The Miller hate in this Forum is

[BrianFromWA]

This board was 90% Miller love Blake hate . . . until Miller started.

Funny how that works.

Miller has 1 game of over 37 min. Blake? 8. Including one (yesterday) where he was "demoted" from the starting lineup.

You might have a case of "familiarity breeds contempt", but I'd surmise that it's really more "familiarity with sub-mediocrity breeds contempt when better options are languishing on the bench".

The blond chick comes out of me as I don't quite get your statement.

I was commenting on how the board has changed to Miller hate when he starts (according to the OP). I thought it was funny because I thought this board was all Miller love before he started.

So your statement is that because Blazer fans are familiar with sub-mediocrity they have contempt for Miller because he is languishing on the bench?

No one hates Miller. Blake gets 100x more heat. Miller's just not the right fit.

Miller's a passive-aggressive jerk. He can't be traded soon enough for me.

Miller's a super quiet, reclusive professional basketball player, any other conclusions are projecting. But really, if he was fitting in on the court he could drive through mud puddles to douse people on the sidewalk, kick stray cats, and park in handicapped spots and I wouldn't give two shits. This absurd notion that these guys have to be politicians and kiss babies and sing kum-bay-yah to be successful hoops players in Portland by some fans baffles me.

I like Miller for the most part. I'd keep him over Blake. But I would prefer if Miller had a better 3 ball.
