If the Miami Heat go ahead and decide to start Mike Miller in Game 4 of the NBA Finals while down 2-1 against the San Antonio Spurs, it would spell desperation for Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra.
According to ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst, the Heat could start Miller in place of the offensively struggling Udonis Haslem, who despite great defense during the series has become a liability on the offensive end.
The hope here is that Miami can spread the floor enough to make things tougher for the Spurs' talented defense and possibly open up the paint for guys like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. San Antonio has done an excellent job of keeping both out of the paint, so the Heat are adjusting.
