If the Cavs win this game, it is a perfect example of why teams always think they can beat us and end up hating us. The Cavs played like crap for large parts of this game and then turned up the defense in the 4th to take the lead

Boy that looked easy for LeBron. You know he wants to take the shot, you know he wants a layup so what do you do, you give him a dunk.

I always hate when they mention Mo's free throw shooting. It always means he misses one

Not a bad win at all, though we could have played much better. Too many careless turnovers. We slacked off in the 3rd quarter to a point where we were in a pretty big deficit. Our defense is what won us the game however. Varejao, Mo, and LeBron all made some big plays down the stretch. Got to give them their props. Our next game is on Wednesday at home against Milwaukee. Hopefully we'll sign Joe Smith by then..

Yup if Joe is playing on Wed the Q will go crazy

Great road win given the back to back and how hot Miami was to start the 4th

Great defensive adjustment by Mike B. to trap Wade. He was saving it for the 4th qtr and the Heat players weren't ready for it.

I want to know what was up with LeBron and his three's tonight......he's never on like that (6/7 from 3). Great win. Varejao showed up big time in the 4th.

If you don't guard LeBron at the 3, he can light it up

As long as he doesn't take those off balance heat checks he can kill you from 3

Coach finally figured it out..

Trap Wade.. Even when he tried to force the split on the double, he turned it over....And more importantly on offense ---> LeBron and Mo setting screens for each other down the stretch..Much, much, MUCH better than AV setting it... More potent for sure...

Little adjustments like that neutralized the Heaters...

Wade is still fun to watch though...

A bit random but damn I am excited for Wednesday to get Smith back... We have a big game against Boston on Friday. Definitely will need Joe.

Best win of the year IMO. 4th game in 5 nights after a grueling game last night in ATL and being stuck in the plane sitting on the runway all night long. Miami is a tough tough team and we just completely shut them down in the 4th. Credit to the coaching staff for the defensive adjustments. Wade was helpless against the double team. Oh and that dunk by LeBron was flat out filthy. Huge win!

Damn Mo Williams. He should have been a Heat last year but he went for the money in Milwaukee. Grr!!!! Would have had healthy Wade, Shaq wouldn't have quit and a good PG. Damn him, Damn him to hell!!! :evil:

:o It was simply amazing. It reminded me of the posterization of KG in the ECF last year and the one he did on Sheed two years ago in the playoffs.
