Game 1 Post Game NBA Finals

[WD]

I don’t know what happened, don’t want to sound like a broken record, but something is just not right. we continued to do the same thing on defense, going under the screen, switching from man to man, running a slow offense, looking for Lebron or qade to bail us out.

We couldn’t take advantage of Hardens foul trouble. We were running along side the man on defense instaed of in front of them. Playing slow offense, too many passes.

And what happened to our best shot blocker?
So our bench was just Bosh and Miller?
Got Chalmers and Shane going early, went away from it

ok we're down just 1-0

[WD]

We are not going to win depending on Lebron as our everything in this series

i can't fault Wade

this is on the coaching staff for making him play with this injury

They are killing Batman!

btw playing a young team, and SPO plays only 7 players?

[FlashKing]

Seems like it all went downhill when Miller went into the game in the 3rd. I know Wade played like crap but Miller can't even average a point so why is he out there?

[Ratchet_Rio]

LeBron should break his foot off in Wade's ass in the locker room

[WadeInTheWater]

Seriously what more can LeBron do? He gets at least 30 EVERY **** GAME! Wade you better wake up or seriously take a hard look at yourself in the summer.

[ndnow]

Our D was wide open in the middle, this is going to have to adjust. We showed great signs in this game of being able to outplay and beat the thunder. Our O was stagnant in the fourth and Spo is going to have to instill into the players they need to keep running the offence all game.

Also Spo has never done it but he needs to posture to the refs and take a fine. It works. Works in every sport and every coach has to do it. If it's going to be one way traffic in okc from a reffing standpoint the Heat are in big big trouble.

[LeChosen1]

Heat had awful scoring droughts, Heat still winning game 2

[NoComparison]

bosh played just as bad as wade. dont think ive been not paying attention to you wade haters.

there seems to be too much wade hate here.

[Flash4thewin]

Wade reminds me of Tiger after the scandal. So disappointing. I just feel bad for Lebron. And making Bosh a 3pt shooter thats on Spo.

[puppa bear]

To read the way you guys were writing in the game thread makes me think we were never in the game, and lost by 30!

We only need to split the OKC games to get home court off them. We should get at least 2/3 at home, and game 6 showed we can win big games in a hostile environment. I'm not worried, look at what OKC did to Spurs last round - the series is played over 7 games, not 1 or 2!

Regroup, come back and grab game 2!

Ratings happened...These games have to be close,and the series must go at least 6 games.

/conspiracy theory

[DWadeno3]

This one is on Wade. All coaching faults aside, if he plays the way he did in the 4th for an entire game, we win regardless, it's that simple.

[cb1]

What do you guys expect when we only play about 7 guys and none of them can defend the pick n roll well which is about 80% of OKC's offense. Why didn't we even see Norris Cole whos another good defender? We lost this game on defense not offense. They got 103 points guys. Get some **** perspective FFS.

[SweetTouch]

Bosh was horrible rotating defensively tonight

horrible

Play Joel and Norris Cole

**** MM!

[Slot Machine]

Everybody stop panicking. The Mavs lost Game 1 last year, we lost the first two in '06. If we lose next game, then it's time to start panicking. Lebron needs to always be on Durant in the 4th, lol@putting 6'3 Wade on 6'11 Durant. Less iso ball, less jumpers, less Bosh 3's, more drives to the hoop.

[DefenseWins]

I said we'd probably lose game 1, but now I am pissed that we could have won this game.

Miller should not play this series, Joel should play.

Wade.... why did this guy take so many bad, dumb shots. Only sh*t.

LeBron was running in there like a freight train but while Wade was taking mostly jumpers...

LBJ should have gotten the ball WAY more down the stretch. Wade got it too much.

Everyone just disappeared because we started to play iso ball.

We played team ball in the 1st half, it was great to watch. This team and their "let's get X going" is annoying. LeBron should have yelled at the coaches again to give him the ball.

But they should have won this game.

Ibaka and Harden weren't even in the game. Thabo and Collison were good for OKC. Collison, NOBODY put a body on him. NOBODY.

we can steal game 2 obviously. But they have to stop playing like sh*t. Battier and CHalmers played well. Battier, this guy is streaky. Who knows when we're going to get an effort like this again?

[djkeem]

wade gotta bring the bank shot back

[ecnirp]

Why LeBron wasnt guarding Durant is inexcusable.

If SPo says LeBron was tired...WELL YOU KNOW WHAT??!!? GET HIM SOME REST DURING THE GAME!!

It kills me how LeBron plays 47 minutes a game. Why are the Heat following the same formula? smdh.
