Wow, it's the Andre Miller Show! Why resign Aldridge or Roy when the Blazers have Miller to dominate the offense?
They aren't a playoff team this year, and they were not last year. Hey, at least Andre Miller is dominating the ball!
Brandon Roy..any day now bud...time to show up..I know its preseason but ave 9ppg..really?! Really starting to believe we are going to have a hornets type let down season..ugh
Clearly Brian Schonely is a Jinx. Lamar Aldridge and the Blazers were doing so well until he started talking.
Should not have signed the introverted ballhog Miller. Things will get worse from here. Miller has won jack shit in his career, and no team keeps him after his contract is up.
Aldridge - 18 points off 8-16 shooting, 6 boards, 3 assists Oden - 17 points off 8-10 shooting, 13 boards, 3 blocked shots. Andre - 25 points off 9-15 shooting, 6 assists, 5 boards Yeah....... it's all Miller. Blame the loss on him. The guy was on fire. He shot a great percentage, and he still had a solid all-around game.
You know, there's two ways of looking this (damn, Nash with a miss at the FT line?) -- Miller's dominating because Roy is stinking it up, or Miller's dominating which is making Roy stink it up the court. I really think it's the former; against LAC and here against PHX, he hasn't "turned it on" until we drop down by double-digits. That he's a one-man running game is pretty cool, too. If anyone bothers to get up the court before him, they'll probably profit.
Miller took 5 more shots than the 80% shooter Oden, plus Miller's offense came as he was bing torched on defense.
So basically if take care of the ball against the defensive juggernut that is the Phoenix Suns and Roy shows up we win this game.
