I am gonna have a couple beers as I say goodbye to our season tonight, however there's some shows I am behind on, if this thing gets ugly like really ugly I am turning it off and watching something else. I will read all the comments tomorrow morning after our beat down.

Again they'll have my attention until halftime, if the game is respectively close, I will continue watching through the third, the moment this thing goes 25-30 points I am not gonna give myself anymore heartburn about this team.

I'm gonna watch it at an Ale House. My fútbol club has a makeup game at 8 so I'll have them on my phone and gonna watch both games at once. I hate when both my sports teams play at the same time.

Forget what kinda fan base we are.......what kinda people are we that we can't stand behind our team & ride out w/ them win or lose. Toughen the f*ck up & get behind your team regardless of the outcome. We're depleted & need the support. Can't only back this team during wins and good times.

We're 13.5 dogs here. Just 2pts more on the road? surely this is the gm where it's close.

Let's Go Heat!
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Expecting a blowout loss or a win, we’ve shown there’s no in between. I would love to get it back to Miami for game 6 but very unlikely, it’s a shame we’re so damn bad at home on the playoffs year after year or we really could’ve made this an interesting series.

I’m glad wright is getting the start tonight
