PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland Trail Blazers forward Darius Miles has been excused from the team after the passing of his maternal grandfather, Willie Miles Sr., this morning in East St. Louis, Ill.
Miles will miss tonight’s game vs. San Antonio and Sunday’s game vs. the Los Angeles Clippers and is expected to rejoin the team next week, pending funeral arrangements.
I obviously feel bad for the guy but you can't use that as any type of excuse...it takes 30 seconds to call coach Mac or another member of the team and tell them you are missing shootaround due to a family issue. If he was to busy he should have had someone else make the call.Schilly said:Perhaps he had word of his his grandfathers health as of night before yesterday. Perhaps (not an excuse) it may be part of the reason he missed shoot around, and neglected to call. He was preoccupied with a family situation.
Exactly why I said not an excuse.sa1177 said:I obviously feel bad for the guy but you can't use that as any type of excuse...it takes 30 seconds to call coach Mac or another member of the team and tell them you are missing shootaround due to a family issue.

Mom? Mom? is that you...? :uhoh:The Sebastian Express said:Actually it was a pretty classless post considering what this thread is about. There are other times to insult him, you shouldn't do so in a thread that tells us of his grandfather's passing.

That's no excuse to not call. He just knows nothing will happen to him so why follow the rules. Until a players contract can be terminated due to broken rules, this stuff will continue to happen. What's a 10k fine when you make like 100 k a game? one less lb of bud in miles case I guess.
Yeah, alot of the stuff in oregon is garbage. I'm thinking that miles might go after some of the best he could get. that stuff can run about 6-700 a oz. That stuff would blow anything you can find in oregon away.ColoradoBlazerFan said:That's kinda spendy for a pound. You'd think he'd get a better deal in Oregon and all...
