2) Andre Miller, for dominating Nash....and Leandro Barbosa, and Jason Richardson, and Phoenix' absent interior rotations, and...*shakes head* Channing Frye.

 

So this is now the third year in a row where Andre Miller led an overmatched team to a road upset against a much more talented squad in the first game of the playoffs. If I were a Blazers fan and the trend continues, I'd be very excited for Game 3...and not so much for the rest of the series, lol.

 

Seriously, it's a shame that Miller doesn't have Roy in this series. He's never had a legit supporting cast to work with, except for an immature Carmelo, and now his best chance to finally get out of the first round sees him playing again, without a great supporting cast.

 

He wills teams to wins, but somewhere down the line Phoenix' firepower is probably going to wake up, and the Blazers won't have another scorer to take the load off of Miller and Aldridge. But it's always nice to see him simply work his way into a win while people are surprised. He's done this before.

Well, most definitely everyone else...but because Nash couldn't contain him, it turned EVERYTHING into a mismatch for Miller. He was too fast for Frye, too strong for Nash and Barbosa, and too smart and fast for Richardson. Tough cover for most point guards, sort of like Billups and Williams.
