Dre's streak ends!

 

Patty Mills, it's your time to shine!

BTW, Good job with the interview HCP.

 

It'll be interesting to see how our offense looks without Miller for an entire game.

 

I don't even remember this? Anyone have a recap of what Miller did or even better, video?

What a crappy way for his streak to end!

 

Anybody have a video of Miller's move?

 

Are they seriously going to break his streak over some random, miniscule thing like this?

Come on, Stern.

 

Oh good God.

Patty Mills will start? Come to think of it, I would rather see Rudy or Nic there.

 

Uh, yeah. Hey Patty, go get Steve Nash. He's only coming off a game where he went 20 points, 17 assist while going 8/8 from the floor. Rough spot to lose Dre for a night.

 

I would hope that between Roy, Wes, and Batum we can handle bringing the ball up against Steve Nash's "defense". No need to start Patty Cakes.

 

Actually, I change my stance. I can live with Patty starting. I think he can play well against Nash because he's quick and can shoot. His height won't be as big a detriment as it could be against others.

 

I'm more concerned on the defensive side of the ball. Trying to stay with Nash.

 

I don't think "brining the ball up" is the concern.

 

Ya, that's what I was thinking with the Nic/Rudy thing. But our offense looks like absolute shit with Roy running it.

We couldn't really handle Nash all that well WITH Dre, so I don't think it would make much of a difference to stick Patty on him.

 

So, I was there last night, and I just remembered what this was. It was away from the ball, Miller was coming off a screen or something and just gave Blake Griffin a huge push. Nobody saw it and Griffin was upset. It certainly doesn't seem like something that should have gotten him suspended at all.

 

If only someone on this board had access to Blazer video. (Not finding it on youtube either).

 

Hahahahaha Dre totally deserved it.
