So Brad is the victim????
Well for $40 or $50, or whatever outrageous amount his contract his for he should at least find a way to contribute more than 3 rebounds a game and hit a few open jump shots when the team needs you.
Let me know what time the Brad Miller pity party starts, I'll bring the cheese and wine.
Why can't people discuss this without it always turning into a bunch of hateful comments made about this year's scapegoat?
2004 - Webber
2005 - Peja
2006 - Brad
THAT is what I meant by it's starting again.
Yes, Brad Miller had a pretty poor playoffs. Some are simply berating him, while othrs are trying to find a reason that might explain why his performance was so poor.
Instead of the sarcastic reply that doesn't do anything to further the discussion, why not consider the alternative Nazman has proposed?
Anyone who thinks Brad Miller wanted to go out and do poorly is a fool. These guys aren't in the NBA because they didn't care. Anyone who makes it to the NBA has had to work very hard. They have something inside them that doesn't let them give up without a fight. If they didn't, they wouldn't be part of an NBA franchise.
We may never know why it is that Brad just seemed to be playing on low batteries.
BUT, for once, could we enter TDOS without having to have a target on our own team to villefy and throw increasingly hostile comments at?
Criticize? Oh, yeah. There's room for a lot of that. But it can be done without the vitriol that some people seem to relish.

I am well aware of the point of KINGSFANS.COM, which is sometimes a little different than a lot of other Kings boards around. For the most part, our members prefer to discuss the shortcomings, etc. of various players without resorting to over-the-top comments that are simply insiteful and not insightful.
You can argue about Miller's poor performance all you like. All I'm suggesting is that it can be done without getting members at each other's throats.
That's it. As a moderator of this forum I'm asking for people to remember that we are, in fact, the more civilized Kings board, a true Internet community, that doesn't tear each other apart on the board. That's all...

I have always been a big Brad Miller supporter. In the past, I cringed everytime someone talked about wanting to get rid of him. I thought at one time he brought so much to the team. But this year, I have just seen a lousy effort out of him. He has been so ineffective with only a few good games here and there. I have come to the conclusion that it is probably time to move him. His aggressiveness is just not there anymore. I don't see him as a starter anymore, maybe just a role player off the bench, definately not a "core" player on this team. Well, this season is over, hoping for a much better year next year. I will be there like always watching all 82 games again with the ups and downs. Things are looking up at least.
