It's partly the bulls eye thing but it's also happening because we don't play hard on defense to start games. You give NBA players confidence and let them get into a good rhythm, they will punish you later on even when you're starting to try to play harder. Almost all NBA players have talent, you can't disrespect them and expect to make a late comeback every time. It would work sometimes, but a lot of times it won't. Like yesterday.

This and this!
And what about Lebron taking only 15 shots in this game?! For me 15 shots are redicuolus considering that Wade didn't play, so he should have taken more shots and try to take over the game! Why the hell did he insist to pass the basketball when your teammates are'nt making their shots, so to the hell his percentage for one game and try to take more shots!

Well, I think there's a chicken-and-the-egg thing here, because teams are only able to jump on us in part because they come out fired up every night. Most basketball games, you don't see teams going 100mph from the opening tip. Regardless, it's definitely true that we have an energy problem in general and a teams-are-gunning-for-us problem, and both of those feed into one another.

edit: we also need to keep some perspective here when talking about Miami's "problems." We are on a 64-win pace right now. That might be a little inflated by soft, home-heavy schedule, but it's also somewhat deflated by guys in and out of the lineup, integrating a major new piece (Beas), figuring out rotations, Lebron's back problems, and the fact that it's still basically extended training camp for Miami. We have 4 losses, and 2 of them came without Wade, and 1 of the two with Wade, we had a lead with less than 2 seconds remaining. We're doing alright.

I hope people realize that LeBron is still injured and having problems with his back and now his finger. Maybe you want him to be Derrick Rose and not pay attention to his body and over compensate. I would much rather he coast now, only doing what his body safely allows him to do, than push himself beyond his limits for a meaningless game in December.

I'm not sure people understand that a back injury can be a serious thing. LeBron IS human, he needs rest too.

I know we did bad and we did bad at 4th quarter too..when bosh,lbj and chalmers entered the game. The 20-4 run was with brid and allen balling. When spo take out bird and allen for chalmers and rio we got down. But yhea. They should had played like mans for 48m.

If Bosh wasn't soft, he would use this as motivation. It should get him frustrated and maybe he should go grab a damn rebound or make wide open shots. This mentality is why everyone calls him soft. MAN UP. You're upset because teams play you hard? What the hell do you expect guy you're back to back champs with 3 all-stars!! Of course everyone is going to play you hard!!!

This and this!

lol, I said the same thing and these guys called me a troll for calling out LeBron on worrying about his shooting percentage too much. No wade, and you only take 15 shots? No wade, and Bosh isn't the second leading scorer? Come on man. Those are problems that go way beyond just them losing a game against the Pistons; that's coaching. If the front court of the PISTONS can have their way with the Heat, then what next? Bosh needs to MAN UP. That's the truth there.

You two are entirely too upset about this one game and yet when they win I don't see you guys anywhere near the game thread.

Chalmers boiled my blood yesterday and should have never come back in the 4th.
Also Bron's TO rate is becoming alarming. He just isn't playing smart and it's concerning

I am usually a lurker, enjoying all you guys comments. But that loss pissed me off so much I had to come in and join the fun. Again, please do NOT mistake this as me just being upset that we lost a game. My frustration is more than being as simple as that. It has to do more with how the team is playing in general, and nothing really to do with so much as to losing 1 game.

I will agree that it's frustrating and Bosh is really annoying me right now but it's a long season and there's time to sort things out.
