NBA Playoff Standings 2013: Mike Miller May Start In Game 4 For The Heat, David Robinson Wants Tim Duncan To Win Another Title

Jun 13, 2013 04:20 PM EDT

The Miami Heat are looking to bounce back after a blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3, they'll possibly look to Mike Miller to help jump start their offense in Game 4, according to ESPN.

Thus far Miller is 10-of-11 shooting on 3-pointers in the Finals and 50 percent from behind the arc in the postseason.

If Heat coach Erik Spoelstra decides to make the change, Miller will likely replace Udonis Haslem in the starting lineup to give the Heat more space to stretch the floor for the shooters. This will help the Heat as the Spurs have proven successful in crowding the paint over the series' first three game, cramping the rhythm and driving space for LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

If this comes to be James could end up starting the game as the Heat's defensive center and spend time guarding Tim Duncan.

Duncan had his best performance in Game 1 with 20 points and 14 rebounds, but since then it was the younger Spurs like Danny Green, Gary Neal and Kawhi Leonard playing bigger roles.

Duncan's ex-teammate David Robinson understands that Duncan's window for a fifth championship is closing, but would like to see him win another one before he retires.

"I was fortunate to end my last game on a win. I'd love to see that for Tim," Robinson said. "I don't know if this will be his last year. If they win it this time, there's nothing to say they can't win it again next year."

Robinson continued:

"He sees his limitations starting to come up and says, 'Hey, Tony can carry this team just as well," Robinson said. "We give him good support, we're still going to win and we all get the credit. So I think we just have smart players. There's only one agenda on this team, and it's been that way for 20 years."
