Game 1 Post Game NBA Finals

[WadeInTheWater]

Why is Wade injury a valid excuse? Watch Wade play. When he wants to attack, he can. Its not like KG where you could tell he was giving it his all and the body wasn't letting him go any further. Can anyone honestly say by watching WADE that his playing his heart out?

Doesn't look like it to me and it pisses me off, alot. He needs to make smart decision and this sissy, pussy ass coach needs to grow a pair and YELL at him. Who cares if he is D-Wade why is he exempt from criticism if he is making poor shot choices that kills team momentum?

[WD]

Did you guys see Fisher make a lay up on Wade?

The not washed up version of Wade would have left Fisher with a Spalding imprint on his ugly a** head.

There was another where he tried to crossover Fisher and then missed a closer bank shot.

That's when I knew we're screwed.

I have to agree about Wade being Washed up, there's no other way to describe it. If he is hurt, he is not saying, so washed up is correct. What else can be said.

Really, why would he say? Washed up, SERIOUSLY?

This was a disappointing loss for sure and there are many, many issues that need to be fixed by the coaching staff. But we're still only down 1-0, that's nothing. Did you guys think the Mavs would come out and whoop our asses after Game 1 last year? We need to win on Thursday, otherwise we have to win three straight at home, but our situation can be overcome. We just have to hope Spo makes adjustments(please?).

This loss has little to do with WADE - I am not defending him, we played 7 guys tonight, our bench was Bosh and Miller - Our best shot blocker played 2 minutes, 3 other players that could have given our stars some rest never took off their warmups. STOP blaming the same guys, what did we do different when westbrook was driving to the basket? - NOT WHO did we use different, WHAT DID we do different?

No way. Your 100% wrong. This loss is on Wade who played like an idiot, who wanted the ball in his hands instead of Lebron, who took horrible shots, who was once again bitching at the refs.

Wade was not the only reason for the loss but he was the main one. You know Spo will be Spo so that played a role of courses but if Wade plays a good game he can mask Spo mistakes.[/quote]
You don't win championships by hoping your superstars can mask your coach's incompetence. Look at last year's finals to see how that works out.'

The Heat aren't panicking because they are looking for a split. They might have more urgency in game 2.

I mean they came out better than I thought, but I expect better in game 2.

We're going to win 4 in a row. WE GOT THIS YO

[WadeInTheWater]

Never count out the Miami Heat on home court where they can blow out anyone at will if they really want to. Steal one and hold home court which we do better than nearly anyone is all that's required. That's what i'll end on.

This is my biggest worry. This coach just used game 1 of the finals for experimenting.

If it's so easy to keep up that style of play for 46 minues whiles defending multiple positions and running the point sometimes, why don't we all play in the league But nah keep sticking to your media narratives.

KD also played 46 minutes in this game. He had 17 pts in the 4th. I don't see how the he played 46 mins excuse is valid.

[imchillin]

We have to choose one, is it westbrook or KD, who are we going to let go off? Can't be both

Look Wade is my favorite player but I'm not going to give him a pass for what he did six years ago. Wade is not playing smart. He cost us this game period.

WHOOOOAAAA did you guys know the fastbreak points were 24-4?

this is what we get for going up against another fast team, but Fisher even had some fast break points

they capitalized off the stupid turn overs and bad shots

they are definitely going to know that stat

[OtW]

Harden had 5 pts.

5 PTS!!!

And Westbrook's terrible shots were not falling.

And we did not "capitalize", the opposite of what Bosh said they wanted to do.

[thegreat0ne81]

Btw as much as I hate the Heat, you guys are worried for nothing. If you lose game 2 start to worry. Right now all the pressure is on the Thunder to keep homecourt especially with the 2-3-2 format.

If the Heat win game 2 then you have 3 shots at either closing out the series at home or going up 3-2 with game 6 in OKC with their backs to the wall.

If you lose game 2 then all the pressure is on the Heat to win all 3.

So don't go into panic mode unless you lose game 2.

KD isn't asked to guard everyone. I don't think you've seen all the Heat games judging by your avatar, but what this team asks for LeBron in the time span that he plays, is ridiculous.

Durant always plays long minutes, but he isn't asked to lock down anyone. LeBron even plays center and started off the game guarding Perkins... even Perkins trying to post him up.

I don't think I'd see the day Durant doing something like that. Obviously Durant played very well today and I take nothing away from him, but LBJ's minutes were more than they appear because of what he's asked to do.

Please read the job description for Lebron compared to Durant. Just in case you haven't noticed, Durant sometimes dissapears in between quarters and allows Westbrook to carry him as well as Harden so he doesn't do nearly as much as Lebron. I can't believe this is even a debate.

[WadeInTheWater]

God i am dying for Pat Riley on the bench, the thought of that guy telling the players like it is sounds pretty good. That's the kind of coach i want, wonder if we can somehow get Doc in the summer? Hey if Pat put together the big 3 he can get an all star coach too.

dflash3 - you know what I meant right? - ok

Knowing TONIGHT what you know about WADE, play coach for a minute, because as the COACH, you see WADE everyday, and I am sure you know more than we do. What would you do different in Game 2? How would you adjust when your 2nd player is struggling and YOU KNOW why or you know what you know based on TONIGHT?

What(if anything) would you do different?

Here's my point, it doesn't seam to matter what this COACH sees, he appears to do the same thing. One example - when Chalmers got hurt(minor or major), there was no one at the table ready to sub for him just in case you may need him later in the game. Same thing for when Miller gets hurt. These little things can make a difference in a game.

Again, I am not mad at this loss. But think about this, this is Scott Brooks 1ST finals appearance. He rarely doubled Lebron........think about that

Lebron/Wade come out smiling and laughing after a loss once again.

Not sure if we ever have a sense of urgency. Obviously it's not good to panic, but damn. Take sh** seriously, take losses seriously, it's not all pie in the sky. We gotta learn from that.

[PurpleRooster]

Lebron/Wade come out smiling and laughing after a loss once again.

They don't see that doom and gloom where they know in their heart of hearts they can't beat this team.

They dropped the ball, in this one. They had the chance to win this one.
