Uh, oh. Andre Miller not happy

[RoyIsClutch07]

I'm not sure that really matters at this point. He shot the ball 11 times in 25 minutes last night, and he's basically a mid-level aging PG.

I think a scapegoat has been discovered in this thread.

One thing about it, he is not distributing as much as I thought he would.

This is ridiculous. 3 preseason games into the year and we have a 90 million dollar superstar whining about not finding his little niche and a newly acquired vet who should be doing his best to make a good first impression whining about playing time and starting. Time for someone to sit these whiny bastards down tell them how it's gonna be.

Do you really feel BRoy needs that?

How many games have you watched?

I don't have to, look at his assists.

 

[RoyToy]

I don't have to, look at his assists.

It doesn't really work like that. Assists don't tell the whole story.

I do know one thing, and it's been said by Quick/people that have seen the games, that Andre Miller is consistently feeding Greg Oden the ball. Alley-oops, in the post, etc.

Sounds good to me.

That's a good thing. But if you look at the tally of shot's he is putting up compared to the total amount assists, he is not distributing at the rate I thought he would.

 

[RoyToy]

Players could be missing shots. We don't know, we haven't seen the games. But when you consider the Blazers shot under 40% last night I'd say that could be one reason why.

It's also pre-season. I'd wait until the regular season starts before getting too worried.

OK, I'll volunteer. You, the whiny vet who has never won 54 games in a season, shut the eff up. You, the All-Star just signed to a max extension, tell me what the problem is right now.

Be da deet be da deet WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Andre Miller wants to start! Stayed tuned for more "breaking" news.

Be da deet be da deet HE WOULDN'T HAVE SIGNED WITH PORTLAND HAD HE KNOWN HE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO COMPETE FOR PLAYING TIME.

 

[NJNetz]

I love how some of you are against Miller right now. Last season, there were countless times many of you were complaining about Blake being your starting point guard. And now it's different?

I'm surprised Nate is dumb enough to have Miller come off the bench.

Repped.

 

[Natebishop3]

Completely false. In fact, I said he was the best off-season aquisition this team could make.

Tell more lies, Nate. At least drag up my posts criticizing his signing after inking his deal.

You are a liar.

LOL are you serious?

Okay, after dinner I'll go look up all your posts bitching about how he showed up late to the pre-camp workouts. I'll also find the posts about how he failed to pass Nate's physical challenge. And if memory serves me correctly, I'll find one about how Miller and Roy haven't talked.... blah blah blah.

Victim.

I love how your vague criticism is so vague. I never complained about Blake last year. I never complained about Miller untiil he started crying to the media.

Great. Look up these posts I never made. Feel better now that you have a red herring scapegoat?

I don't believe I mentioned any names in my post, or did I?

Another antisocial media-avoiding loner was Arvydas Sabonis. He just went home after games, instead of going out with his teammates for wine, women, and song. As soon as Bob Whitsitt left, Sabonis went back to Russia. Shouldn't surprise, since Whitsitt's persuasion was the only reason he finally came here in the first place. Heavens to Betsy, I'm talking about Bob Whitsitt ! Excuse me!

 

[PapaG]

It's my fault that Andre Miller is complaining to Yahoo! Sports about having to compete for playing time on a 54-win team. Blame me!

 

[jlprk]

You know, I've heard of this guy Mixum, but this is the first time I've seen him really work a thread with economical little posts. I like his style.

Mixum, if you would like to take my course in stirring the pot, I have a nice starter package available for $895. Just call my 800 number and have your credit card ready. This is the "no money down" version. If you're a homeowner and know how to sign your name, I can make you an expert troublemaker a lot faster.

This is the thousandth time I've seen PapaG's cowboy quick temper. I've always pictured him at a poker game in a saloon, with 6-shooter on his lap, ready to call someone a liar. I paid the stable and have my horse outside so I can make my getaway. Papa, want to cut the cards?

...And did you ever run for that local political office you were considering? What was it again? Imagine, you, a politician telling them what they want to hear.

He said "some" people are complaining about Miller and that "many" complained about Steve being the starting point guard last year ... he never mentioned you by name and wasn't vague at all. "Some" people are complaining about Miller right now and "many" complained about Steve last year.

 

[PapaG]

I don't believe I mentioned any names in my post, or did I?

So, who were you criticizing in your vague criticism? Tha random "scapegoat" that NateBishop is chasing?

Great. Who are those people. Let's call them to the carpet right now, since Vinyard's post seems to be hitting a source of truth for many of you.

They very well know who they are. From the looks of things you might be one of them; either that, or you're just really insecure.

OHMAGOD GET OFF MILLERS NUTS PLEASE

Call them to the carpet? Who fucking cares who the people are, I certainly don't; people are entitled to feel however they do and to express that here however they like ...

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

everyone calm down.....miller is better than blake, and will start.

I don't think that for McMillan this is about who is the better player. It's about who fits better with starting unit and who fits better with 2nd unit. He has hinted many time that is what he is looking at. He has also hinted that the guy (Miller) who plays with the 2nd unit might finish the games and play more minutes. My question is, why isn't Miller focusing on this; in other words why isn't he focusing on what would help the team instead of focusing on who will be the starter?

Here's a hint: He posted those under my screen name.

In other words, your post was directed to a Strawman.

Nice contribution.
