    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Miller logged 25 minutes. He might not play much more when the regular season begins.

    Miller, 30, reported to camp overweight. That has not gone over well with Karl, especially in view of his more up-tempo offense.

    "I don't think he's in the best of shape," Karl said. " . . . He fatigues quicker than (before). . . . Andre is at the stage of his career where he's going to have to spend more time on conditioning. . . . I think he'll be ready to play 30 minutes (to start the season). I don't know if he'll be ready to play 40."

    Miller said he lifted weights and played basketball during the offseason but didn't do enough conditioning. That became evident when he returned to Denver in mid-September.

    "I gained a little bit of weight," said Miller, who is listed at 200 pounds and, while not revealing his weight, said he must lose 10 to 15 pounds. "When you're playing at a high level, you can't (have) extra baggage." </div>

    Ehhhh. I never liked Andre Miller anyway. This really effects our fast break game, We scored the most fast break points in the league last season. Miller was a huge reason for that. If he gets tired we will have trouble running the break as effective.

    So he's like 220 lbs, Miller needs to get things going and stop screwing around.
