This game has absolutely nothing to do with Scott Foster. In fact, he's given the Heat some nice calls. This one is all on the players playing like chit.

Yeah, to a certain extent...but one team has been allowed to play a lot more physical brand of basketball than the other.

Nah, blaming a ref when you get blown out is a loser mentality. Players don't get any kind of pass for this. Refs didn't make them miss free throws, miss bunnies, miss 3s, commit stupid turnovers, leave guys wide open for 3.

Well, our team is still playing.

This. Saw a grip of no-calls on the Heat's end when there was definite contact.

lol they're not in the same tier. Being no 1 option whose the focal point of every posession is way different than being a 2nd or 3rd option who can take a couple games off offensively.
It's Joker >>>> Big Gap >>>> Embiid > Gap >>> AD >>> Bam
Its no disrespect to Bam to have him as 4th best center

Oh well. Still proud of this group in spite of this game. I voted for us to win in 6. Sticking with it. Bam & Jimmy can't start over relying on our role players. They're just the cherry on top. It starts and stops with our stars. Boy do I miss Herro.

Tatum got going and the rest of his squad followed.

66-43 in the 2nd half. **** disgusting.

Post #786 » by **Wiltside** » Wed May 24, 2023 2:56 am

Well, we're still up 3-1.

If we don't win 1 of the next 3 games, we didn't deserve the Finals.

This team has earned the benefit of the doubt. See how they respond in game 5

Neither the Refs, League, or Vegas had anything to do with this loss..... It was all there for the Heat to put this game away in the 3rd.

16-0.....SIXTEEN to ZERO allowed Boston to get in rhythm and thats why you never play with your food.

Yeah, Foster has no effect...yet the Celtics never lose with him. Keep telling yourself that.

Yeah cuz Foster change the game in the 3rd /s....

What game are you watching?????

All game. But some folks cannot accept that and have to go back to ignoring what is in front of them for some reason.

They were expected to win 4 in a row. That's the talent difference. It's not out of the realm of possibilities for them to do it.

Hopefully this result ends all the dumb*** Denver Finals talk I read in an ECF GT ffs as well as the lunacy of bringing Gabe/Strus....if these guys are in for a big payday you let them walk....period.

We're at a severe talent deficiency against anyone we play. If we're gonna be true contenders, that has to change.

If you could not see the Celtics grabbing the Heat every possession, I would ask what game you watched.

There is a talent difference but we were never getting swept. We only need to win 1 more game.
