Yardbarker: Mike Miller

Lack of ball movement continues to plague the Wizards

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:58:52 -0500

More photos » by Nick Wass - AP Browse more photos » WASHINGTON --Stop me if this seems familiar. With just under five minutes left in the third quarter, the Wizards found themselves trailing the Suns by just six points. The lead had swelled to double digits, but a nice Wizards stretch had cut the lead down. Steve Nash missed a three-pointer, and Caron Butler snared the rebound. Advancing the ba...

Wizards lose badly to Pacers: Final wrap

Mike Miller Thugs It Out

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:43:52 -0500

Yeah, Wizards guard Mike Miller might have worsened his shoulder injury unnecessarily in last night’s loss to the Miami Heat, but isn’t that what macho, tough athletes do? Not in this city they don’t. Which is why it was refreshing to see that a newly-acquired Miller, known for shooting and good rebounding, injured and compounded the [...]

Wizards lose to Heat: Final wrap, including some questioning of Flip Saunders' in-game strategy

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:36:55 -0500

More photos » by Nick Wass - AP Browse more photos » It's true that a large reason (okay, fine, very large reason) last night's game against the Miami Heat was so frustrating was the outcome. To lose in the final seconds because of two missed free throws and two poorly-executed late-game plays against a team that you should probably beat really hurts. But the truth is, I don't think I would have...

Injury Bug Bites Wizards Again: Mike Miller Out 7-10 Days With A Sprained Shoulder

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:34:11 -0500

Well, it’s not the end of the world, but it isn’t exactly what Wizards fans want to hear either … especially after a loss. Miller originally injured his left, non-shooting shoulder less than a minute into the third quarter and looked to be in a lot of pain. He sat on the bench for a couple [...]

Trade with Minnesota looking good so far

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:02:54 -0500

We told you, you'd like this deal. (Photo by Toni L. Sandys/The Washington Post) Did you realize that Mike Miller is leading the Wizards in rebounding? I was looking at the stats after the first three games and noticed that Miller has a team-high 29 rebounds, with 21 coming in the past two games. The Wizards were aware when they acquired Miller that he brought more to the game than just perimeter shooting. Coach Flip Saunders likes to remind people that Miller led all shooting guards with...

Last night's loss may have dampened some of the praise that the team had been receiving before the game, but I still like where this team is headed.

Mike Miller's Choice Of Sneaker Won't Be Tolerated In Washington

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:30:00 -0500

During the off-season there were many trades made just for the sake of making a trade. One of which brought Mike Miller to the Washington Wizards. All reports point to the Wizards really loving the addition of Miller because of his unselfish play. Which makes perfect sense because there isn't much room for another player to come in and jack up shots. Arenas, Butler, and Jamison have that market cornered. But enough of what the Wizards have liked about Mike Miller. Let's talk about...
