    I'm with PapaG. Yes, it's just preseason and no, I don't watch preseason games, but our POINT GUARD has NO BUSINESS taking 18 shots in a game. As I said in another thread, that is fucking ridiculous. Why the fuck is he shooting the ball? His sole goal should be to get his teammates going. To make everyone else look good. I know, I know, it's just preseason, but someone better pull him aside before the season starts and let him know he shouldn't be shooting the fucking ball. I would prefer 8 points & 10 assists than 15 points & 5 assists.

    That is ludicrous. WHO is allowing that to happen? He should have 26 more assists than everyone else.

    Because KP will trade him before then? That would make me feel grateful, and wiser than KP, not foolish.

    If it's a matter of this happening at full strength in the regular season, I think it'll be an issue. As it is, go back and take a look at Miller's shot count when Roy, LMA or Oden is in the game. I think you'll find that (esp. due to the weird lineups caused by injuries) Miller's generally "gunning" (actually, taking it to the hoop and attempting to draw fouls) only when the jump-shooting lineup he's with isn't hitting. :dunno: I don't think Miller's stealing Roy's shots, or LMA's, or Oden's.

    That said, if the season starts and he is doing that, I'll happily join you in the WTF Andre?!?! Crusade. But I don't think that's going to be an issue when the team's at full strength and Miller's playing with someone who's a better option on offense than he is.
