I'm surprised at how good he looked coming back. With Haslem back the Heat are truly scary, and he might be enough to put the Heat over the Bulls. In my opinion this is almost as significant as OKC getting Perkins.

He will get a little rest b4 game 3, and if the coaches don't overwork him in practice, he should be good to go in game 3

Yeah, the Heat with a working Haslem and Miller would really be scary.

The nice thing about Haslem is some of the biggest things he provides (crisp defensive rotations, boxing out for rebounds, hustle) aren't really dependent on how rusty he is. The only thing you might worry about is his jumper.

That, and his conditioning, although that will only improve over time.

If Miller wasnt such a good rebounder he would be useless. After this series, win or lose, he should just work hard on rehab and recover for next season

Haslem always prove me right. I called it a week ago. People dont remember that this guy was the Heat starting big man for 8 years now. Him and Wade have great chemistry and friendship and it seemed before his injury that he was finishing nice plays when LeBron passed him the ball. I've been telling everyone that the Heat haven't even reached its full potential yet. Guys like Haslem and Miller are essential to the Heat success for years to come if healthy
