Mike Miller is 31, Juwan is 40. He shot 45% from 3 this year and is a good rebounder as well.

What do career numbers have to do with the bench for this finals?

Now, they have been HUGE. But coming in, and throughout the year, they alllllll sucked minus stretches of Chalmers.

He said he was retiring I think. Still he averaged 14, 5 and 3 throughout his career and can play when healthy, which was my point.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm yeah. You don't need to force shots after 4 seconds have ticked off the shot clock. Might as well say fuck it and inbound it to Miami. At least less time will roll off the clock.

OKC is not getting it done. Fact.

I'm rather surprised by it. I thought Miami was in trouble from the go.

A lot of upsets fans in these parts. It's understandable. However, you can hate on Miami, LBJ, the refs, etc...

OKC has played like garbage, especially in game 2 and game 4. It's unfortunate for them because game 2 is the only game that James Harden was awake. They still lost. Nobody to blame but themselves, but I also think their weaknesses were really overshadowed by how "sexy" their strengths were.

Man give it up. Miller can barely walk up and down the court. He isn't going to be healthy anytime soon.

That's not the point man, if healthy he is exactly what is needed for this team, he knocks down shots and rebounds well. He was brought there for that reason, that is the way that team was constructed.

Who else do you expect to do anything for OKC? Durant couldn't get open. He was too busy getting shoved around by Battier and Wade.

Westbrook shot 20-32....thats pretty damn good.

Also from what I remember, most of his forces where when the shot clock was running down (nobody could get open)

Dirk Nowitskki had great free throw percentages this year. He should be finals MVP

He still is 97 years old, and cant run up and down the court. There is a reason he played in about half the games.

Nailed it, everyone loved how they could score. It takes more than that to win a championship. Durant with 2 rebounds?

I'm a cry baby because I am bitching about the calls. Because the same fouls Miami is getting OKC is not and it has turned this series. It would be one thing if I was bitching and the game was being called the same way. It started in game 2 when KD did not get the call which was a foul then LBJ slapped the shit out of Russ on the rebound and that wasn't called.
Some of you have your blinders on and of course you think I am cry baby. Maybe I'm bitching too much but when a series is being ripped from a team by the refs you are going to get bitching.

He wasn't hurt all year, which was the point.

Not sure what point you are trying to make. On paper, okc's others are better than Miami's. So far in the series, Miami's others have made bigger contributions. That's it.

You are talking a hypothetical.

Mike Miller is not healthy. He cannot contribute to this Heat team. THAT is the only thing that matters. That is the point.

It's not a hypothetical Heat team. It's a real life team. The Heat are what they are. Mike Miller is not healthy. It is what it is.

I know. Imagine if he has his typical game shooting 42% with 5+ turnovers...

Miami by 15. He actually bailed OKC out tonight.

Um...

He played in 39 games, just over half. He wasn't healthy all year either.

He attempted 117 3's.

I guess I dont get your point.

Miamis guys outside the big 3 are nowhere near that of OKC. But, in this series they have been better. I admit that. But not this season, and not coming into this series.

And he's shooting 36% from 3 in the playoffs. So THAT is the Mike Miller the Heat have, if he is on the floor.
