    Do you understand the difference between causation and correlation?

    You criticized Miller with some specific stats and criticisms, and now you seem to be hiding from the fact that the two guys you were lauding had very similar stats.

    Miller "not passing the ball" is not the reason Portland has one offensive rebound and Gasol has a near-triple double in the first half.

    So that means Armon is outplaying Andre? He is only -6?

    is there any chance we could have a moratorium on the shit stirring shtick that goes on here?

    Questioning Roy's leadership here.

    A star would not let his team look this bad while coasting himself.

    Our team just isn't gelling right now and the L*kers are really playing focused basketball. No big deal. We'll figure it out, perhaps not tonight, but later in the year.

    Roy is accepting his role. God knows if he means it. Meanwhile, Andre Miller as the leading scorer isn't going to win a fucking game most nights, let alone a playoff series.

    Now, ignore me. I'm calling your bluff, since I don't think you know shit about hoops.

    I'm pretty sure Ehlo, KS, and BGF are all being serious and think they're being reasonable.

    You'd like to think people that are calling this team horrible are kidding. Or at least have serious memory loss, because we've sat through some horrible seasons recently.

    Miller HAS passed the ball and his fell starters are 6 of 23 from the field. He's only taken 8 and has made half of them. You are dead wrong.

    I brought this point up against OKC.

    Team was struggling on offense and Roy kept on deferring, deferring, deferring. At this point anytime a defender gets in Roy's face he folds and passes it right away.

    Depends. If defending our 3-time All-Star is "shit-stirring", then I will stir shit all night. It's amazing how quickly you "fans" turn on a player.

    I've heard this before. Oh yea, I've heard it every year under Nate.

    Nate isn't suddenly going to do anything new. Cho is this team's only real hope IMHO.

    And yet we've won 50+ games the past two years, even given all of our injuries.

    Your mother's side dish, why? The Roy of old is gone, he doesn't even show interest in the game. It's atrocious. He's asleep out there.
