agreed... should he be happy about his role thus far? Is it really a problem that he's not? Is he staying focused and producing? STOMP
I wouldn't be either. I'm just impressed that Brian Smith has been able to get such good interviews out of him, with no PC or canned answers.
Don't be too impressed; Andre's not one to sugar coat anything. A lot of these answers are similar to what he said in November in various interviews with Quik and the Oregonian crew.
No sorry. I just get tired of mountains being made out of mole hills... Miller will be fine, I think he needs focus more on making assists and distributing in order to become the #1
He is right about everything he is saying. He hasn't been given the opportunity to be a leader or a factor in the end of games. Blake isn't anywhere near as good as Miller and Andre see's that. I don't blame him for being frustrated that our coaches aren't getting the most out of the team while at the same time making him look like he isn't as good as he truly is. Look at his career. You don't get praise from top coaches around the league and respect from elite PGs without being consistently productive over your entire career.
Yeah, sure, Miller has every right to be upset. OTOH, Philly obviously didn't need/want him anymore. I wonder what other situation would have made him happy? I doubt he would have received the $$/terms with any other team that got with Portland.
Andre Miller turned out to be almost exactly what KP/Nate wanted. He's been a solid, experienced BACKUP PG who could score and strengthen our bench by tutoring them. Unfortunately he's provided no leadership nor has he found a consistent way to help the team. I would assume he can only blame his own withdrawn personality for any mis-communication IF it were the first PG to say that about Nate. But they've all said it. Even Brandon.
I love how Miller is being viewed as a saint by those that feel that Brandon is selfish. It just goes to show that some of you just want something to bitch about.
Re-visted this thread because of the things that transpired today, guess i wasnt interpreting the earlier article like some of you thought....
