Just need to go on a run soon

Hard to bang on them....refs are swallowing the whistle.  We should be happy Miami isn't up by 10

Only down 1 and I wouldn't say we are playing great. So can't complain too much.

But brown should not have thrown that "home run" pass

[jpotter33]

Feels like we need to match them when they play double bigs. Having Love out on the perimeter with the stretch big can really take advantage of Bam's lackluster rebounding, just as Timelord did.

Granted, that may require Joe to play Grant, which appears simply out of the question for whatever reason.

I seriously hope Joe just doesn't role 7 deep the rest of the way. That's not going to be sustainable.

The usual letting opponents hang with us in the first quarter. Oh and the refs.

Well swallowing the whistle for one team

[Phantom255x]

Hopefully the refs give us all the calls in the 2nd half

[celticinorlando]

Heat are an annoying team

[blink]

we aren't playing def at the same level we were in game 7 against philly.

why can't we just keep up the intensity?  it is frustrating

[gouki88]

We will. Either Butler will sit, or he will be run into the ground.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

PP IS IN!!!!!!!!

wow

[Phantom255x]

PP SIGHTING

[kraidstar]

We're generating far better looks than miami so far.

[Phantom255x]

I will say, it's close but we look like the better and more talented team. Just need to loosen it up at some point. Miami is definitely getting the whistle too

[celticinorlando]

Can’t guard butler

Can’t rebound

Turning it over
