With Brandon Roy

With Brandon Roy, Miller is worse than a dead log. Other teams just leaves Andre Miller and clogs up the lane.

You think all these turnovers are a coincidence? Think again. It’s the result of Miller being on the floor and 5 vs 4 on offense.

somebody please explain to me..

Why Oden was subbed out with 5 min. left in the first quarter after he was playing so well and had no fouls?

He was in a rythym and then Nate just took him out. Of course when he came back in, he picked up fouls and looked out of sync. Nates substitution patterns are curious

For all you Jerryd Bayless fans, he's still an overaggressive idiot on defense, can't shot a lick at this ...

level, and is still prone to committing tons of turnovers due to his tunnel vision. With that said, Steve Blake has nevertheless played like complete and utter excrement thus far this season.

Where’s Kirk Hinrich when you need him?

What?

I want a defensive-minded, sharp-shooting off guard to play next to Brandon Roy.

Andre Miller is a pure point guard and Jerryd Bayless is an undersized shooting guard (i.e., gunner), so they won’t work alongside Roy. Steve Blake, moreover, is a downright sieve defensively, so he can’t be counted on in a starting role.

I’ve supported bringing in Kirk Hinrich longer than anyone here.
