look where he took off from too

He got some good distance

Not bad for an old man

Blazers win!

"(Andre Miller) got a steal of a Brandon Rush pass in the backcourt and with a clear path to the hoop looked like he was actually going to dunk it with those 64-year-old legs. I believe that in true Darryl Dawkins fashion he was going to dub it the Miller-Time Pop-Top Rammin' Jammin' That's-For-TiH-and-his-Spammin' Thunderdawg Special. Unfortunately it got blocked. He did get to go to the line off the play at least. So he settled for calling the free throws "TiH Cheap Shots"." - Dave after a 102-79 beatdown of the Indiana Pacers

First 52 points in a game, and now this?

As Dan Patrick would say…you can’t stop Andre Miller, you can only hope to contain him!

When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!

anyone else find it a little strange

that MB knew when andre’s last dunk was off the top of his head?

Awesomeness (ô'səm-nes)

2. n. Nicolas Batum

MB mentioned

that Andre recently tried and failed a dunk and Andre said at that time that he hadn’t tried a dunk in 3 years.

Brandon Roy, 'nuff said.

3 years without trying to dunk

when you know you can dunk is amazing

When I feed you an outlet pass on the break THIS is what I expect you to do.

I am perpendicularly pissed off right now!!!!!!

by pxilpooshr on Mar 7, 2010 11:34 PM PST reply actions  

If Andre expects to dunk on every fast break opportunity then I say let him

That was impressive

Blazers win!

That looked more like a 23 year old Andre Miller.

Nice to see him playing himself into shape and feeling good at the right time of year. Brandon should probably follow a similar regiment. It might keep him from wearing down as much.

Gotta love it...

I think this confirms my suspicion to that Dre can in fact jump but is under control most of the time and only uses his explosiveness when absolutely necessary. I imagine this is also why he never gets injured because he is always in control. I hope Greg is watching Dre… I know they play different positions but it would help.

by Escrote on Mar 8, 2010 2:23 PM PST reply actions  

i wonder what webster's reaction was when he tossed the ball to the furthest red shirted player

and noticed it was miller going much too fast for a layup..

Hahaha! I was just surprised you hadn't thrown in some way to take him down a peg or two.

But I think even you have to be at least semi-impressed with that slam.

Nice effort in a losing effort by Miller

Why has he been holding dunks back from the fans? Because he’s selfish, that’s why!

This dunk

is the most improbably NBA event of the year (next to losing two centers to the same injury).

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
