[...] This is easily Trey Kerby’s favorite move ever. I have no idea why so many people fall for this every time does it, but Brad Miller, who has the foot speed of a snake, is able to go by much quicker players constantly just by using an exaggerated shot fake.

How is this Roy’s fault exactly? He’s a traditional big man guarding a big man who has become more and more of a outside player as his career has gone on. Plus he was on fire. Even wide open, I would not put money on Brad Miller hitting 3 3′s in a row. Why didn’t they put Hibbert on Scola who is more of a post player and has attempted one 3 all season? Plus they should have been feeding Hibbert the ball on offense to punish the Rocket’s small lineup.

It’s hardly news that Roy isn’t goint to be very effective guarding permineter oriented big men.

Zach’s scale would have said that Brad Miller was keeping Roy somewhere between Michael Olawahibbert and playing 4 on 5.
