Z-man:
Battier is a nice comparison, he’s got that ultra-intellectual approach along with some swag. He’s no Obi though…

LOL 🙂

Z-man: Miami’s D is top-notch, sooner or later they are going on a run. I wish we played better but it is no disgrace losing to them.

Yes, if they play 72 games with us the Heat will be unbeaten…

They scored 36 points in the first half and I don’t think their (excellent) defense has nothing to do with us shooting 60% on FT…
I know they’re a good team (more on paper then on the court to this point of the season) but I also imagine that we prepared for the game and for their defense, especially because they kicked our ass before.

There’s no shame in losing to the Heat, there must be a little disappointment in playing like dogs in the most important game of the year so far…

Max:
Humble pie cooked and shoved down our throat.
And Miami was in a sixth game losing streak…

I’ll give him a pass because he was clearly not at 100%,
but this was Randle worst game of the year.
Barrett instead has no excuses,
he was a zero on offense and choked in the most important game of his young career.

This could have been a HUGE game with Indiana and Boston losing and Toronto down by a lot in Detroit.
Remember, we have that end of season western trip looming, we need to bank as much wins as we can now…
