Spo, why didn’t you challenge that Dragic foul?

Come on dude

He likes living on the edge. No words. Dumb

[AirP.]

We are up 3-1 and the entire heat fan base is going into panic mode. Yes we lost a very winnable game we played really bad in. Guys need to relax

The reason is Budenholzer doesn't do well in the playoffs because he doesn't adjust in the playoffs and he was FORCED to change and it worked and it worked well and maybe he'll finally understand he has to change how the team plays to beat Miami... which is a huge help to their team, especially if Giannis comes back. This is no longer the same team Miami played games 1-3, they're playing the top regular season game that will probably finally adjust their play to their opponent in the playoffs.

Miami came out uninterested in playing and guess what, their backs won't be against the wall until there's a game 7, so it's quite possible the same type of effort shows up in game 5 and 6.

Herro missed everything and then hit 3 super clutch 3s in a row. That boy got some balls

i'm only worried because if any team can come back, it would be a 1st seed mvp type team in a random environment like the bubble

[Chalm Down]

at least Duncan and herro kept them in the game, would be huge if they shoot well in the next game

spo better be on top of his game next time, no more of this nunn chit

Time Duncan? No he didn't. He missed the crucial easy bunny layup in the finals.

true, I stand corrected

Despite all of that, we're the better team.

Wait... does the better team always win? If you let up off the gas anything can happen.

At this point I think it's 50/50 if there's a game 6.

Just giving Giannis a gentlemen's sweep so he can save some face before making his way to South Beach.

If you told me that after 4 games we’d be up 3-1 I’d be ecstatic. Still in a good spot.

Khris Middleton is Allan Houston 2.0. lol

Is that the first OT we've lost this year? Can't remember.

Milwaukee has us figured out? Come on guys, you're all overreacting..


All four games were, at some point, close in the 4th quarter. During the first 3 games we were able to execute more efficiently down the stretch. Today, it was Milwaukee. Yes we didn't play with enough attention to details. Yes, didn't play with enough intensity. Yes, we should have closed them out today. But it's not the end of the world.. not even close.

We haven't lost a game in nearly 3 weeks. It was about time we lose one. It'll help us get back to the drawing board. The game film will help a lot in zoning out the lazy habits we displayed in today's game. It takes a loss to truly learn.. had we won today we could have carried the same 'aura of invincibility' to the next round and it could have resulted in a game 1 loss to Boston/Toronto.

Plain and simple, today was a great wake up call. Look, we were going to lose eventually. Let's not get overboard..


Playoffs are ALL about match-ups, and with Giannis or without GIannis, we match-up extremely well against the Bucks. Regardless of what happened today, that simple fact has not changed. We have an abundance of 2-way wings who can slow down Middleton over the course of 48 minutes.Yes Middleton cooked us today, but he's not Kawhi, KD or Kobe... he's Kris. With a better gameplan and more intensity, we'll slow him down. Make no mistake about it.



Milwaukee fans can tell themselves whatever they want to in order to sleep better at night. They can convince themselves that they've got us 'figured out', despite being down 3-1 in the series.


Let's not forget who the real dogs are. We're the physical dogs in this series. They're the lamb. All these boys needed was a wake-up call. You can bet your house, wife and kids that next game will display some of the most intense basketball ever showcased by the Miami Heat. This is Erick Spoelstra we're talking about here. This is Udonis Haslem we're talking about here. This is PAT RILEY we're talking about here. A good ass kicking at tomorrows shoot around and these dudes will come out believing it's game 7 of the finals. Just watch.



Milwaukee Bucks, Mandarin Ducks, Raptors Suck.. it just doesn't matter. Miami in 5.



"Figured Out"

Go outside and enjoy the weekend. I'll see you boys on Taco Tuesday.
