Wade/Miller/James/Bosh/UD, this is the lineup we waited for

[EscapoTHB]

We should put Mike on ice until the playoffs. It's clear we're a much better team with him out there playing at 100 percent, and as injury prone as he is, we shouldn't risk him getting hurt in the regular season.

Let's sit LeBron, Wade and Bosh as well. No sense taking any unnecessary risks.

I would never hire you as a coach.

This is the Miller we all envisioned in the summer of 2010...


Dalembert would have been perfect here too, averaging 12 and 13 and 3blks PER 36 over in HOU

Now that would be unfair...here is to hoping Houston somehow declined his team option during the offseason.

I think Spo is doing the right thing in using this lineup sparingly. If we start using it too much during the regular season opposing coaches will learn how to better prepare for it.

This lineup needs to be treated as a secret weapon come playoff time IMO. It causes too many match-up issues for opposing teams to adjust to on the fly.

Mike Miller is quietly becoming the Heat's best bench player. If MM keeps this consistency up (which in his case means staying healthy) and Haslem gets his jumper back we're looking at the most fearsome lineup in the league right here.

He's having a very efficient season thus far averaging 7.1 ppg and shooting 60% from the field (3P% is 55%)

Mike Miller can get much better. As he continue to get in shape and add to his game, he should average double figure scoring. I glad to see some appreciation for what he brings to this team.

We need Battier to either start hitting his wide open 3's or never put him and Joel in at the same time. Its bad enough going 4 on 5 offensively, with Battier it sometimes is 3 on 5. His defense is valuable, but if he cant hit open shots we should play MM more instead.

cmon dude, so he can lose his rhythm and try to get himself established AGAIN? I'm guessing Spo right now isn't playing JJ for that same reason (which he isn't...). I don't want him injured again, but waiting for him to play til the playoffs is such a bad idea. Our bench needs him.

But Miller should get more playing time. When he shoots, he's efficient. LOVE his catch and shoot. He isn't bricking wide open 3's for obvious reasons either. He's become a bit automatic lol.

If UD gets his jumper back, that ending line up would be SO deadly. Also Haslem not getting stripped... or blocked by guards...

[HeatFanSince87]

Mike Miller is very disrespected by most nba fans. I Love him as a player and wished he played for my bulls.

I agree and don't understand it. Even last seasons playoff run, when his shot was off(due to injury) I still loved what he brought to the team. All out hustle, energy, rebounding...luv it.

No way they do that. Plus next year we can only offer the mini-MLE anyway. He's not coming here for that.

Dalembert has been great for the Rockets this year. He has an ORB% of 15.4 and a BLK% over 6. He's exactly what we needed.

Or they could just go zone and have our team react as if its the first time we have ever faced a zone defense.

Miller is not getting much better than this. He has a 74 TS%. That's going to regress downward not upward.

We need Battier to either start hitting his wide open 3's or never put him and Joel in at the same time. Its bad enough going 4 on 5 offensively, with Battier it sometimes is 3 on 5. His defense is valuable, but if he cant hit open shots we should play MM more instead.

UD needs to be added to the offensively inept list until he can hit a shot at all. He's bogged down the offense even more than Joel this year because at least Joel won't shoot the shots he can't make. UD keeps throwing up bricks.

You have to shoot yourself out of a "slump" in practice, not in games.
