    Default Why is Mike Miller not getting any minutes?

    It's astounding that Mike Miller and James Jones aren't getting any minutes. These guys are sharpshooters and in the case of Mike Miller a decent defender and rebounder. I think this is actually one of the reasons why Lebron is struggling to finish around the paint along with declining athleticism.

    Because he can't guard anyone and he'll get hurt. It's a miracle he managed 20mpg last season... and that was with an elite defensive team around him.

    Because Cleveland's players don't move the ball enough to create open looks for him. As soon as Dion touches the ball you know a contested pull up jumper is coming within 2 seconds.
    Even when he has gotten decent looks this season he can't seem to cash in on them.

    Mike Miller is a decent defender and he was so good last year. 45% shooting from 3, he's the perfect fit for Lebron's game.

    They're better off playing Lebron less minutes. He's starting to show a lot of wear on his body, you can't keep on putting this much toll/workload on him.

    Considering Jones has only appeared in 20 reg. season games last season for the Heat, I'd be surprised if he surpassed that with the Cavs this season.

    He's appeared in 3 games so far and is 2-4 from the field. All 4 FGA have been from 3pt land.

    Miller is a guy who doesn't need to work his way into the system, you know exactly what he's gonna do, so he doesn't need to waste energy and injure himself to do what he knows when these other guys NEED to learn to play together. One of the few decisions of Blatt I agree with. Or maybe he thinks he's a scrub and isn't playing him for terrible reasons.

    Yeah, like everybody said, saving him for the playoffs. He's been battling with back problems for the past 5 seasons now, even said he contemplated retirement. I think last season he was healthy for once.
