Just remember that Jordan didn't win anything until he put trust in his team mates and involved them more. Same with Kobe.
Okay, so does the coach need to adjust for Miller or does Miller need to adjust for the coach? If Roy is better at half-court and Miller is better at full-court but everyone is bitching at Nate because he doesn't play them together, then which speed do we utilize? I'm not positive that is correct. I think one thing that was brought up by another poster is that Miller doesn't command respect for his outside shot. If you can sag off of Miller and help out on D it makes it awfully hard to drive the lane. Then when you have Oden in there you have a lot of weight sitting in the middle. Say what you want about ISO plays (I know I get tired of them), but it's part of our game plan. And unless you have the daggers on the outside to get the job done, you'll have a hard time driving and scoring.
??? How would you define "the moment" that Jordan put trust in his teammates? When Pippen was drafted? That merely gave him a secondary scorer to take some of the burden off. My point was that Jordan wasn't asked to adjust his game to the whims of Steve Kerr. Mr. Kerr was asked to adjust his game to the needs of Mr. Jordan. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Miller is a ball-hog necessarily, but I don't think you can just point at Roy and go "he needs to adjust, get over it." Sometimes, as much as we'd like them to, things just don't work when put together.
Clearly the "blame game" consensus has found this season's scapegoat. It's kind of nice that it isn't a player, I'll admit.
So you are comparing the quality of "Steve Kerr" to "Andre Miller"? How about Jordan adjusting his game for players like "Dennis Rodman" or "Toni Kucoch"
I can't wait till late Nov. when the Nate Effigy doll comes out. I think I could make a fortune selling those on here.
LMAO! Absolutely not. I am using Roy as being like Jordan. And Miller being more like Rodman or Kukoch. Not superstars, but very good impact role players.
