Other than, of course, the legendary Game 6, what have been your favorite Heat games over the last two seasons?

The other legendary game 6 against Boston. Also, game 5 against OKC, third quarter was pure heaven.

Comeback against Cleveland was very nice too.

I miss Mike Miller.

Game 4: The forgotten game of 2013 years NBA finals

If we don't win away against the legendary Duncan/Popovich epoch it pretty much over. Spo goes space with Miller instead of Haslem to start the game and Popovich gets cold feet after a minute and splits the Duncan/Splitter combo that's been to much for us up until that point in the series. The BIG3 steps up with excellent defense and energy and it gets us a chance to win a 2nd straight title back in Miami.

Other than those already mentioned:

I was giddy watching us dismantle the Bulls in game 2 of the 2nd round last year. It was like an hour-long extended basketball orgasm as Miami went on 62-20 run. 46 point lead! Against the Bulls of all teams, especially after they took game 1. so awesome.

Pacers game 1, the Lebron finger roll to end OT...

In 12, Game 4 vs Indy. Lebron with 40, 18, 9...Wade with 30, 9 and 6. Haslem 5/6 for 14 :lol:

Saving repeats:

The game @ San Antonio last year (with no Bron or Wade) where Bosh hit the GW 3 was pretty nice.

Although ugly from a defensive standpoint, the Houston home game in the first year of the Big 3 where they all went 30/10 stands out too.

Also, that crazy game @ Washington in the first year that we had no business winning.

edit: OK, so it's only supposed to be the last two years. Whatever. :oops:

Cleveland 27 point game comeback and Bosh hitting that game winner against the Spurs, which have been mentioned already.

Bosh also hit a shot in ATL to force Overtime, I believe that was 2 years ago.

Shutting down Linsanity felt really good.

I also enjoyed Eddy Curry's debut against the Lakers probably more than I should have.

Memorable older Heat games:

I dont know the date, etc... but I still remember going nuts the game we beat Dallas in the regular season when Rafer Alston hit a buzzer beater 3. Freaking great.

Game 2 against the Mavs, in their 2nd finals match up in the Finals was a great game, one of the best I've ever witnessed. One that Heat fans would look favorably on was Game 5 against Chicago where Lebron neutralized D Rose. haven't seen that type of perimeter defense since Michael and Scottie.

Let's see...

Knicks game when we ended Linsanity. Also f**k the Knicks

2012 Playoffs: Game 4 vs Indiana, where Wade stepped up after his clunker in the previous game.

Game 6 vs Boston. LeBron. Period.

Games 2, 4, and 5 vs OKC

2012-2013 opening night vs Boston, with Ray Allen's debut.

During the streak: Game against OKC before the All-Star break. Even with OKC getting all those free throws.

Game in New York. Because again, f**k the Knicks.

Game in Boston. RIP Jason Terry. Also the end, when Battier bounces the ball off Pierce :lol:

Game in Cleveland. I still don't know how the hell we managed to pull that off. And the fanatic running to the court.

2013 Playoffs: Game 2 against the Bulls. Blowout.

Game 7 vs Indiana. A resurgence by Wade.

Game 6 vs San Antonio. The greatest shooter in NBA history saves the season.

Gane 7 vs San Antonio. Battier with the 6 threes, Wade coming up big when needed most, and of course, LeMVP doing his thing.

Those first couple weren't mentioned because the OP asked for 'within the last two seasons'. If not for that, I think that D-Wade three point buzzer beater against the Bulls and the satisfaction of seeing Noah's ugly mug in despair would be close to the top of everyone's list.

Let's take a trip back in time.

One of my favorite games in the regular season was back in 2000 the season Zo was diagnosed and was out. That year we added Eddie Jones, Anthony Mason and Brian Grant. The season was a bit of a gloom because of Zo's disease but exciting at the same time because the team was playing their hearts out.

Anyway, I remember the MIGHTY Trail Blazers coming to town. If you don't remember, Portland was a monster of a team with incredible depth and scoring options (Rasheed Wallace, Pippen, Dale Davis, Damon Stoudamire, Steve Smith, Sabonis, Shawn Kemp, Greg Anthony, Stacy Augmon, Bonzi Wells). Appreciate that depth for a second. Miami roster featured the likes of EJ, Mason, Grant, Bruce Bowens, Duane Causwell, Tim Hardaway, Anthony Carter, AC Green, Dan Majerle, Eddie House and a few others.

Already without Zo, the Heat were also without Majerle, Hardaway and Eddie Jones (ouch). Well Miami kept the game close, played excellent defense, played their hearts out and held Portland to 80 pts for a 86-80 win.
This was the game where Brian Grant took it to his ex-team and got a double-double 24pts 13r based on hard nosed work and hustling. Also, rookie Eddie House - who nobody knew much about except he once scored 61 pts in a college game - electrified the crowd with his shots and antics on his way to 23pts off the bench. This is the night when the "EDDIE, EDDIE" chants were born and Eddie House became a myth in Miami (FREE EDDIE!)

I was at that game and the atmosphere was incredible. One of my favorite memories of a Heat game for sure.

All good mentions. One that nobody mentioned was a regular season overtime game against Indy in '12. Lebron tied the game with a 3 to force OT, Wade with the game winner in OT.
