  Problem with ridiculing Thomas here is that at worked the last game.  
Miller was on Walker for most of the second half and Antoine never took 
advantage of it.
Just like Thomas says in the article, he preferred to play on the perimeter.
Actually, if you think about it, if Miller was on Williams he'd probably be 
posted up more often and end up in foul trouble.  
Of Isiah's choices of players for Miller to guard (Williams, Pierce, Walker), 
as a Celtic fan I would prefer either of the other two options.  What are the 
chances of Miller picking up any fouls guarding Antoine?  On the other hand, 
can't you see Miller flopping every time Antoine comes near him getting 
Antoine in foul trouble instead?
