Patty Mills, it's your time to shine!

BTW, Good job with the interview HCP.
 
It'll be interesting to see how our offense looks without Miller for an entire game.
 
I don't even remember this? Anyone have a recap of what Miller did or even better, video?

What a crappy way for his streak to end!
 
Are they seriously going to break his streak over some random, miniscule thing like this?

Come on, Stern.
 
Oh good God.

Patty Mills will start? Come to think of it, I would rather see Rudy or Nic there.

Uh, yeah. Hey Patty, go get Steve Nash. He's only coming off a game where he went 20 points, 17 assist while going 8/8 from the floor. Rough spot to lose Dre for a night.
 
I would hope that between Roy, Wes, and Batum we can handle bringing the ball up against Steve Nash's "defense". No need to start Patty Cakes.
 
Actually, I change my stance. I can live with Patty starting. I think he can play well against Nash because he's quick and can shoot. His height won't be as big a detriment as it could be against others.
 
I'm more concerned on the defensive side of the ball. Trying to stay with Nash.

I don't think "brining the ball up" is the concern.

Ya, that's what I was thinking with the Nic/Rudy thing. But our offense looks like absolute shit with Roy running it.

We couldn't really handle Nash all that well WITH Dre, so I don't think it would make much of a difference to stick Patty on him.
 
So, I was there last night, and I just remembered what this was. It was away from the ball, Miller was coming off a screen or something and just gave Blake Griffin a huge push. Nobody saw it and Griffin was upset. It certainly doesn't seem like something that should have gotten him suspended at all.

If only someone on this board had access to Blazer video. (Not finding it on youtube either).
 
this really sucks cause we need a win badly vs suns. they are the team we are fighting with for the 8th seed and are up 2 games already

What is "the concern"? I'm guessing you're talking about defense....in which case I would feel much better about Batum guarding Nash then Mills.
 
The play before, Griffin was roughing up Miller too. Good for Andre putting him on his ass.
 
Yeah, you see Blake give Miller a hard shove right in the back. Apparently Miller didn't appreciate that very much. Certainly can't blame the league for suspending him though. Griiffen was rough, Miller was out of control.
 
I don't know about you folks, but I for one, am just happy somebody on this team finally started showing some fight. So Miller got suspended. At least he had the gnards to stand up and start fighting rather than get pushed around at home.
 
1) I already HATE Stu Jackson and David Stern.

2) What a CRAPPY way to end the streak.

3) Has any other NBA player ever ended a long playing streak due to suspension?

4) To barely beat the crappy Clippers on our own court, we had to play psyched up to avoid humiliation, get 2 of our players suspended, and get one of theirs injured. Cancel the season, we won't win any more games.

That's correct. You can throw Batum or Matthews on Nash if you want. Does that mean Mills (or Johnson) slides over to J-Rich? Not to mention that Batum or Matthews can only chase Nash around for so many minutes. Dude never stops running.

Miller Out = Bigtime matchup problem vs Phoenix. Dre might not be a defensive stopper, but he's cagey enough to not get abused silly.
