Miller not happy (maybe he knows his days are numbered)

[BlayZa]

epic roy mancrush u got there

 

[Minstrel]

I just hate that imo Miller came in here and didn't respect that this way Roy's team. It seems like he came here and thought this young team needed a guy to run the show for them. Not the case.

So you hate Miller due to your pop-psychology theories. Okay.

The problem is, Patty isn't a PG. He's a sub-miniature SG.

But yet he seems to get steals? I thought point guards steal.

We try to get a more structured offense in the fourth, and start controlling our pace. The guys for some reason get more stagnant, and don't cut as much as they do earlier in the game (Patty had an awesome cut yesterday). Anyway, with little movement off the ball, Dre kills our spacing. I'm totally fine with Patty running point at the time.

If anything, I'd actually support a Rudy @ PG lineup, with Wes, Nic, LA, and Camby to finish out games.

But yet he seems to get steals? I thought point guards steal.

He may SEEM to get a lot of steals, but Andre Miller has a higher STL% (2.9 vs. 2.5) and gets more steals/36 (1.9 vs. 1.7). Mills also gets fewer assists (29.3 vs. 37.6 AST%) and turns the ball over more (20.2 vs. 17.6 TOV%).

I know Patty is everyone's flavor of the month in our never ending search for PGOTF, but he's not REALLY a PG. I'm pleased with his scoring off the bench, but the only thing he does better than Miller at this point is shoot 3-pointers. Miller actually has the edge in FG% (0.450 vs. 0.427) and TS% (0.525 vs. 0.522), and of course, PER (19.0 vs. 12.7).

Patty Mills is fine as a spark plug off the bench, but if he ever becomes our starting PG, we're in big trouble.

I don't see how this is relevant?

who the hell cares...

GET DEVIN HARRIS

 

[MARIS61]

I just hate that imo Miller came in here and didn't respect that this way Roy's team. It seems like he came here and thought this young team needed a guy to run the show for them. Not the case. This team already had a great player to do that. Miller would have none of it and he pouted when he was put on the bench.

People try to act like Roy is the main reason they never got along but imo the problem has been more Miller than Roy. Miller couldn't accept his role from day 1 as a Blazer and now here he is again not accepting his role. I don't like it.

Truth is this has never been Roy's team.

Oh sure, Nate said it was and Roy talks about it like it's a prized possession of his, but nobody on this team except Steve Blake ever embraced Roy as their leader or made any attempt to change their style to fit with his "give me the ball and wait" iso's. Every time he has been out of action over the years the team has been visibly happier on the court and there has never been any drop in success.

I think we'd have been blown out by Miami had (a healthy) Roy played.

 

[MARIS61]

Harris is not a piece of this puzzle.

Miller revealed a mix of displeasure and acceptance Sunday night after the game. He praised Mills' play against the Heat and during the recent stretch and said he was "cool" with the situation. However, Miller also said he wanted to play more in crunch time and said he was offered no explanation for his limited playing time Sunday night.

"Man, there's no explanation for nothing around here," Miller said. "I can't play the whole fourth quarter the whole season. (But) ... that was a good game, so I'm not going to dwell on me."

Ya, lot of reasons to jump on Miller for that. Wanting to play in crunch time how dare he!

 

[Minstrel]

Harris is not a piece of this puzzle.

Who would you like the Blazers to target?

Or do you feel that the team can't be improved by players from other franchises?

 

[BlayZa]

isnt harris a key piece in the denver trade? i doubt we get a look in until whatever happens there happens

 

[MIXUM]

Chris brousard says don't expect Denver deal till the deadline date which means we would need to be part of melo trade to get Harris.

Hoop Family steals. Canzano says so.

 

[jlprk]

Miller is a terrible person for complaining about his role. It's time for the whole city to turn on him.

Are you the CEO of Lynch Mobs Inc.?

I don't know? I guess that's true for some, if not many, but I am a season ticket holder...(even though I live in Houston now) and I would like to see something possitive for the future. It literally could be just me though?

How does it feel, wasting money on a Blazer season ticket when you live in Houston?
