Seriously. did rivers think Wade wasn't going to out firing. After the first two 3's of the 4th you have to send instant double teams. I know theguy hit some amazing shots, but rivers you have to realize the guy wasn't going down that easily. I wanted this team swept. No need for extra games. Great players can't be allowed extra opportunities. I think Wade is spent and this game for Miami was about Pride, but like i said we should've finished them off today.

Can't blame Doc at all.

Heat don't win games with Wade shooting 3's.

You have to live with Wade shooting 3's. (1 guy can't win against a team)

5 missed FT's, a missed layup...that cost us much more than Wade jacking 3's.

Eh...I'm not really gonna put the blame on Doc for this one.

Wade was in "the zone".  When the greats are in the zone, its nearly impossible to counteract it. 

C's had to get things done on the offense end down the stretch and they didn't.

Wade was Superman today.  A lot of his 3's were defended well.  Not much you can do against a guy like that when he gets it going.  He's one of the best at splitting double teams, so it may not have helped much anyway.

We just witnessed a great, great player lay 47 points on us. Couple that with too many turnovers and some missed free throws and there you have it. Relax, it's just one game. This is over on Tuesday.

The Heat were hitting shots from everywhere. I'm surprised the game ended up being as close as it was.

Let's get ready for the next one.

I wonder if he'll stay in Miami or go to a team like Chicago.  Just so long as he and LBJ don't end up together in NYC, I'll be content.

i never gave a lot of credence to the belief that the NBA office directly or indirectly influences their officials to extend playoff series for the sake of television $$$$$$.

but dwayne wade was barely touched on a lot of those foul calls against the Celtics ............ as if the officials were determined to at least give miami all the chances they could to win this game.

it looked pretty blatant to me.

The bigger question to me, is what is Eric Spolestra thinking about next game?  His game plan in the 4th was basically, let Wade launch contested threes. 

He got lucky. 

He better have something way better next game.

There may not be enough basketballs for both of them, but could you imagine trying to guard that team?

Exactly, the Celtics were in a position to get the game tied but didn't hit free throws or make a wide open lay up.

You can't blame that on Doc.
