I agree.

Just wanted to be the first one to say that this year.

It would suck to start a PG who can create his own shot while drawing fouls or soak up O boards. then again no 3s from the 1, not that Blake has been hitting them so far…..

If Blake can’t prove himself as a solid starter in 10 games. START MILLER

So far this year though I’ve been far from impressed with his coaching. He’s too stubborn in his plays and rotations. Let Miller and Aldridge/Rudy/Webster run the break. Give Oden the ball more when it works instead of forcing him to grab a rebound if he wants to score. Tell Brandon and Aldridge to be aggressive and win the game from the inside (paint) out. We are relying far too much on midrange jumpers so far while other teams beat us inside and get our bigs in trouble.

He’s just far too stubborn sometimes, but I’m willing to be a bit more patient. And yes, start Miller. If Blakes going to play bad anyways let Miller and Roy get used to each other during this season starting slump. This is going to be an interesting year that says a lot about the future of the team, lets make it look bright.

And on that note time to go back to celebrating the Ducks win!

Not really, but seriously starting him would be a bad idea.

3.5 ppg. for Blake after 3 games…

Why is he playing again?

when you start for 10 years, you may struggle off the bench. Not everyone is travis outlaw

which is good, but more valuable when Roy is off the floor (i.e. in a reserve role). He hasn’t run the offense well and hasn’t shot well. He had 2 assists and 0 assists in the last two games. Where are the pick and roles, the lob passes, and the fast breaks he was supposed to provide to “make everyone better”? When he has played at the end of games he hasn’t contributed. in Houston he missed an 18-ft shot and committed an obvious offensive foul trying to force the ball to the basket while Brooks hit a 3 and a 2 to stretch the lead from 2 to 11 and put the game away.

But Miller’s biggest problem has been his defense. He plays worse defense than the mediocre Blake. His trademark so far has been to lose his man and then to jump in the air and sail past him as he fakes or shoots. It’s the “Flying None” defense. With that defense he will be lucky to finish games, let alone start games. He finished the OKC game on the bench for the last t5 minutes.

just to boost his value as a (starting PG) in a trade at the beginning of this season? An early trade leaving Miller as PG1 and Bayless finally gets his chance to handle the second team. I’d like to think that Bayless is a better athlete and player than Sergio or Blake, then why didn’t/doesn’t he play.

Give the kid a chance… he’s rotting on the bench!

In the three games I’ve watched, Miller has looked awful playing with Brandon. He looks far better with the second unit. Steve Blake hasn’t played great, but he helped us win 54 games last year, and he compliments Brandon’s game much better than Andre. You don’t just take Steve’s job away after a 54 win season. People need to calm down and let the team get going.

I’m so ready to see Blake grab some bench. Start Miller, Nate.

’Nuff said.
