How he always is overlooked, even by me. Gotta say I've grown to be a big fan of Miller. This is what he said... "I don't care (about not playing). This is the time in the season where you need everybody to contribute," Miller said. "There are going to be nights where guys are going to get opportunities to step up. You just support them and move onto the next night." --- http://www.columbian.com/news/2011/mar/15/bc-bkn-mavericks-trail-blazers-1st-ld-writethru065/ Good stuff from a great addition. I'm telling you I got this weird feeling about this club this season. Don't know why, but it just seems this team can come out with a ton of upsets come playoff. I hope I'm right.
I was a little worried about him last night. Glad he was OK with not playing in the 4th. He is right, some nights you play more and some you won't. it will also happen to Wallace, Batum, Rudy, Camby, Roy and Wes.
it was nice to see him up and one of the first ones to greet teammates with Patty. I think it was after Roy hit that short jumper with like 3 to go.
Dre is very shy/quiet and keeps to himself. A lot like Greg. They tend to get shit from fans thinking they don't care. Not everybody is a rah rah outgoing type.
Exactly. And because we do have a lot of charismatic players on the team, it makes them look even more reticent in comparison.
I really have come to like him personally and as a player. Could you imagine if he could hit a jumper? Damn.
I know that a lot of his scoring comes from postups, but his lifetime shooting percentage is not bad. .459, compared to some other guys we had to put up with like Damon Stoudamire, .406 and Nick Van Exel .405
Damon and Nick jacked up 20 ft J's from all over the place. Dre takes it to the rack. He knows his strengths. Amazing he has had such a successful career in spite of having a worse shot then me!
Exactly, though he doesn't get much credit for it. Of course he has nites when it's off, but many times he's came through with it when no one else is hitting shit.
Miller's true value is shot selection. I hardly ever see Miller hoist shots up unless they are deep in the playclock or he's wide-open. I really think Miller is arguably one of the smartest players I've seen on the floor. Well at least as a Blazer.
