Quick semi-sidebar… why is James Jones not getting any minutes anymore? I know Miller is playing better, looking healthier again, but Jones has been their best shooter all season long. Is it just a matchup issue because Miami’s super small lineup doesn’t work so hot against a team with bigs that can actually score(sorry Chicago)?’
Edit: he wasn’t even getting play time vs Chicago so fuck that theory… what the fuck?

Plus Miller is no defensive upgrade over James Jones.
The reason is twofold: Miller is a better all-around player, and the big 3 are each getting a few more minutes per game in the postseason which takes away about 10-15minutes of bench players being in the game.
I dunno if Chandler is expecting something else, but why has he not been at the rim for help D at all tonight? Why is he giving Haslem/Anthony that kind of respect staying so far from the paint?
