Not once did I see him with breathing space.

If you're talking about going at the basket and all, then I understand. But setting up for 3's, he didn't get his looks. Even Battier would pass it up or the Bucks would close out too fast.

Alright, continue to make excuses for Miller.

But, I'm not.

Miller not taking a single 3 when he's on the floor is unacceptable. Damn sure didn't give us much with rebounds and his "hustle" a lot of us praise him for at times. What good was he? 19 **** minutes on the floor with ONE point and ONE FG attempt. Did he help kill it on the boards tonight? Did Millers great "hustle" that we praise him for at times make an appearance either? Nope. Make excuses for the guy being useless tonight, but I won't do it.

By the way, you're not always going to get your beautiful, perfect open shot that you want. If Miller can only provide 3's when things are all good, then is he really bringing that much to the table? I won't get too caught up in one game, but I can wipe my ass with those excuses about the "Bucks just being so hard on miller he couldn't get his special looks". **** that. He was garbage. Almost 30 million and can't make a tough shot huh? Okay.

It wasn't just Miller. Battier also had problems getting his shot off quickly.

It just seems that they have slower triggers than Chalmers, Jones and Cole (who I wish had a slower trigger so he wouldn't shoot so many jumpers)

A lot of that has to with the fact that the Bucks just covered the 3 a lot tonight. Miller had a few times I think he could've got his shot up, but if he has any doubt I'd rather him not shoot it.

But I agree, Cole needs to slow down on offense and let his shot come to him and stop rushing it so much.

I agree that the Bucks closed out well but that's the thing, good teams close out well.

Almost everyone in the league can hit open 3 pt shots. We need people who can hit the three with someone closing out on them.

If you get an open kickout at the three point line off of a drive and dish but don't shoot it the defense just resets and now you are against the shot clock.

I expect Cole to get better and not rush - he's a rookie, rookie mistakes

Miller needs to take the threes when he's out there... He just didn't look to score on Sunday for me.
