    This is why Want to Keep Kyle here. He sure can develop into a Miller type player.

    You're right... my bad. Suns would have to win 2 in the Rose Garden and 4 out of the next 5 overall for his prediction. Portland is in real good shape.

    I doubted Portland ever since they lost Oden and had all those injuries. I didn't really like them as a team either, and now, I still don't like them. But I didn't think they'd even make the playoffs and look at them now. If they manage to pull a first round series win I will just be in complete shock, and then McMillan would have to win Coach of the Year.

    Hilarious! I hope the blazers beat the suns, but it'll be tough without Roy.

    1) he will never have the poise ----Poise? did you watch any Rockets games this year?

    2) Offesive arsenal - He can't shoot from distance AT ALL. He gets his in the paint mostly (kinda like Kyle).

    3)Passing ability - See reply #1

    I think Kyle can reach that potential. All he needs is a post game.

    Not a chance. Miller's basketball IQ is off the chart and he has a mid-range game. Kyle Lowry uses his strength and athleticism to bully his way to the basketball, that's his game.

    Not a chance? You do know Kyle is 24 and Miller is 34.

    So you're saying Kyle can't learn or become a better player?

    Kyle arguably has better B-ball IQ than AB. He has a decent mid range jumper and already gets to the line like Miller.

    I'm pretty sure this was a fluke win for the Blazers.

    First of all, they only won by three.

    Second, Miller had to go NUTS in this game for Portland to win by THREE.

    If Portland continues playing this way (specifically, Miller), then the Suns might be in trouble.

    But I just can't see Miller and role players getting 30, and 22 a game, respectively, for the next three straight games.

    Kyle doesn't have a mid range game. And Miller was throwing all kinds of sweet alley-oops at Kyle's age. I doubt Kyle would ever lead the league in assists.

    You do realize Miller was the starting PG for all of the teams he has been on, aside from his rookie year?

    If Kyle gets a starting job, I'm pretty sure 4.7 ast/gm can turn into 8/9 ast/gm, and eventually 11/12.

    AND he is only 24?

    :eek:

    I bet if we let him go to the fakers in the offseason he'll do it.

    That better not happen though.

    Regardless, I said "Type" of player. He can learn to post up and sharpen his passing. He gets to the line and can develop a better mid range shot.

    Ever think of a possibility that Kyle doesn't get a starting job later in his career because he's simply not up to it? You know what happen to one certain player on our roster who came to Houston last summer to expand his game? He used to be awesome when playing 20 minutes per game as a role player.

    Guess what. If they moved Lowry to the SG spot and asked him to start shooting 3's more He'd be just as bad. You want to Knock Ariza who just got a triple double huh?

    Your comparison is useless.

    Kyle is a point guard and he plays that position well. He's a good passer and can run an offense. He can also Rebound with the best of them at PG. TOP 10

    Did you just start watching basketball? Or did you miss when he carried the Suns past the Mavs in the WC semifinal the first year he came there? Or how about him making two consecutive Western Conference Finals, one without Amare?

    Your basketball knowledge = overrated
