I hope the Heat keep this streak alive up until they face the Nets next week. That would be classic watching the Nets losing to them.

Bennett would have had Wade on that line at least 3 or 4 times towards the end... Dick was having none of that..

If it was any consolation, Bennett was probably blowing his whistle from his couch...

We all know LeBron gets that call. :lol:

13 out of our 15 losses are games we've been IN in. We just find ways to lose them. :banghead:

he was ettling for jumpshots for like 3 straight possessions before that last one. it was a good decision to drive. too bad the refs reserve the calls during games that really matter.

On that last replay that was a really blatant foul actually...at first glance it didn't look that bad. The Refs act like they want to let the players decide the games, but by not blowing whistles they ARE deciding the damn games.

Annoying

Wade clearly got fouled across the arm by edward scissors hands on that final play. It happens, but the Spurs should have lost that game.

Whats the longest nba losing streak? I remember Grizzlies losing 23 but not sure if that's the longest.

Are Heat fans seriously complaining about refs? Shouldn't there be at least a 5 year moratorium on that after their Finals win?

Let me know when Cleveland wins a title.

(aka never since LeBron is leaving in 2010)

Ricky Davis has been given every opportunity to step up and play the hero alongside DW and in every big game he's wasted it. What happened to him being a clutch player? He made a lot of "choke" mistakes tonight.

Who didn't see this coming. The Heat are the joke of the league and the Spurs are the defending champs. I knew the Heat would find a way to lose it in the end.

That was a foul but maybe the Heat should shoot better then 2 for 10 down the stretch and hold on to the lead instead of having to try to hit a game winner and putting the game in the refs hands.

Yeah.

I'm not that pissed because I've come to expect that from Bruce Bowen.

Did you guys see Kobe get hacked the ENTIRE game last night? :nonono:

At least 9 of those 13 losts would be wins if MJ was on this team instead.

Losing is never a good thing. It gets to you mentally.

Are you mentally distraught ?

The difference in the end was the basket that the Heat made for the Spurs in the 1st qtr.

Not to answer for him because it's not my business, but he shouldn't be.

He got to witness his team winning a title just two years ago.

1 Title + 1 horrible year >>> being swept in the Finals + mediocracy.

There's too much ref talk in general. That doesn't mean the majority of it's wrong or lacks credibility, but wow.

Reputations and aggressiveness, relating to players and teams come into play with certain calls. That's how it's been and is. Then, in general, the refs can't get it right every time because of the speed. They're human and try to make up for it afterwards.

I'm probably in the minority of who thought Salvatore was fine on that Wade call in between Harris and Dirk in the finals. There was noticable contact.
