    We're playing the Lakers. Get used to it now. April 11th will be a nice tune-up game. I think we can beat them.

    Roy had 3 assists and hit all of his free throws. Maybe Miller could've created better scoring opportunities for Roy?

    No offense, but you thought we would still win this game 5 minutes ago.

    Its not just one game. Let's face it, he isn't that good. He can have games where he's unstoppable, and I still want the ball in his hands with the game on the line. But he has too many games like this to be considered among the best in the league. He's an all-star but he isn't on the level of LJ, KB, KD, DW.

    I mean this as total seriousness.. not as an insult. But is this part of the bi-polar disorder?

    I have been watching the game and just decide to see what people are saying about the game. I can't believe anyone is blaming Miller for the loss. He has been the only guy with any effort and has played pretty well. Roy and Batum have been the worse players tonight. It won't make any difference the people that are blaming Miller are so full of shit and know very little about basketball. Plus they won't listen even when people explain things to them. This is one of the reason I haven't been on this forum much lately.

    No. This is just me having fun rooting for the Blazers. Bipolar disease is a serious illness in which one goes from wanting to kill himself (seriously) to feeling the best one could ever feel and then bad and then good.. etc. And it's painful. A really horrible thing. It was awful. I'm pretty balanced now. Life is good.

    I know thats why I was asking (more about the game though) with you being so optimistic, yet so irritated with something.

    They double and triple teamed him all night. I think Nate and Roy should have had a better plan to exploit this and find the open man, but it wasn't happening tonight. But if that's enough for you to make blanket statements, then go ahead.

    Miller had 1 assist. He never even LOOKED for the open man. Yes, he did some good things. No doubt. But he forced up a bunch of horrible low percentage shots while his teammates were open. We lost this game because of our shooting percentage. And that was Miller's doing. He wasn't creating high percentage shots for his teammates. He wasn't even TRYING to.

    Oh and I KNOW (are you really that bad of a speller?) a little about basketball.
