Mike Miller taking great pains to help Miami Heat succeed

Splayed out on his back next to the Heat’s bench, Mike Miller leaned laboriously on one elbow when Heat coach Erik Spoelstra signaled for him to reenter Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The expression on Miller’s face — fresh, able — belied the pain.

Mario Chalmers had just picked up his fifth foul with more than seven minutes to play in the fourth quarter, and Miller was needed one last time.

He was ready, but there was one problem: Miller was having a hard time getting up.

With the help of a few teammates, Miller lifted himself slowly off the court and hobbled gingerly to the scorer’s table. It was the gait of an old man, hunched over, testing his back, relearning its weaknesses.

Miller checked into the game and provided a stopgap defensive effort for four crucial minutes. He entered the game with his team leading by eight points, and when Chalmers slapped his hand and checked back in with 3:27 to play, the Heat still led by the same margin. Finally, Miller’s night was done.

Dwyane Wade was magical Thursday in the Heat’s 105-93 victory against the Pacers in Indianapolis, and LeBron James gave another masterful performance. But it was Miller’s heart and determination that defined Miami in its close-out game of the second-round series. Shorthanded with the losses of Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem, Miller provided 22 minutes and made four important three-pointers for 12 points. Entering the game, he only had 10 points in the entire series.

With Haslem, the Heat’s inspirational co-captain, suspended and watching the game in a hotel room, Miller provided a little of his own gritty determination in a difficult road playoff game against an opponent fighting desperately to remain alive.

“It was a collective effort by everyone [Thursday night],” Miller said. “We definitely miss [Haslem], and we can’t wait to have him back.”

Miller and Haslem have been friends since college and, on the surface, they’re an odd pair. Haslem is from Liberty City. Miller is from Mitchell, South Dakota. Peel back the unimportant exteriors, however, and you couldn’t find two more similar people — understated, family first, always willing to sacrifice.

After Game 6, Wade called Miller perhaps the toughest player on the Heat’s team. That’s normally a description reserved exclusively for Haslem.

“You just do what you got to do,” said Miller when asked about fighting through the pain.

Miller’s back isn’t the only thing hurting him right now. There are other injuries that will be addressed after the playoffs. He was in so much pain during Games 5 and 6 that he chose to lie down next to the Heat’s bench rather than sit in a chair.

Still, Miller’s textbook-perfect shot held true for a key three-pointer with 32 seconds left in the third quarter of Game 6. It gave the Heat a seven-point lead. On the Heat’s next possession, Chalmers stroked a three-pointer at the buzzer to put Miami up 10.

“It’s all about opportunity,” Miller said. “The first couple of games, they weren’t giving me very good looks. [Thursday], I got some open looks, knocked them down and actually missed a few I should have made, I felt.”

Spo is preparing like he's not expecting Bosh to be back for the conference finals. Doesn't mean he won't play but he's not close

Ray Allen says he wants to play for the Heat next year, i hope not. Heat don't need another shooter, they need guards who can put the ball on the floor and create shots. Wouldn't mind KG at all though, he would fit right into the Heat system.

Pat Reily needs to do one thing and one thing only....sign Nash. They'd be unstoppable.

Chalmers and the Heat better not give this fool Rondo these wide open lanes and play off on him like other lanes. If he drives and scores, then fine but you can't allow this fool to get wide open passing lanes. Its' not like anyone beside Pierce can get their own shot.

Have Chalmers press Rondo
put Battier on Pierce for the first 3 quarters then put Lebron on him.

That's probably the plan especially since Bass doesn't even stay in the paint so he won't be wearing Lebron down

usmarin3 · May 2012

The Celtics lack of size and post play, plays right into the Heats hands. Lebron and Wade are gonna live at the line and paint scoring.

A jump shooting team against the Heat?? C'mon son...Shuttlesworth and Rondo are going get eaten alive by Wade....PP on Bron? SMH 5 games tops.

paul pierce plays lebron well. rondo will easily outplay chalmers

this series will depend on shuttlesworth and KG. as good a shooter as he is, ray allen is notorious for going ICE COLD for whole games. KG will have to take advantage of bosh being gone. 20+ points 8-10 rebs in every game or go fishing.

neither team has a bench to be feared.

He dont have the quickness to do it tho..
I do agree tho i hate when they let him pass the ball freely..
