    Although, if Miller is going to be a part of the 2nd unit, which he should be, I guess I don't mind him firing up shots if Rudy isn't available.

    Outlaw and Miller should be taking the shots on this second unit right now, so I am being to hard on Miller tonight.

    He truly is in regular season form, making dumb plays and allowing his man to torch us.

    Apparently this poster thinks that your opinion is that Miller shouldn't be allowed to shoot.

    It's a strawman argument and not at all what you said, but whatever. He's stuck on it, so amuse him.

    Outlaw is only -3 so far tonight.

    Miller and Bayless are embarrassing themselves, however.

    I was just about to point this out, so I'm glad you caught that. Miller didn't attempt a shot when he was briefly in with the starters, and when he's playing with our bench players minus Rudy, he's both the sole playmaker and the #1 option on offense.

    I don't expect to see a line-up with only 1 out of Andre/Roy/LA/Oden (and maybe Rudy) on the floor barring injuries.

    He's also leading in minutes (14)... maybe that's why? He's averaging a shot every two minutes... that's every 2 or 3 possessions. Also, Webster's 0-3. Miller's definitely the offensive focus for the 2nd group.

    Because we have enough offensive weapons on this team. We need him to facilitate and make the players around him better. Sure, he can shoot but he shouldn't be leading us in FG attempts. That is ridiculous. And that is why he won't start. Blake will. Blake knew his role in the first quarter. Get the ball to Roy, LMA, and Oden and let them do their thing. Batum knows this too. And that is why they will start. Maybe Miller thinks he needs to score a bunch to get moved into the starting lineup. That's not the way it will get done though. He should be focused on getting easy baskets for Joel, Travis, Juwan, and eventually, Rudy. If he plays with any of the Big 3, he shouldn't look to shoot at all. Just get them the ball.

    It is likely you will always be waiting. Or at the most you'll get a random "Learn the game, then post. CHECKMATE!" after he throws his obvious answer of "BECAUSE OUTLAW IS 3-3 HE SHOULD BE SHOOTING MORE" at you.
