Calm your t*ts, everyone...
The heat eventually played impeccably...officiating was a little questionable on both sides of the fence, calls that should have been and others that shouldn't. Nothing you can do about a 20 point deficit against a team that made the Finals though.
There were some instances in the 3rd and a few in the 4th where the spread was under 10 and I was hopeful and the Heat were ferocious on D and stripping and intercepting passes. The spurs kept on picking points though and secured the victory. At the end, , I turned it off and rocked myself to sleep while sobbing.

Plus, the way I see it...a 20 point deficit is really like a 40 point deficit if you include offense and defense strength because you need 20 to tie, but you need to keep them from making 20 also and that's JUST to tie, not win.
Tough loss.

Spurs are no slouch...and we have yet to see the Heat actually on fire. It's going to be rough.

Well, the Spurs shooting so well had alot to do with yesterday's game. But, the LeHeat sure made a nice run in the 3rd...thought they would comeback...
Still, can San Antonio continue shooting that well? Chances are, that's not going to happen...So, it'll be another slugfest in Game 4. Still, the Spurs accomplished their mission of winning at least one in Miami to get back home-court.

I dont think the lead ever came back under 10 points...
I know the most it was 25 points and then they came out of the half and played really well and were only 11 or 13 points down, but then back over 15-16 points...
the Spurs shot really really well....76+% before half time...

It was 7 or 8...when it went back to 14 with less than 5 to go, I went to bed.
Yummy has a good point...nobody can hit all their shots all the time. It won't be easy, to beat the heat, or for the heat to take home another championship.
I thought you meant 2 in a row in SA. My bad, SwisherSwooshSweets.

WOW...i might have missed that part....
I left the hotel for the restaurant during the first quarter...when the lead was about 8 points....I got the restaurant and boom, they were 20 points up....
then left around mid 3rd quarter to go back to the hotel, might have missed out on the Heat closing in on the Spurs...

I hated ESPN's commentary...TNT is sooooo much better.
Immediately at halftime they started talking about Sterling! No shits given towards the highest scoring 1st quarter in finals history or any of the other awesome plays in that half.

It's not that the fans don't learn, it's that they never learned. Love their team when they're winning, hate them when they're losing. Fair weather, never there to experience the lows or highs like coming back and winning. Real fans at least wait til the whistle.

Majofo, well said. That's telling of the mentality of the city though...not just the fans. Miami is pretty on the outside, but it's fickle and there's not much substance. Trust me. I grew up here.

^^^ people make the city...
stupid people will make the city shitty which in turn will make the others stupid...
I have just been in FL for about 9-10 days and for the most part we were in Orlando....we were in Key West for 2 days and in Miami (not South Beach but more like Aventura and Bal Harbor) for 3 days...people seemed pretty decent from a visitors point of view...but am sure living there might be different...

Anil...overall, you find all walks of life. I've yet to visit a place with more of a melting pot, which is cool. I was raised to not judge and embrace all walks of life, so it is fine for me. But the overall mentality in Miami specifically is ME ME ME. Still a pretty cool place to grow up, but this town was founded on bling bling and tourism and coke hyena...not good moral compasses.

Orlando is a shit hole, Miami is a melting pot, if that melting pot were a toilet bowl and the mixture of ingredients in the toilet bowl were shit, piss, jizz, tp, snot, vomit and used tampons.
Key West and SoBe are okay because tits galore.
