobs and post ups. Court spacing is critical, you need to be able to stretch the court and have guards who can make open shots. The problem with Dre in the playoffs is teams give him the three and it bogs down the offense. If we could replace Watson with Dre I'd love to do it for a change of pace in the regular season.

But I'd rather keep Mo as our 6th man and veteran PG option.

It seems like we always have the same point of view on all things Blazers.

I've watched every single game and to me this is simply not true. I know Lillard needs a break but when they are both in the game I think Mo needs to be off ball.
Mo looks for his own shot way too much, shoots way early in the shot clock, and turns the ball over a lot.

There was definitely a point at the beginning of the season when Lillard was struggling and Mo would come in and the offense would pick up.

The Brooklyn game comes to mind. I'm sure there are a few others.

So why has he become such a huge detriment to the offense? He is shooting poorly, he turns the ball over, and he kills the offensive flow with excessive dribbling.

And hairy shoulders. Don't forget the hairy shoulders.

Because he's not playing well right now?

This is known.

Hahaha! Your name is "Wookie" and you're complaining about shoulder hair? :D

It's not long, silky, and luxurious shoulder hair like mine. It's creepy, sparse, curly, barely visible hair.

(shudder)
