I don't think most of you understands what it means to have a vet handling the ball when the starters are on the bench or in crunch time. Patty Mills sometimes comes down an does stupid shit.
Ginobili visits here quite often
But hes got "swag" :lol
lol'd

I guess it's Miller Time?
When Kyle Anderson was drafted, this was the guy I thought who had the most similar game, high basketball IQ, nothing rushed, a very delibrate game. I always thought Miller fit the Spurs, too bad he's coming at the end of his career.
Miller shall mentor Kyle
and Kyle could become one of the most unique players in Spurs history
:lma

Pop knows he can not beat the Warriors with slow pace, then will try to beat them with much slower pace ..lmao

I'm hoping Andre "Pryor" Miller will mentor Kyle a bit. As someone else said, give him some swag. Something like this:Quote:

Why does it feel like the Spurs end of the bench players are like a coaching staff.... Bonner, Miller, Butler?
Wrong. Andre will play more than you realize. 2 PG lineups = more playing time for the third.Quote:

IMO this is another CIA Pop move, keeping Andre away from the Clippers... especially with the way TP has struggled both with CP3 and Austin Rivers...
Who's minutes is he going to take? Parker's? Mills'? I can't see why Pop would want to deviate from what he's been doing all season, especially now this late in the season.Quote:

All I can see is that Simmons had a lot of trouble covering a crafty guard like Chris Paul, so maybe Miller can help out.

Since when do spurs regularly do a 2PG offense? Seems like his role would be negligible if that is the case.Quote:

Green, Mills. (Then Simmons, if he'll stop throwing the ball to girls in the stands.) Makes Mills the SG, which is mostly his thing.
Leonard, Anderson. (Then Butler)
Duncan, Diaw/West
Aldridge, Diaw/West. (Then Boban)
Or what?
And of course still with Bonner as our field goal kicker.
Miller's game has never depended on athleticism. the game he has today is the same game he had 10 years ago. His mental edge to the game allows him to come off the bench cold, and contribute. That is why he is here. If someone goes down, or if two players go down, and you need your 3rd PG, who do you think would be more prepared for playoff play? Pop and RC says, Miller.
Miller is old but he will be invaluable when the bench just can't get it going. He's a creator who can run an offense and can generate open looks with his bbiq. Don't need to play him much, just when we need a steady hand during offensive lulls. Ray just wasn't aggressive enough to be a difference maker and not sure he ever will be. Miller can be, in the moment and in small spurts. Great for what we gave up, imo.

The Spurs fingerprints are all over the league from players, to coaches, to front offices. Just another amazing part of this franchise. Like Kevin Bacon, we should start a "Six degrees of Greg Popovich" thread.Quote:

Say what you want Miller is tough and HE CAN PASS. Spurs system doesn't require a player to be athletic. Ray was probably the 3rd most athletic player on the team behind Simmons and Mills and he GOT CUT.
Expect a lot of Ollies and open 3's/Jumpers when he is on the court. As someone post in another post, the Spurs bench +/- has dropped considerably since Manu went down. Having Miller provides the Spurs with a passer on Manu's level. He is an insurance policy in case Manu goes down.
I for one think he is a great pickup for THIS YEAR with Manu recouping from his injuries. Seriously, I would rather the Spurs have him than Kevin Martin.
Nice.... he can guard Draymond Green!Quote:

Article on Miller
Quotes from Pop:
Quote:
"His basketball IQ is off the charts," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "What a pro. Tough minded, disciplined and he'll pick up things very quickly."
Popovich said he had been following the 17-year veteran's career for a while, and he always thought Miller would be a good addition to the Spurs.
"He's one of those players you look at and say, boy, I could figure out how to fit him in ... , because he has been such a great player for several teams," Popovich said. "He's just a pro, the consummate pro."
Spurs to open assisted living center next to practice facility
Assisted living? There's one accross the street of the practice facility!😀
All I gotta say is he looks REALLY slow.
Zero points, a couple boards and an assist. Meh
Hes just getting into game shape :lol
8 minutes guys. Chill. :lmao
I'm convinced he's just here to be in the role as a players coach.

Too bad he couldn't be a Spur earlier. IQ is off the charts.
Defense looked about as good as I could have hoped. It was bad, but at least he'll make up for poor on-ball D with some steals and deflections. Really want to see him get better on O.
:lol 8 mn, first game after having been signed two days ago... his play deserves absolutely no comments whatsoever
That hook pass he threw cross court to patty on the corner was really sweet, reminded me of manu
Once he gets up to 10-15 minutes a game, then we'll judge.Quote:

He looked great for his first game. Funny, you could see the wheels turning in Pop's head while Miller was on the floor. I think he is going to enjoy experimenting for the last part of the season.
[QUOTE=Spurs9;8455474]I was just reading that apparently hes only missed 3 games in his entire career due to injury. He didn't take any shots at halftime shootaround, he was under the basket studying each players shots.[/QUOTE]
How interesting. A lot was said above about his personality, as he seems to be a strict professional, but has his quirks. Maybe to get a sense about what shots guys like?
[QUOTE=SAGirl;8455492]Entirely possible. He has been the PG for at least 7 teams and had to adjust to many players sweet spots. Excellent for his passing on the court and also helping the other younger players spot them.Quote:
