After the game, Miller took to Twitter to make a bizarre suggestion for the Nets in their upcoming game 6 against the Bucks. According to Miller, the Nets should consider sitting Kevin Durant and James Harden and letting the Bucks win game 6.
I’m just going to throw this out there to see what the responses will be.. If your Steve Nash and the Nets, would you sit James Harden AND Kevin Durant in Game 6 because of the heavy minutes tonight, and push all your chips to the center of table for Game 7??

NBA fans immediately blasted Miller over his dumb idea.
@NBAonTNT please drug test Reggie tomorrow… it's likely not marijuana #InsideTheNBA https://t.co/wUm7SSFaIr

This is an excellent idea.
