What world are we living in that we would want the Heat to win a Chip

I mean - that's the quiet part we don't say out loud...

Not rooting for anything deliberate or dirty, but would like the team show some fight. A lot of these fouls have been...questionable. Sick of the ticky tack offensive fouls. You get six fouls - make them count.

Heat grabbing your arm and drawing a foul? Drag them down. Miami getting away with moving screens? Barrell right through them like the god damned Kool Aid Man.

Everyone has been expecting a gladiator match. Give them one.

Otherwise, take your beating, hopefully learn from it, use it as motivation and move on.

Miami is kicking our ass. They do little things well but they are hitting their shots. The losses have not been that close.
Knicks should give them hell but I don’t want to see Randle do something stupid and get tossed out.
We owned the heat for years and only series we lost in that era was the PJ Brown Ward Midget toss fight.
Take the loss like a man, let it eat you, get back in the gym, war room, work the phones and keep moving foward.
I don’t want anyone to lose a career or chance for a chip due to a cheap foul. Even the Heat. These guys work hard and earn their success.

Here comes Nalod with the PC answer

True athletes and competitors don't do that kind of ****.
Only haters that are sore losers and have not accomplished anything do.

100%...wtf kind of attitude is that? Don't be a sore loser. Learn, reflect, improve.

Not to mention, we have another game tomorrow that we can (should?) win. Let's not lose focus until the season is ACTUALLY over. A win tomorrow may give the team a jolt and some confidence. Clearly, we shoot better than this usually. We defend better, too.

We can lament all we want after we're out. That has not happened yet.

This is clearly tongue in cheek. Non of the players playing today have anything to do with what happen then.

is that the "just kidding" response?LOL
My hate has turned to respect as even Jimmy just goes about it cool. They a bit cheap? yes. They scratch and claw for advantage.
That Riles stuck with Spolestra thru some tough years is also part of the culture. Let guys grow and get better too. That he has not burned out is phenomenal.

I respect riles, but don't like him.

I'm not the type to change up due to other ppls opinions. If it was how I really felt then I wouldn't have even added "or should we keep it classy". As if I was really relying on yall for an emotional dilemma I was having lol. Which I have no control over what the Knicks would do to being with.

first, the heat are not the Pistons of old, or even the bulls when Phil used to send 3d stringers to do this ****.

and neither are we. as others have said we should play our asses off, and i truly wish we UKers stop all this fatalism. Doesn't anyone remember when the Red Sox came back on the Yanks?

Heat have played hard the full 48 minutes and benefitted from some guys playing out of their minds (e.g., vincent and martin channeling MJ and Scottie in game 1), some lucky bounces, some Knick brain farts.

We need to take it one possession at a time, not think too far ahead and try to come out on top. AND if we don't, then use it as an opportunity to learn.

So under no circumstances should there be any fights (though i wouldn't mind RIley and Spo getting punched in the face )
