Appreciate that we are even on this stage, where 26 other teams wish they were. Loser mentality to bag on these players despite all that they've accomplished, especially when none of us have been on any stage close to that.

26 other teams do not wish to be the first team in NBA history to blow a 3-0 lead. Let's go to the 26 other team forums and ask them if they wish to be the first team to blow a 3-0 lead in NBA history. You think they'll say yes? What have our current players (except UD) accomplished except losing on the biggest stages and historical futility? There hasn't been a championship parade in Biscayne Boulevard in a decade. There are no parades nor trophies for blowing 3-0 leads and losing in the conference Finals and Finals proper.


Game 7 with a chance to go to the Finals? Yea’, I think any org worth their weight would want to be here and appreciate the hard fought opportunity
Long Live Winnie. Mamba siempre

Jimmy had us 3 seconds from the NBA finals tonight after playing a terrible game. 3 seconds. Maybe he deserves a little more respect.

Man, had White not won it w/ that put back we'd have breathed a sigh of relief finally eliminating them to advance to the NBA finals. And we'd be praising & forgiving Jimmy.

In spite of how he performed he found a way to help get the lead. Took a lot of guts to drain those 3FT's to get us up. Unfortunately the ball just bounced in their favor in the end.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Jimmy played well at the end. It's an instant classic now. Can't let White take the narrative. Jimmy has to revenge next game or its White's series.

Tatum was 0-8 from three and Spo had Strus double/deny him the ball when he should’ve been focused on the inbounder. Tatum would’ve milked the clock dribbling into a rhythm shot.

I hope the Heat pull it out.

As a unit we are not playing to win. Way too inefficient. Tatum's numbers were horrendous. Boston's very lucky. Luck o' the leprechaun.

The pattern would indicate we're getting closer to success.

- a 3 away
- .1 seconds away
- win

Exactly. Progress. But we can improve a lot going forward.

Hope the team can find a way to recover from this absolute heartbreaker.

I’m excited to see how the team responds. Like, genuinely excited. They can lay an egg, or they can do the improbable and get a Game 7 win on the road.

After losing like that in Game 6, I’m ready for Game 7. Get back out there and fight for your lives.

Miami got Marcus Smart, one of the worst 3-point shooters Boston has, to take a contested, catch-and-turn 3-pointer with his momentum going away from the basket. That is a fabulous outcome for Miami. They couldn't have asked for a better scenario. Spoelstra hit the head on the nail: the ball just rimmed out to the worst possible place for Miami and the best possible place for Boston.

The idea Miami should have let Jayson Tatum catch the ball and take the final shot is nuts.

An absolutely horrific job by Adebayo here. There is no time left. Bam shouldn’t be at the foul line. There is no time left. Only way Clts win is with a tip in.

On no planet should he be this far away from the basket here. As soon as the ball leaves Smart’s hand, Adebayo has to get closer to the basket. A box out on Jaylen is still possible closer to the rim, his job is to make sure a tip doesn’t beat you. Max on ball doesn’t help- but he could have slid down to let Bam clean up. Simple hoops

Of course, Martin’s box out on Horford is impeccable.

Mistakes were made. We move on. There's much to tighten up.

Nuts? Guy was cold from three (0-8) which is where he would’ve shot it. I don’t believe in double teaming or switching in close games, you’re asking for something bad to happen. And Derrick White wasn’t really lucky. Smart was “smart” to take a quick shot, give his guys an opportunity for a put back in case of a miss. Both White and Tatum were there if need be.

Spo messed up, lot of nervous energy in his post game interview.

Return to Miami Heat
