Mike Miller's Unlucky Thumb

 Mike Miller came to Miami with a fresh cut & ready to nut open threes night after night with the Heat. Now a freak injury to his right thumb will keep him sidelined at least through the start of the season. 
 As if playing with the Timberwolves, Grizzlies & Wizards hasn't been bad enough, it might be even worse to sit on the sidelines and not be a part of the excitement with the revamped Heat. All those easy open looks that LeBron & Bosh will create will now go to reserve James Jones.
 Miller finished second in shooting from downtown last year at 48% with none of his teammates drawing attention away from him. How much easier would his job be with the Heat? Who's staying home to guard Miller with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade & Chris Bosh on the court? 
 Miller needs some of that mamba venom because Kobe would probably just tape the thumb up and keep playing.
