Don't worry about getting pregnant, since you're apparently raggin' it.

We started 8-7 last year, blew a massive lead to Orlando, got crushed by the Spurs.... I've come to realize, that especially this year w/ the compressed season, there will be lows. And the perspective comes from realizing that it happens to every team, but people only freak the fuck out when it happens to us. I'm chillin right now

Because they went to the Finals last year and started 8-3 the next season. Where DAL LAL BOS have all looked like shit at one point or another.
We missed our free-throws............what is their to panic about?
We don't typically miss 40% of our free-throws.
and?

Hey iamshadowlark, you still wanna debate me on the many reasons why this is LeBron's team, why he is the Alpha and how he is so clutch when the game is on the line?
Because all of your fellow Heat followers believe the regular season doesn't mean anything.
Damage control is fun.

This is a lockout season and were on game 2 of a b2b. Wooo-sah bro.
And yet all three of those teams have something Lebron doesn't.
wtfff llolll
Hey we just held the best offense in the league to under 80 points. Offense has been our problem all season. Update your trolling son...

Heat are gonna be fine. Clips got some asshole plays to go their way. Bron missed some FTs like an asshole. It's all good.
Oh man; I'm not gonna get into this w/ you since this is the kind of argument that no one wins, but I'm not a believer in that kind of intangible stuff. If the heat had won last year, ie, won 2 more games, your argument would be gone. Its the Peyton Manning argument- everyone said he choked in the playoffs, couldn't win shit, was a regular season MVP only- until OH WAIT HE WON.

Seriously. I wont spoil there fairy tales though.
Peyton didn't leave town to go play with his buddies to win though.
I thought they already won?
You all make good points (I was too lazy to click quote on each post) and I don't disagree with any of you--and yes MOB we normally don't shoot this bad on free throws but I have ZERO faith in our team hitting free throws in crunch situations; it's not that we're not clutch free throw shooters, it's just that our team is simply not good at free throw shooting and that bothers me.
I'm also bothered by this bit because it's not a regular season or a postseason or finals issue; but LeBron is simply not reliable in stress situations, and I have watched enough games for me to feel confident saying that. when he catches the ball I never see him try to dribble to an open space and create a shot; if he dribbles he's going straight to the basket where he'll usually get fouled and have to shoot free throws....do not want. or he'll just stare at his defender for 3 seconds then hoist up an awful shot. or he'll dribble dribble, get trapped, then throw a bailout pass. if he gets an assist it's because it was a tyreke evans-esque assist. it's like he doesn't have a plan sometimes. and it just got annoying watching our team constantly force feed him isolations, we can do SO much better

Right.
Remember that time that Peyton Manning left Indy to go play with the 2nd best player in the NFL?
Oh wait, that never happened.
And you're right, Peyton won that shit. The argument isn't based around what ifs anymore with him.
LeBron needed to run to another cat's team to give himself a chance to win it all.
But hey, when he wins it all one day, you'll see, ryutaro's mama!
YOU'LL SEE!!!
Mhm.
Kicking rocks as usual I see.

You need some Canady Dry. Just too thirsty after every HEAT lost.
And I was talking about this season. The only games that matter at this point are the ones at this point.

We definitely should lose more, really brings out the best of this place.

I love the bullshit of "I'm above all this shit when we lose" bravado.
That's more entertaining than the people capping on the Heat.
It's less about them losing and more about how they lose. That's what makes it so good.

I thought LeBron worked with Olajuwon on his footwork.
You are such a cry baby.
Notice how when the Lakers lose this place erupts as well? It means you made it man, embrace it.
but this place erupts when dy and his kitties win

LeBron's fans are just like him.
Rah Rah Rah when they're winning.
Downplay when they lose.
I can't believe how calm they were when they got smashed in 6 last year.
No fucking heart.
No emotion.

Dy is a grade-A troll, and they are the tank favorites a win for them is like a loss for a contender.

Lol. I love how you keep sticking the bait out there for me to bicker with you about some pointless bullshit. We loss but your getting ticked because we're not panicking like its the end of the world.

Yea, The Heat play so well to start games and turn to turds out of nowhere.
If they were 4th quarter Heat all the time they would have been shipped Bosh and/or Bron out already.
They give their fans hope while jerking each other off and forget to play situation ball, it's pretty fun to witness.
dont jinx it ho

It's not bait when it's the truth, friend.
