    If Roy doesn't like Miller, I'm not sure how he would react to Nash.

    Nah, it's on my facebook page. One of my camera guys shot him. I just froze the image on my monitor in the TV truck and took a pic with my iPhone. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

    Nash holds the ball the WHOLE time and kicks to three point shooters. Roy wouldn't like being a spot up guy nor should he. Bad fit. Run and gun PG to play with slow down iso player like Roy in the same backcourt? Horrible idea.

    Since when the fuck is Miller a pass-first point guard??? Back in his Cleveland days, yes, but not now. That guy is always looking to score. He had back to back games of 10+ assists only once all season. He certainly wasn't thinking pass first when he scored 52 vs the Mavs.

    My opinion is that Roy would like Nash more than Miller - first, Nash is apparently a very open team-mate that socializes well with the locker room, 2nd - he is a much better target for passes from Roy when Roy is handling the ball and as such - will be like a super-duper Blake when Roy handles the ball, while he will be a better passer than Miller when he (Nash) handles the ball.

    The issue, imho, is not the ball handling, but the kind of offense that needs to be run when Roy/Miller are on the court and the fact that when Roy handles the ball with Miller on the court, the spacing is not as good for Roy to operate.

    Nash is definitely a superior shooter, and he has always excelled at running the pick and roll. I remember he ate us up with Dirk in.... 2002?

    That is indeed a pretty anemic looking bunch (and Childress has a broken index finger on his shooting hand to boot) but I'm sort of imagining this place on Wednesday if the Blazers don't blow the out of them water, not to mention lose. *shudders*
