    I saw him shoot threes on three separate occasions in the second half alone the other night against Utah, and they weren't even the ones along the sidelines that are a bit closer. This has got to stop!

    The team was 3-25 on 3s.......so not going to win very often when shooting that poorly.

    He's still hitting .389 on the season and that makes him No.3 on the team behind Martin and Lee. So yeah shoot away Brad.

    I would like to point out that Miller is shooting 35.3% since 1st December, so he may be shooting decently for the season, but Rafer-like since December. Last 5 games? 4-14, 28.5% I'm not saying he shoots bad shots, but even if they are good looks, they aren't going down.

    Who gives a damn if he's shooting 3s! Sit his ass on the bench and play Patterson!

    Brad Miller shoots 3s because he can get them in...I don't get your question.

    I would rathe see Miller shooting 3's over Lowry, and by the way running the offense over Brooks.

    Have you seen him pump fake at the three point line and then try to drive?

    Its the ugliest basketball move in the world.

    1/10 times he will get a beautiful assist otherwise he turns it over, barrels into someone and chucks up a wild shot and gets a tech for complaining about no call.

    He is absolutely useless on the defensive end, the only thing he can do is shoot some 3s and play in the high post.

    i think the real question should be...

    "why did kyle shoot 7 threes when he didn't make any?"

    Miller's ability to play "point center" has kept this bench afloat, but he works much better when he has a legitimate point guard to play off of. It's not so effective when he's the only one directing traffic.

    He's had good chemistry with Lowry, Lee, and last night's new and improved Ishmael Smith.

    But he still needs to figure out how to work together with Williams and Brooks at the PG spot.

    He shoots threes because he is good at it. Why do you start threads?
