I thought Roy couldn't play alongside Miller.

And yet Roy had 37 on 12-16 FG shooting tonight.

I was lied to.

That alley oop at the end was glorious.

They can play together, just not with 'Dre playing the primary distributor. It can still work but our offense over the long haul and especially in a series will not be as effective. It's the best we have and could get though so ...

12-16

fixed, thanks

weren't you one of the people who was convinced that he couldn'[t play along side Miller, and that Blake farts pure gold?

Oh, but didn't you read what he said? "He was lied to"

Noticed something interesting tonight - especially interesting in the closing minutes: it was Miller who was bringing the ball up the court (with some picks set to free Roy to come get the ball) rather than the traditional, Roy bringing the ball up the court every time up.

Miller successfully was getting the ball in Roy's hands -

This is a sign of the two of these guys "working together" PG with 2G - as it should be.

When Roy brings the ball up by himself (each and every time) the opposing team knows exactly what will be happening, the 24 second clock is consumed, and it winds up with Roy going one on one and attempting a shot or dishing.

With Miller bringing up the ball, more opportunities exist. While Roy gets the first touch - when overplayed, Miller can hit Roy back-door (as we saw tonight!) or Miller can penetrate, shoot or dish (and dish to a variety of players - which includes Roy)!


So I found this to be an interesting development - that started tonight. And I liked what I saw.

Webster was involved, Roy was involved, Howard was involved...and Miller was involved. (Cunningham and/or Pendergraph were not necessarily "involved" but were pounding the boards).

Nice!


Miller can play with Roy, when Miller runs the show!

I tried to tell you but you wouldn't believe me.

 

[Crimson the Cat]

When teams sag off Miller though and dare him to shoot from distance, and this will happen, Portland's offense will suffer. That's what concerns me.

It was all a misunderstanding, Roy moved to the other side.

You couldn't see through your Blake blinders. And right now you're having another knee-jerk reaction by saying Pendergraph is as good as Aldridge, and that Patty Mills is a sure thing. Don't say nobody told you the opposite was a possibility.

Miller has a good enough shot to keep defenses honest.

12-16 FG is insane!

When? They already have been sagging off him. His FG% .406 is half a point below his career average (.458) He gets wide open shots from the baseline, from the elbow, from 3 point range and he'll shoot couple - sometimes he'll knock them down to everyone's surprise. His range seems to be about 16 ft'. They guy does shoot 80+% from the FT line.

9 of his last 10, if I'm not mistaken.

I admit that I couldn't see through my Blake blinders. But I never said Pendergraph was as good as Aldridge. I just asked the question. As for Patty Mills, he definitely is a sure thing. One great game in the NBDL proves everything.

lol.. I know you joke around with some of your arguments.. like you finally admitted after the whole Jarrett Jack/Devin Harris thing. It's hard to tell sometimes when you're joking or not, but I know you're full of it here.

It was tongue in cheek, as are a lot of my posts and instead of laughing (like you did, thank you), some people decide to attack me personally as if anything that is posted here has anything to do with who we are as real people in the real world. Let's have fun in here. There is never any reason to get angry over what someone posts in a public forum about basketball.

Surprising to see you say when you're always trying to provoke people on here.
