    What the fuck are you talking about? What is the fucking question? Is it his question about Miller? I answered it. You're so presumptive.

    Don't be. Roy, Aldridge and Oden didn't even play in the second quarter. Miller (who has logged the most minutes of any players for the Portland side) has played most of his time without any of the big three, and given the lineups, Miller and Outlaw should be the first options. That is it. Should he watch the stat board as he playing and make sure he doesn't surpass Roy's shot attempts while Roy is sitting? No. He should just play the game and do what needs to be done based on the situation.

    When the minutes are normal....this won't seem like such a big issue. Our rotation will be trimmed down for the real season. Just wait.

    Of course, he's allowed but as a POINT GUARD, he shouldn't be leading us in attempts. He should be getting opportunities for his teammates. If he can't do that, then he won't start.

    So you want one of the best PGs in the NBA limiting himself?

    Tony Parker averages more shot attempts than Brandon Roy. Do you disagree with the way Parker plays?

    He's not playing with the Big 3 because Nate doesn't want a ball hog out there taking all the shots.

    Parker is one of the top 3 scoring options on his team. Andre Miller is not. Parker has to score for his team to win. We already have three great scores in LMA, Roy, and Oden. Miller has to stay out of their way and play his role. Facilitate and guard his man.

    I used to go to Nets games and sometimes Kidd wouldn't score at all to til the third quarter. I swore one night that he was going to finish with 0 points & 20 assists. That's the kind of unselfishness we need from Miller on a nightly basis. Look at Blake. 0-1, 4 assists, 0 turnovers. That's what we need out of our PGs on THIS team.

    Does that mean he will turn it on in the fourth quarter and hit a game winning shot?

    I don't expect him to have a + playing with Howard, Cunningham etc.

    Oden is a great scorer?

    What's his role with Rudy out, Webster 0-3, and Outlaw as likely to turn the ball over as to shoot?

    Miller should be playing with Oden as he himself has said he feeds the biggest guy on the team. He also led the NBA in alley-oops last year. Making him play with Joel and Outlaw is taking that away.

    Yes. On this team, we do not need him to be one of our primary scoring options.

    Outlaw and Rudy can catch alley-oop passes.

    Which is exactly why he should be playing with Joel and Daunte Cunningham, and Rudy. :ghoti:

    Blake starts . . . Miller gets more minutes.

    I think both of them can live with that formula.

    And RoyToy- what the fuck was up with asking that one stupid question and then posting several times that I wouldn't answer it. Am I suppose to immediately answer any question that is asked on this forum. Give me a fucking chance and get over yourself.
