Built Ford Tough Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 "Instead, Miller finds himself battling for the job with Steve Blake(notes) – the same guy for whom the Blazers spent the summer searching for an upgrade. After coming off the bench for Portland’s first two preseason games, Miller started Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He played well and is expected to start again in the preseason, but Blazers coach Nate McMillan still seems to like the idea of bringing Miller off the bench." “If I was told right out when I had my meetings that I would be a backup, then I wouldn’t have come here,” Miller told Yahoo! Sports this week. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Agte0OaT9oZor4NTwmWHCrK8vLYF?slug=mc-millerblazers101009&prov=yhoo&type=lgns I didn't like the signing in the first place as I didn't think that the Blazers didn't need a primary playmaker in the backcourt when they already have Roy. It definitely didn't help that they got a guy in Miller who doesn't have great range on his jumper either. Miller is definitely the better and more talented player but I think that Blake is a better fit with the rest of the starting unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 He'll come around. Once he realizes how great of a team the Blazers have and how he'll be starting when the season is over. I know Blake is a great PG but you can't not start Dre Miller once we really get into the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
