Should have gone glass. shit fk bosh

 

[BrianFromWA]

LMA should have went glass.

was just writing this.

I don't think I've ever seen a champion act like they just won another championship after winning an early regular season game.

It was a big game for them

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sacramento beat Miami.

Miami beat us.

Therefore Sacramento is better than us.

Season over.

 

[TBpup]

Very surprised they didn't take the foul to give. Great game but that is the difference between a contender and a team trying to get there. Good effort.

 

[LuckyShot]

Pffft... fuck Cris Bosh. Game of his Miami life.

 

[Strenuus]

What a punch to the gut.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Tough loss. Great play call by Stotts

 

[Rhal]

Bosh went 3-3 on 3's, .thats just insane. I'm so pissed on the mental lapses all of the them in the 4th. We have showed a lot of those in the last 10 or so games and it finally bit us in the ass. We had no business losing that game but did I hope this lights a fire under our asses to clean up our game on both ends in the 4th.

 

[Natebishop3]

Whatever.... we went cold at the wrong time, they completely shut down Dame in the second half, and we got a taste of what playoff basketball is really like. Miami has some damn fine defense. If they hadn't gone completely cold in the 4th, we probably would have been down 8 at the end.

 

[illmatic99]

Our D needs quite a bit of work

 

[magnifier661]

I hate to say i called it.

Or maybe you jinxed us?

 

[TheBlueDoggy]

This will be the headline leading into the post game recap

 

[BlazerCaravan]

What a punch to the gut.

Really? It was a loss against a great team playing at their height and making a very long three to beat us by one.

 

[TripTango]

No LeBron. Against team with best record. I believe they call it a "statement game".

Fuck.

 

[illmatic99]

Wondering what the thinking was on not using our foul to give

 

[TBpup]

Great offensive call to get Aldridge the lob. Poor defensive call to not have them take the foul-to-give.

 

[Natebishop3]

Stotts needs to figure out how to deal with teams doubling Lillard on the pick and roll. It completely takes him out of the game and it really seems to hurt our offense. We've seen it a few times now. LAC was doing the same thing.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

No LeBron. Against team with best record. I believe they call it a "statement game".

Fuck.

Ehn. I can't muster up much over this.

 

[Natebishop3]

No LeBron. Against team with best record. I believe they call it a "statement game".

Fuck.

Champions don't need statement games.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

No. It's actually not the difference between a contender and a team trying to get their. It's one game of 82.

 

[Natebishop3]

Great defense beats great offense nearly every time. We need to fix our defense.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Wondering what the thinking was on not using our foul to give

Wade is savvy enough to throw up a shot, and there's no guarantee the refs would call it. That foul to give was as useful in that last play as RLEC.

 

[magnifier661]

Champions don't need statement games.

They have a feeling that we will meet in the finals. If I were a champion, I would want to make a statement.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Champions don't need statement games.

They sure celebrated like it was a statement game. Just saying.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Great execution by Nic on the last play. LMA got the ball inside the restricted circle where only he could get it, and nothing between him and the rim but 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen some argon and trace elements.

 

[Strenuus]

Really? It was a loss against a great team playing at their height and making a very long three to beat us by one.

It was. I'm agreeing with you. Still hurts though. I wasn't being a negative nancy. It just hurt.

 

[LuckyShot]

I think it's safe to say we had at least 1 too many lazy passes at the top of the 3 point line tonight. Good lord that was maddening.

 

[magnifier661]

Great defense beats great offense nearly every time. We need to fix our defense.

Dude a prayer from Bosh beat us. It wasn't like we got smashed.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Great defense beats great offense nearly every time. We need to fix our defense.

Sounds like long bomb threes beat a double team nearly every time... But that's just what my eyes saw.
