More on Miller

Hopefully this hasn't already been posted. Hopefully it will shut up those who don't think Miller will benefit this team.

Thanks. Those are great quotes. I would love it if Miller turns out to be everything we need at point guard. Now if Roy can just get his act together . . .

 

It's just going to take time to develop some chemistry and to really get the flow going, my feeling is that by the middle of November all this angst about Miller and his "fit" are going to be long distant memories and the biggest worry we'll have is that he's 33 and probably only has a couple of really productive years in the league.

 

Watching Miller last night it was clear he is a huge upgrade at PG. He's clearly overweight, but he's the best skilled PG we've had since Rod Strickland. Time will tell how well he fits in with the big three. Because no matter how much of an upgrade he is, he still needs to defer to Brandon and LaMarcus and Greg. For two quarters I felt he was doing too much on his own. But when Brandon and Greg were in, he fit in just fine.

 

Billups and Karl have no fundamental grasp of the game of basketball so their opinions are inadequate.

 

Yeah what he said.

 

All this "angst" is two trolls who look for a cloud to every silver lining. I'm putting them both back on ignore, so I can start enjoying this forum again. I recommend others do the same.

BNM

 

Miller is the man! I enjoyed watching him last night. He will give us that 15-20 a game when Roy is not firing on all cylinders.

 

It'd get awfully quiet around here if people stuck to this rule ...

 

Nice quotes by Karl and Billups, but what exactly would you expect them to day? That Miller will be a negative for the team they are competing with for the NW division title? Or perhaps they would say that Miller is a selfish loner, and they can't understand why KP would sign him?

Shoot less, pass more. That's what I expect from Miller as the season progresses. I'll judge him by what I hear on the radio and see on the court, not by what opponents in the same division say about him. If he'll simply look to pass first, he should be the starter. I have no problem saying this, as he clearly is a more talented player than Steve Blake.

 

Maybe Karl, but Billups? I have to disagree with you there. I think Billups is a very fundamental PG.

 

"Shoot less, pass more. That's what I expect from Miller..."

Some people are complaining about Miller taking too many shots. It's my observation that he is taking shots when the team needs a boost, and he is taking shots late in the shot clock.

 

Also, why call Miller a moron? That's just not nice.

 

I was practicing the art of Sarcasm.

 

Dayum I gotta figure that one out. I think I was bunked twice so far in this forum. Guess I gotta figure you guys out. hehe

 

Well said.

 

Good luck with that. They have an amazing power to draw criticism from the most relaxed individuals. Dipwits are like kryptonite to the most rational people.

 

Chauncey hasn't ever lead a team to a championship or anything like that...George Karl hasn't been around for that long either...Its pretty clear the average NBA fan knows much more about player talent than these two...

 

Oops.
