I'd start him again - but if Miami changes up and goes bigger with Haslem or Andersen, I'd sub in Splitter or Diaw.
Or is it a gimmick that really only worked in Game 5 and wouldn't work so well a second time?
I see no reason why it would be a bad idea, but I hope Ginobili doesn't revert to committing many turnovers and missing open shots like he did in Games 1-4.

I don't think it's a gimmick. Miami's constructed as a small ball team without a traditional center and has too much speed and athleticism for Splitter to deal with. Splitter did a fine job against the big bruisers from Memphis, but this match up is completely different. Plus, having Manu on the floor while Miami's defense has to worry about Duncan, Parker, and two 3 point shooters is a big plus for him.
Yes, if Miami goes small again. It's simply a question of matchups.
IMO they are going back to playing their bigs game 6. Bosh has broken down and needs some help.
they will probably start Haslem and play bigbird some too which would have Pop go back to his regular rotation
Maybe he'll start Diaw this time if MIA goes back to their big lineup, he's playing pretty well out there, much better than Splitter.
heat coach knew it was coming said so
yeah but he didn't know Manu is going to make an actual impact
With Manu back on track I don't think it will matter if he starts or comes off the bench. He will get his. Pop will adjust to whatever Spo does.
Just put him in before he starts over thinking things.
