PG: Heat vs Celtics Game 7 (Thanks for the memories brehs)

The series was lost in game 5. 2-2 coming home, best out of three. Got blown out the previous game. We needed to win that game. When we lost game 5, we pretty much banked on our shooters having two (2) good consecutive shooting games in a row (which they haven't really done since the Philly series) AND the Celtics having two (2) poor shooting games back-to-back.

That's a lot to bank on, and hard to overcome against a team like Boston. We got away with it in 2012 due to our talent, and in 2016 (due to the lack of talent on the opposing team - **Charlotte Hornets**), but not this time.

Nothing more heartbreaking than the 2011 Finals lol. We should've 100% won that if Bron didn't play scared.

I felt like even if we win this series, the Warriors would still win in 5 or 6 assuming we never recovered from the injuries.

IDGAF what the majority & bias ass media says.....
If Lowry was 100% healthy in the ECF we take out Boston.
If Heat's key players are 100% healthy going into the NBA finals we win the series!

Boston didn't beat us our health did! In spite of us hobbled & depleted we were a 3 pointer away from an exhausted Butler to potentially take out the East. And even then Boston only won by 4pts while their best 2 players were 100% healthy all series.

Not going to lie, while the loss sucks, the team exceeded my expectations this season.
How this team's FO finds guys like Strus, Vincent and others to fill in the supporting roles is amazing and makes me confident in the short term they can make another run. Even with dead weight like Robinson sitting on the bench

Another super painful one was 2005 ecf loss to pistons at home..that sucked because you know if Wade was healthy we go to the finals. In fact this series reminds me a lot of that one in some ways

At the end of the day, we have 3 championships and despite being a newer franchise have gone to multiple finals and ecf finals…we are a super legit franchise with a rich tradition

No doubt we’ll be back

Don’t forget Spo allowing Bron to take over from Wade who had the hot hand and not stopping it just because Bron couldn’t stand the thought of winning and Wade being the finals MVP.

Guys, we never had a chance. Once Tatum put on the Kobe armband it was a wrap for us. LMAO what a joke

This felt eerily similar to 2005. The Heat had not lost in the Conference Finals since that year. Both times the Heat lost a Game 7 at home.

Losses suck, but that first Mavs-Heat finals cancels any bad loss for me. A loss in that series would have been an all time loss. The next year the team was done so no repeat finals. Maybe no Bosh/Bron down the road either. The Heat needed that more than any other playoff series.

Let’s hope he was bluffing when he said this:

Can see Riles making it known that these are valued pieces in order to avoid undercutting in a possible trade negotiation involving them.....

i think that riles has lost the plot, duncan sucked ballz this season and that's a fact. herro was much better but disappeared like houdini at the playoffs

Wait and see what happens this offseason with Herro/Duncan/Lowry/Tucker and what moves Riles can do to help Jimmy.

Am I the only one that thinks Tatum wearing the Kobe band was one of the most corny and cringe thing to ever happen in basketball?
