I can certainly respect his loyalty for both the team and for Blake. Unofrtunately its that same kind of lotalty for Blake from our coaching staff that is killing this team.
That's fine, but in the games I've been fortunate enough to watch, Miller tends to set Greg up in the low post and Greg then goes to work. Miller does not get an assist for those. Maybe that's mostly play calling so it doesn't matter who is passing it down to him, but Miller is better at the post entry pass, imo, and when Miller was allowed to run the offense and call his own plays, that's the play he called, repeatedly. In my limited observation, Miller gets the ball to Oden where he can do something with it, even though he may not get an assist.
You know folks keep bringing up Oden. It's like in those war movies where somebody gets killed and some soldier is sitting their shocked and the sergeant screams "HE'S GONE MAN, HE's GONE" and tries to get the soldier back into action. The facts are, he's gone man. Lets move on.
Right. Getting to the FT line and getting the other team in foul trouble would be a really bad thing. Thank Wotan that Blake is saving us from that fate. We must play Blake to keep Roy happy and make him a better player. Starting Blake is the reason Roy always gets off to such fast starts and plays so well in the first quarter. Oh....wait..... Roy is a notoriously slow starter. He almost never plays well in the 1st quarter. So what exactly is Blake doing out there early in the game?
