    that could be taken many ways. It might even have to do with all the injuries, he does not know what is going on because every day the Blazers seem to lose another player. It could also be a communication issue. Or that he does not feel he is being used correctly. Without more, I don't think we have any chance of correctly interpreting this.

    Previous tweet from Brian

    I guess we will wait and see the context, but i think its more about the relationship and his comfort and not injuries

    You did. STFU

    With all the stuff that's happened to this team this year I don't think anyone know what's going on. Except KP of course :devilwink:

    I dont think anyone can blame miller for being pissed. roy never embraced him. nate benched him for steve blake and he hadn't played at all in the 4th qtr recently until blake got hurt. I think i would be mad too.

    I mean even though he cant hit a jumper to save his life.... hes still our best PG and deserves to start. Infact J Quick says people around the league say Miller plays his best ball starting in January. Last night he played well. Overall I doubt Miller is a Blazer this time next year BUT if we do trade him... we better find a PG cause its not blake or bayless.

    I read the quotes and I read the article and I still do not see where you come up with the lack of "relationship" with the rest of the team part.

    ...Miller should have been the starting PG from the get go, anyone that thought otherwise is a fool [yes, that includes all of you, the players, and the staff that tried to justify Miller coming off the bench]

    Well that was not actually the "quote" my man. Here is the FULL question and FULL quote:

    It's called context, kinda like if Oregon did not have a football team, the Beavers would be the big show.

    Why didn't you choose this sentence from the whole quote?

    "I came here to win, that's all that really matters."

    Then you could have called your thread: Miller just wants to win, he does not care about his minutes. :drumroll:

    All I read in that article was somebody who's not sure why he was brought here and is still trying to figure out where he fits. Am I missing the massive controversy?

    regardless, I don't see these relayed quotes as surprising or controversial. Players generally want to play and feel they deserve it... especially players who've started the previous 10 seasons. His responses aren't outlandish, they're reasoned. I'd be more concerned if he didn't question how he is being used.

    This is on Nate. Starting Blake over him was a joke, and Miller has every right to be upset.

    He certainly doesn't seem happy.
