Nope. The big lineup got blown out.
Do you think it will happen?
Thoughts on if it happens?
I hope they don't tbh. We have a better chance if they play small even if they go to Ray Allen instead of Mike Miller.

It's not like their big lineup is that big anyways, tbh.
I see Spo trying to fight fire with fire and playing his three point shooters--so, lots of Allen, Miller, and Chalmers.
At this point Splitter isn't ready for anything more than the ten minutes he plays as tim's backup. Going big mean playing a ton of Diaw or Kawhi out of position and Green on Lebron.
...TP would go for 40+ against that lineup.
Nah, I think the adjustment will be to start Battier over Miller and put him on Manu. Heat will pray Battier can shoot better than 33% from 3 in Game 6. Hopefully for the Spurs, Battier stays in his slump preventing the Heat from spreading the floor, which is supposedly what Miller brought to the table. We'll see.
If the Heat do insert Anderson or Haslem back in the lineup, I'd like to see the Spurs stick with Manu. Like the Heat did with Splitter in Game 4, Spurs should force Birdman to be a force on the low block.
My bet is that Allen replaces Miller in the starting 5.
Allen or Miller in the starting lineup wouldn't really change our gameplan so much, I would say Mike Miller is more dangerous than Allen with how they've played so far.
We should still stick with Manu as our starter regardless, because he is far more effective as a starter than a sixth man. I remember when this was the polar opposite...
Stick with Manu in the Starting lineup regardless. This means the Heat have to deal with 4 outside shooters, and 4 shooters that can create their own shot (I include Kawhi in this category). Having four shooters on the floor left alot of room for Duncan to work down low and resulted in a 7-10 FG game from him as well.
