    Did it really take Nate 5 games to figure out Miller is by far and away our best PG? I mean watching Miller play reminds me of what real PGs look like. Its like even Aldridge looks more complete. Oden is FINALLY playing better on offense. Anyway, watching the game... i still cannot believe it took 5 games for Nate to figure that out. Its very alarming.

    Also I don't what to think about Roy. Hes doing and saying all the right things but having hm score 2 points is just not right. I almost get the feeling that he does not wanna see Miller succeed.

    As far as Rudy goes... someone needs to tell these fucking spaniards to shut up. Amzaingly Rudys stat lines in Euro aren't even that great yet he expects to get starters minutes here. How about he make a few 3's or less stupid plays before he complains??? He is following sergios little path right out the door. btw.. i wonder if Rudy knows how tahts working out for sergio?

    Any competent PG would be able to get Roy the ball and help him succeed. Miller has failed this simple task.

    In fact, I can only assume Miller's refusal to acknowledge Roy's presence most of the time is deliberate and born of jealousy.

    Sergio + Roy for Miller is a grossly lopsided trade, and a real team-killer.

    Yes! How dare Roy lead the team in assists and get more rebounds than Oden when he should have been looking to score the ball on a night when we didn't need him to.

    That bastard!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I agree. Giving up Rodriguez for Miller was already a historic fleecing, but that throw-in of Roy could come back to bite Portland also. Roy could really end up being a good player for the Imaginary Cap Space franchise.

    Rudy just can't find a rhythm.

    His role isn't defined and often is playing out of position.

    Put him on a team where he's the starting SG and he'll put up great numbers.

    Speaking of this game, Jefferson looks like Zach Randolph in every way. He brought their offense to a stop as he tried to figure out what to do.

    Since it appears the team has gone through an identity overhaul, why not trade Dre and Roy to Orleans for Chris Paul?

    im sorry... rudys OK but hes not as good as advertised IMO. Hes sloppy, misses more threes then he makes, average defender, and really doesnt get many jumpers to go down.

    he needs to shut up and make some 3s

    I have no interest in giving up this size.

    That and Pauls production would be felt more in this system than Roys.

    Yes! I love this guy! You are absolutely correct Mixum. I only want 3pt shooters on the Blazers who make more then they miss. A team made up of nothing but players who shot 50%+ from the 3pt line would be soooooo sweet!

    Probably. But we won't be dangling Roy, LMA or Oden.

    It's okay Mixum, I got this one...

    If Roy can only score 2pts against a crap team like the Timberwolves what makes you think NO would want him? :biglaugh:

    This is fun, I'm learning to speak Mixum! :clap::clap::clap::clap:
