I find it hard to believe that in the four minutes that Darius Miles was in the game that any of you believe that he deserved not to be ridiculed or given one more minute of playing time. He was two seconds slow on every defensive play, he threw up an air ball that would be an embarrassing shot for an EIGHTH GRADER. He seriously mis-timed his leaps for rebounds and was as out of sync as any player that has worn the Celtics uniform since Gerald Green.
Enough with the remembrances of Darius Miles as the high flying, above the rim living, KG wannabe with attitude that he once was and please people, come to grips with the fact that he isn't making this team and that all your delusions of a man overcoming a catastrophically horrible injury to be the Lazarus of the NBA this year are as far fetched as dividing a number by zero. It's not going to happen.
So why would Doc hammer Miles and support Scal? Because one will make this team and one won't. Because one has a guaranteed contract this year and one doesn't. This was all very easy to see if you just saw what reality put in front of you. Will Miles have a good game before the season starts? Maybe, probably most likely. Will he show that he can consistently put together good game after good game to ensure he makes this team and convinces the management that his knee will be a non-issue? Not a chance in the world.
Wake up Celtic Nation Miles is done. And unfortunately it doesn't matter that Scal doesn't deserve to be on this team, because he doesn't. But his contract will one day be worth something, Miles will never be worth anything. Sad story. Sad reality. But it is the truth as I know it.
