What CJ Miles experiment? You mean giving the only real talent on our bench some playing time? The dude was playing well till that airball at GS... followed by another airball, its totally messed with his confidence

Let's not mix sub-40% shooting with an "playing well". Not sure what the answer is (I propose putting him in the starting lineup with AK so that CJ doesn't go cold), but Catch-and-Miss wasn't without flaw before airball times two happened.
 
With so much concern over head injuries nowadays, I think Stern is either going to have to ban CJ from the league or issue helmets to everyone. Raining down those airballs on unsuspecting players is gonna start causing concussions. How long before someone is seriously injured?

...funny stuff! I say give more minutes to Hayward.....airballs by white guys come down softer than black guys!

Hahaha. Let the CJ haters come out after a bad game. And it was a bad game for him. Most of you are blind to the fact that a lot of those jacked up shots were at or near the end of a shot clock including the one you guys mentioned near the end of the game. Deron gave him the ball with little time left, he tried to attack they stopped him and he took a bad shot while everybody else on the floor was standing around instead of moving. He also had 2 pretty nice looking passes that led to baskets and was getting rebounds. The reason he was in instead of Raja is because he was hustling and Raja was not.

Price just plain sucks.

Now that said CJ had a bad shooting night. And took some horrible shots. But without him we are probably 1-5 right now. He is the only player off of the bench bringing anything so far this season. Well maybe Ellson who's looked pretty good at times as well.

How can you mention C.J Miles hustling, and then say Ronnie Price sucks?
If anybody on this team is known for hustle, it's Price.

Easy. Miles does not suck he is an NBA talent that was playing hard. Price runs around like a chicken with his head cut off and can't find his way into the offense. He is a decent player if you are only using him as a last resort when the rest of your team is playing without energy. But playing him significant or consistent minutes is stupid.
 
I don't agree with the bad C.J. Miles comments.

I don't remember anyone saying things like this last year during the playoffs, when C.J. was putting up 10-15 points a game.

You've lost it buddy.

I would be willing to bet that Ronnie Price has equal to, if not more athletic leaping and jumping ability as Miles.

When is the last time C.J. Miles dunked on anybody, except for my NBA 2k10 photos ;-)

Who cares about dunks? Price can't shoot, can't pass, and can't run the offense as a PG. He is a SG in a PG body that also can't shoot. He's got all the skills to be a....well nothing that I can think of for an NBA player. He's basically a less talented Brewer, at least Brewer had the size to be a SG Price does not even have that.
 
I loved the Miles pass to Millsap off the rim to send the game into overtime. If he didn't miss by so far Miami wins. But you can count on the clanker to clank. 0 for 6 from three tonight.

haha. I just clicked on this thread to make a remark about Miles' "pass." Millsap has seen enough clunkers to know that CJ's shot was likely going to miss. At least Miles drew iron and didn't hit soemone in the head. Can KOC pull a rabbit out of his hat and make a Korver-like trade? I sure hope so. I just wanna see Miles GONE!
 
CJ Miles -- who had two points in the first 38 minutes -- scored six straight for Utah to start a rally...

He's pretty much the only reason we won tonight.
 
Bunch of box score watchers. Miles obviously shot poorly, but he was big in the 4th, was great in the passing game, and played solid into the OT. His first half was absolutely putrid. But naturally his bouncing back from that will get ignored because of the box score.

Except I watched the entire game and haven't even glanced at a box score. He hasn't played well in 7 out of 8 quarters and you're here telling us that we haven't been watching the games, and that we're a bunch of box score watchers. Right.

So, does tonight's performance equal out to his one-out-of-three-games that he shows up for? I bet it does. Back to sucking walrus tusk for next game. Book it.

If you watched tonight's game, you saw him suck in the 2nd quarter. You saw him play very well in the 4th quarter. You saw him play solid in the OT. Am I missing something?

As to your brilliant "quarters" argument, I have no response. Quarters? All I know is we haven't had a sub put up games like OKC and Toronto in ages. Those games were fantastic games for any player in the league. His inconsistency is maddening, but I'm inclined to give a player leeway when he can put up games like that. You know, maybe give him 10 whole games in his new role. By 11, of course, I'll completely agree he's totally worthless.
 
Miles is who he is. He is going to have good games, good quarters, then stinker games, stinker quarters. Just because he was inserted into a sixth man role does'nt mean that anyone should expect the moon out of him. I am hopeful though that Okur would come back and take some of those low percentage shots away from Miles and then we might have something interesting off the bench. I think a Price-Miles-Okur-Fesenko/Elson bench would be a bit more consistent.
