We got robbed! Game 2 should have been ours!

I hate to say it, but game 2 should have been ours.

Lets go Perk, lets go OKC!

[droopdog7]

Can't cry about that.  We had a chance to close it out at home and didn't get it done.

Mental collapse on our part in games 6 and 7. Can't complain about the refs

[BadNewsBarnes]

It's true we can't blame the refs for games 6 & 7.  Game 2?  Oh, yes we can.  They screwed us and everyone watched it.

[CantBeRight]

It should have been.....

But we got to move on, we can't cry over spilt milk.

I can guarantee you this, however, we will be back. It might not be this same group of guys we have now, but we will be back.

[karimb]

I agree, I think besides game 2 and the technical calls in game 1 we have nothing to complain about.

Does not change what happened in game 2. Maybe no game 6 or 7 would have been needed. This kind of acceptance is what allows the refs and Stern to continue to do whatever they want

0 fouls for Lebron in this game as well is ridiculous.

[Smitty77]

Yes, we should expect ONE player to shoot more FT's than our entire team:-)

Come on now.

We simply have to make changes to be able to OVERCOME 5 opposing starters and 2 to 3 referees as we did in 2008.

Ray is likely gone.  He was mighty chummy with Juwan Howard after the loss tonight.  I will not be shocked to see him elsewhere, even Miami, next year.

You are right Nora.  If they would have done their jobs in game 2 we probably would've won the series.  Thus is life in Stern's NBA.  So do the Heat fans still think it was fixed now?

Agreed CanBeRight -  We will be back.  We took these guys to 7 games with no bench.  I think we re-tool - not re-build. 

From what we hear KG looks to be coming back.  Add a few pieces and we are in the running.  Love this team.

Celtic fans should be better than this. They sleep walked through game 6 and they had a double digit lead tonight

I know it's an emotional time right now, but I am in full agreement with this.  We won game 2.  Everyone knows it.  The series should have been over in 5.  We should not have been privy to the likes of shane battier and chris bosh burying our beloved team.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

As much as Game 2 was a big series changer, we can't ignore the fact that we blew game 6 and blew game 7 more. Couldn't be more proud of the team has accomplished. And yes, there was that one thing where it could've change the series entirely, but we still had our chances and couldn't capitalize.

I'm just proud of this team and couldn't wait what the future has for us.

We took a dump in game 6...ON OUR HOME FLOOR!  Come on, this series was ours and we gave it away.

We are talking about game 2! Game 6 was a different game had they won game 2 it might not even have happened. Yes, Game 6 was all C's fault, ok? Doesn't change how bad game 2 was reffed and pretty much gave Miami the win.

[GrandTheftRondo]

We were up 3-2 with an opportunity to win on our home court.

Game 2 does not matter.
