I think you just checkmated yourself. Quoting John Canzano when it comes to player talent, or the NBA salary cap, is, by definition epic fail. If the bald faced idiot was our GM, our current PG controversy would not be Steve Blake vs. Andre Miller - it would be a battle between Pooh Jeter and Sergio to see who gets paired with Adam Morrison in the worst starting backcourt in the entire NBA. But, that's OK. At least we'd have the killer front line of Joakim Noah and Sean May to save us. BNM
That was the first thing I thought when I read the Canzano quote ... That's like asking your dry cleaner for investing advice. JC is a human interest guy at best and well paid troll at worst. Basketball guru, or talent evaluator? Ummm ... not so much.
So to be clear, "hate" is an awfully stupid word to use in this context ... but I'm sure Oden loves Miller.
I am pretty sure most of the supposed love/hate relationships that folks on this board think happen, are pretty much just fantasies in certain peoples minds. My guess is the team gets along pretty well, and are puzzled by all the conjecture from people on the boards who really have no conceivable grasp about how the team functions.
Roy hates Miller? I don't think so. From last night's game, I saw them communicating to each other during dead ball situations. It's great to see. I think Roy will have shared minutes playing with Blake and Miller, and Roy's becoming the leader we want by communicating with both of them.
Everybody looked happy to me, and everybody was communicating well. I think some folks are tripping because they like to think there is controversy. The only thing controversial to me, is how some the fans are treating Roy. Its like they have listened to those pricks on 95.5 so long, that they are actually letting some of their thoughts be swayed by those jack asses.
I have no respect for fans that are calling Roy a bitch. In fact, even though I have to post that stupid ass Mixum crow on my signature, I plan to post his "Roy's a bitch" comment there as well. Just so people know I totally disagree with Mixum. Anyone that says Roy's a bitch must be one. Cause they are bitching up the wrong tree.
