I don't think that one game means a whole lot... except, giving the Cavs a bit of confidence against them come playoff time and giving the media something to talk about... It's nice to see everybody talking about the big 3 teams in the NBA and knowing that I'm a fan of one of them..

loss number 5 here we come..and in convincing fashion..way to lay an egg on lebrons birthday..I'd be pissed if i was lebron and the way this team has half-assed it tonight..

j/c...
This Miami team is garbage. They travel, hack, and shove all over the court and never get called for it. Cavs get whistled if they wave their hands in a guy's face.
See Haslem walk from the circle to the foul line without getting called for a travel?
See Chalmers lock Z's arm after Z grabs a board and draw a foul?
See Wade get yet another foul call when he was not touched?
It's bogus.
Edit: There's another bogus foul call on Lebron.
An uncalled travel and then an uncalled up and down on Wade.

i have to say this is worst played game so far this year..there is no energy and Brown needs to do a better job combating the traps they are putting out there...and get Z the damn ball..

Two quick threes cuts the deficit to 10. Time to D up.
They really need to take advantage of the fact that this Miami team is young. I think that played a big part in the comeback Sunday night.
And just like that, huge flop by Chalmers. This makes me want to vomit.
OK, if that's not a foul, this game is rigged, bottom line.
Z just get a forearm to the face on an upfake, no whistle.
Carry by Wade, no call.
Marion draws a charge call even though his foot was inside the circle. And then commits an offensive foul that gets called a block by Andy even though Andy had position.
This garbage is despicable.
Marion crawled up a guy's back to get a rebound. No call.

Seriously. How can the Cavs win when the refs don't even apparently know the rules of basketball?

everytime we try and get ready to take over, we screw up, a stupid foul, a turnover, a 3 point play by the other team
if they can keep it to 10 or under by the 4th, they should be ok

Seriously..Brown needs to get a tech and chew some ass..they have to know this is unacceptable and send this tape to the league office

Lebron is about to blow up. I'm looking at double digits for him easy in the 4th. This Heat team is young...they're going to force Wade to carry them down the stretch.

This is gonna be tough since the other team is at home and they have a guy that gets more calls than LB..
It can be done. We need Mo to have a big quarter...

We need to be aggressive and get Miami in the bonus early.
There's one.
Edit: I've never seen an officiating crew have to confer on as many calls as these boners have tonight.

Getting outcoached tonite...
Spoelstra took advantage of our slow bigs the other nite, now tonite, he makes the genius move of mixing in the 2-3 zone in the 4th quarter. You can tell we don't know how to attack the zone. Instead, we are only just swinging it around the perimeter..
lets see if we can make the adjustment..

Mike Brown gonna be pissed after this one.. Just one of those games where it turns into a disaster.. Stagnent offense and "on heels" defense. We just gotta get a couple practices in and really get back to what we do. I think Z may be at about 75-80% right now. He is a tough dude, and I get the feeling he is not healthy right now. He is getting to the boards slower than usual..
Chalmers and Daequan decided to play outta their minds.. that act of those 2 shooting that well on the same nite won't be repeated again this year

I'm cool with losing now and then. I even told my wife before tipoff that we'd probably lose. However, I'm not ok with losing because the officials took the game into their own hands.

At this pace, 70 wins is still pretty acceptable,....  These back-to-back series' give the other team(s) a chance to redeem. That's what Miami did last night,...they're not that good. I'd like to have Wade though,....

that's why i didn't like this game from the start...
they had a feel for us because of sunday, they tasted victory, and we took it right from them, i knew right there that tuesday would be rough...
when you lose a game like that, the first thing you want is another chance, maybe you take it out on someone else, but in this case, they got that second chance.
not a fan of home-and-home games.
