Probably weŽll see them getting some minutes to see what happens, Cavs dont have too many choices.
If Schumpart is off and JR Smith is having yet another re game, will LeBron and Blatt go with Mike Miller off the bench? Give Marion a sniff?
We saw Greg Popovich selfishly keep his pet Porker in all the Clippers games including the 4th quarter of Game 7, with Tim Duncan standing by like Poppeds cuck. You saw the result.
LeBron? "We're going to play our game," James said before practice Saturday. "We've gotten to this point by playing the way we play, and we're not going to change. We'll make adjustments throughout the game, but we won't change our starting lineup."
Same starting lineup. Ok. How soon will LeBron summons Miller.

Ya JR Smith will probably be 1st guy off the bench again. I do not agree with that. He's had 4 games to show he is still a re . I would give Smith about 60 seconds. If he misses his first trey chuck and or does one of his moron fouls (fouling the shooter when the dunk is 9/10ths down the rim), he's gone.
Agree Miller and Marion will be given a sniff "to see what happens", but if Miller clanks a couple then LeBron will probably go back immediately to JR Smith.
Marion is atrocious, tbh..Miller can play, but he'll probably get hurt 2 minutes into his stint..
Desperation time....
We'll probably see both tonight. Heard a few minutes ago that Marion "suffered an injury" in the ECF....and that was the first time that I heard about this phantom injury.
Marion is unofficially retired. Mike should get some burn though
lebron is at shootaround with a backpack . could the proverbial monkey on his back be inside the backpack?
Marion's D is still solid I think and Miller's 3 can bring some change to their game at least, and their experience is of considerable value for this team imho.
Why has Blatt refused to play Marion and Miller at all in the finals? They both played consistent minutes in the season so I would have though they would get some court time, even if it was limited.
Who is that white guy on their bench? Literally any warm body with an NBA skill would be an upgrade over Shump/Delly
A healthy backup is better then a 50% gassed starter.
Blatt and LeBron with the Moronovich-Parker thinking.
Delly completely sucked on O and D.
Esp the 4th qtr.
Its like 5 on 4, Warriors were just sagging off Delly and he made zero attempt to play O. Just dumped it off to LeBron and stood around.
why not play marion and put him on someone for teh defense...
With as lame a 4th as Delly played, Marion or even the rookie would have been better.
Dellys zero offense, and by that i mean not just zero points but zero doing anything with the ball simply gave Curry a breather on D.
I don't understand why they aren't giving Miller some burn - particularly at the expense of the awful Shumpert.
What Lebron needs to do is ask himself what Peyton would do and then do the opposite.
Miller played in Games 2 and 3. Only played in Game 4 in garbage time. He just didn't do anything with his minutes.
