What is strange to me is that Nate and Dre went out to dinner and it was more them clicking than KP and Dre. What happened? These two were suppose to be on the exact same page. How did it go from that to this? The book on Miller seems to be playing out . . . helps on the court, bad chemistry guy off the court.
Per Quick, from Andre at practice: Andre: "I've been a professional for 11 years, and I feel like you guys are embarrassing me!"
Why did Bayless even mention what Andre said? Bayless made the choice to do what he did. Roy is the Captain, and I would assume calls the shots............doesn't matter what Andre said. Sounds like pass the buck to me.

It's not Miller's fault he can't hit from outside, nor that Brandon needs the ball in his hands for the majority of the fourth quarter. It's not the Blazers fault either. I'm sure they all thought that he would work better along side Brandon. They gave it a try and it's not working. This outburst is probably necessary to move on though. Either Miller and Blazers work together to find a role for Miller with the team that they can agree on or Portland sends him out via a trade. I believe they'll work closer to finding a suitable role and, in the end, be stronger for it.
Yeah. That bothers me on two levels. One, why would Andre say something different than our leader says and two, why would Bayless listen to him.
He doesnt need to shoot from the outside to be effective on this team. Just look at how good he has been playing ever since he has been a starter, stabilizing force
To be honest, Andre, you're a professional and you're getting rewarded handsomely. Let's not pussy-foot around the situation. Your style isn't meshing well. The Blazers can try to put you in a better position with this team to succeed, but you're also going to have hear what they're saying and change.
He does if he wants to play in the fourth quarter. He's been good as a starter, yes, but not as a closer. He's a liability and we can't risk playing him for long spans in the fourth quarter. Guess what happens in the Playoffs. He'll have to sit the majority of a series. Opponents will sag off of him nearly every possession I predict.
Bahwawa... For someone heralded as a guy who likes to dish, his individual achievements sure look like they are taking a front row...
What does he mean by that? That the way Nate is limiting him is embarrassing? The way the press portrays him is embarrassing him? the way his teammates act towards him is embarrassing him? The play on the court is embarrassing him? I don't get it?
I guess if it would have been a situation involving myself and I felt I had to mention who said what, I would explain why "I" did that. Like ...............I thought Miller's advice was more sound, or shit, I was trying to miss it. There is a reason why he did what he did and Andre is not to blame for another persons choices. Like mom always said, if a person told you to( insert act) would you do it?
