    He totally bailed our asses out in the fourth with his ability to beat a press and make some timely passes or get to the foul line to break the Buck's run.

    It's amazing what happens when your point guard can handle the ball like a point guard, I guess. Someday maybe he'll learn to play the game the way we play...choking games like that away.

    Props.

    I've been impressed with his play as of late. I feel like he's really starting to transition himself into the game and has been effective playing along side B-Roy. We shall see how the rest of the year goes and if he can maintain this level of play.

    He is finally shaking off the rust from not touching a basketball over the summer, much like Roy.

    KP was right. It's good that Miller had that blow up with Nate, or he might have been parked on the bench for the entire fourth. :pimp:

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    He's a smart veteran with a lot of skill. He was moved from one system to a completely different one, and then given strangely sporadic minutes/role. It's not surprising that he wasn't functioning at peak efficiency...but he's adjusted now, because he's heady in addition to being talented.

    How can this be???? Doesn't he know he doesn't fit in? Doesn't he know he's a Zach Randolph, stat-padding ballhog that does nothing to help his team win? Doesn't he know he doesn't play how WE play? Doesn't he know he can't co-exist with Brandon Roy? Doesn't he know John Canzano thinks "Miller doesn't fit with Portland. He'll never fit. You know it. I know it. The Blazers players know it."? What's this guys problem anyway? Why can't he just not fit in like he's supposed to?

    Oh yeah, I forgot...

    He's aloof, anti-social, reclusive, moody, kicks dogs and pulls the wings off butterflies.

    It was 100-83 (+17) when Miller re-entered the game in the 4th.

    It was 117-103 (+14) when he left.

    So we continued to lose ground while he was in, and only the clock saved us from eventually handing the game back to the Bucks.

    We won by 12.

    The 5th quarter guys mentioned that the bucks started trapping blake and bayless and they both got bothered by it and lost their focus. Andre Miller was put in and he seemed to shake off the trap.

    I think there is more truth to that than most realize.
