For anyone who in hindsight would rather have spent our MLE on Brad Miller

You think if this happened to a Celtics player we would ever forgive them? Ever? Tony Allen fell for a pump fake in 2008, and we're still teasing him about it, and he's on another team!

EDIT: Also, for anyone in the pick 2 draft...Kyle Lowry, y'all!

He looks like he is about to cry...and that is before the other near turnover and airball 3.

It almost makes me uncomfortable to watch...where is this guy when you need him:

I'd rather have a 80% J.O. then Miller! We need defense and length in playoffs to stop Howard, Gasol & Bynum. I would be very excited if J.O. indeed gets healthy.  He looked pretty stout defensively this season so far at 65% of himself.

  I was *very* worried that Danny would give Miller a 3 year MLE deal last summer.

Something happened to Miller the last two seasons in Minnesota and Washington.  His shooting percentage remained high but his scoring fell off a cliff.  He appears to have just stopped shooting, but his assists and rebounds didn't go up so I don't know what he was doing on the court.

I still think Miller would be have better off in Boston.  He would have got more minutes and played a more natural role than as the kickstand to Bron and Wade's moped.

Of course, that means Danny wouldn't have traded for Jeff Green, so it worked out for the best in the end.

  We're talking about Mike Miller's older, taller brother Brad...

Also not to be confused with thier uncle Steve Miller, or their adopted cousins Cheryl and Reggie Miller.

Well, instead Danny spent the MLE on somebody who predictably has tanked pretty much his whole first season.  

At least Miller has been out there trying to earn his paycheck.

  True, but that 3rd year would still suck.

He needs to be Rondo slapped.

That pass by Miller wasn't any worse than this one by KG a couple years ago:

I'd rather have Brad Miller than JO.  Like already mentioned, at least he's out there playing.  Worst case scenario we leave him on the bench and he gives us equal production to JO.  We coulda used him in a game like the Denver one, maybe would have been the difference and pulled out a win.

Key element: The Celtics won that game, and KG finished with 21 points and 8 boards. The Rockets lost their game, and Brad Miller shot 25% to finish with 5 pts and 9 boards.

There's on GIGANTIC difference between that play and the Brad Miller one... the outcome of the game.
