    Your crazy Andre Miller's court vision and passing skills are still top 10 in the NBA! We had a better chance of winning if we slowed things down and that's what Nate did. To blame Miller is ridiculous!

    It's not blaming anyone fool

    It's saying Andre Miller was an old man and not a running PG. Too slow.

    Miller was on some of the highest pace quick possession teams in the league. Denver and Philly ran a lot with him, Miller was not the problem. Does a PG who can't hit the jumper in a half court offense sound like a good slow it down option? JCrawford was not on a running team, the Hawks had one of the slowest paces in the NBA right down there with the Blazers.

    Sure we could run more this year, but it won't be primarily because of those two players.

    Bullshit! You put him on Golden State, he leads the NBA in dimes!









    And the only reason I allowed you to call me fool is because I googled you and you have mad street cred!

    Huh?

    Philadelphia was 20th in pace his last season there.

    Tied for 16th the season before, and the season before that

    Last full season he was in Denver, yes, Denver was one of the highest pace factor teams in the NBA. 2005-2006.

    Andre Miller was also 29-30, right in the middle of his prime. Not 34-35.

    He got old. It happens.

    This is a make or break season for the team. If you have the players to run the floor (which the Blazers do), then you have to give it a shot.
