Well...I figured out why we lost 3 games in a row and won the game 7. I ve been watching the games we lost from 1st quarter and switched back to only watching the 4th quarter like the previous games we won. Tada....here's the answer 😀
Absolutely! Not just because he's an asshole, a quitter and a peckerhead and nobody likes him, but because he is disloyal. Don't want to hear his negative shit during the playoffs. GO HEAT!!!
went to talk some hoops they werent into me being there,i said jimmy wins with iq as much as physical skills didnt like my comments had alot of hhhfan words towards me.decided to exit the loser website after 5 minutes
I had a feeling they would show up tonight. Game 6 the tide started to turn, not soon enough to win but that 2nd half was the best they had played since game 3. I had a feeling they could win, but I didn't see a 20pt blowout.
Now on to the Nuggets. It seems like Heat are overmatched, but I thought they were overmatched against Milwaukee and Boston too. Go Heat!
I just have to acknowledge bro heatforlife here. You responded well when called out and sorry for pushing you hard lol. But you did better...not that you need anyone's approval specially mine coz I might be crazier haha.
To the admins of HHH... pls get rid of any foul mouthed so-called Heat fans here.
There's always a good way to criticize our team. I know we cnt always be like that or our emotions get the best of us. One thing's for sure is we should not give up on them. its a great learning experience this season
The only reason I watched this game today was Caleb Martin who has been very consistent from Game 1 against the Bucks and he did not disappoint today. Can not wait to receive my #16 jersey by post in a few days.
I don't now what his stats are. Visually he comes to play hard each game. Whether he is a starter or not makes no differrnce to him.His efforts are not up and down. He goes for rebounds, runs back quick on transition defense not to mention that he is shooting the 3s well. Some folks give up in transition not Martin. Seeing him do it, gives me so much joy. That is a guy who does not want to loose.
yes but jimmy gets alot of his teammates good looks dont think caleb can do that like jim,hes more of a catch and release guy or a driver.playing great love the guy
I was really downbeat after game 6 loss, but thinking of Martin' s energy pumped me up to watch this game 7 irrespective of the outcome.Noticed I kept away from the thread while the game was on.
Well folks, that's why you never quit like some poeple...HHHfan for example. What a P-word.
Congratulations all! It's been a rough season but these playoffs have more than made up for it. Looking forward to the Finals where we'll find out if this year's Heat team is a team of destiny.
All day, everytime the pundits said the Celtics had all the momentum, I started getting a good feeling. Do you know that every single expert picked Boston. A couple said it would be close, Perkins and Windhorst, but noone picked them. And, after awhile, I had a feeling this might happen.
The momentum was with the Heat in game and you could see it in the first period. The Celts started bricking 3's at the end of game 6 and I knew they weren't going to be able to get it done in game 7.
Hey, the hole you crawled out of just called. It wants you to slime your ass back in there. Btw, did I mention you are a loser and an asshole. Nobody here likes you. Go home and STFU! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhQql-ZbZmg
when the heat are winning no criticisms from me.and u r always praising everybody all the time.so therefore now we think alike for now.wait till next year lol
You’re a pathetic loser and you keep proving it with you adolescent put downs. You must be like 12 years old, or are an adult with a particularly low iq. I pity you loser!
Well...I figured out why we lost 3 games in a row and won the game 7. I ve been watching the games we lost from 1st quarter and switched back to only watching the 4th quarter like the previous games we won. Tada....here's the answer 😀
Well done heat Nation.....cheers
Caleb MVP
Spo COY (share it with Brown).
But no fan should have to go through his team being up 3-0, then 3-3 and eventually win 4-3.
Waiting to see if CNN will celebrate Heat's 4-3 win, as Boston's win to make it 3-3, was celebrated on CNN.
FINALS BOUND!
Now please ban hhhfan for his many abusive comments
Absolutely! Not just because he's an asshole, a quitter and a peckerhead and nobody likes him, but because he is disloyal. Don't want to hear his negative shit during the playoffs. GO HEAT!!!
Yes pls. There's a rat infestation here. Call pest control
Hfl...what's celts blog status?
went to talk some hoops they werent into me being there,i said jimmy wins with iq as much as physical skills didnt like my comments had alot of hhhfan words towards me.decided to exit the loser website after 5 minutes
A complete meltdown
Ouch! Thanks! Could have happened here also but thankfully we are finals bound! Yezzzz!!!
little time before sleep want to see what the loser website is saying.great great win see everybody thursday
There is a meltdown...guess we could get a few good players from their fire sale next season based on all the fan owners chatting over there
I had a feeling they would show up tonight. Game 6 the tide started to turn, not soon enough to win but that 2nd half was the best they had played since game 3. I had a feeling they could win, but I didn't see a 20pt blowout.
Now on to the Nuggets. It seems like Heat are overmatched, but I thought they were overmatched against Milwaukee and Boston too. Go Heat!
Let the whole world sleep on us....we ll wake up when rested and rip them apart
boston doesnt have a joker or murray be very interesting if this small lineup is used vs a big denver squad
Do we complain about the 6 ft attempts we received if we lost lol
I deliberately made up my mind not to be moved or bothered by the refs antics today.
I just have to acknowledge bro heatforlife here. You responded well when called out and sorry for pushing you hard lol. But you did better...not that you need anyone's approval specially mine coz I might be crazier haha.
To the admins of HHH... pls get rid of any foul mouthed so-called Heat fans here.
See you all in finals!!
if team plays good we praise when certain players struggle and we lose i criticize them but i always want them to win unlike this hhhnonfan character.
There's always a good way to criticize our team. I know we cnt always be like that or our emotions get the best of us. One thing's for sure is we should not give up on them. its a great learning experience this season
true the way they looked in reg season lot of fans wanted them to get in the lottery not me but lots fans thought that way
Spo is a class act dude, an amazing respect he gave for Boston in his press conference
typical coach talk.they always congrat the losing team
The only reason I watched this game today was Caleb Martin who has been very consistent from Game 1 against the Bucks and he did not disappoint today. Can not wait to receive my #16 jersey by post in a few days.
hes currently our best player unless jim gets some major coffee break
Yep.
id have to ck calebs stats in first few games but last 4 games hes been our best player
I don't now what his stats are. Visually he comes to play hard each game. Whether he is a starter or not makes no differrnce to him.His efforts are not up and down.

jamal murray is playing so good now,but love our d.hes similar to brunson just not as strong
pat hates danny ainge spo vice versa
I discovered today, that the best way to watch a finals game on TV, is to have it muted. You watch it unfiltered, no noise and at peace with yourself.
Just want to give some kudos to Duncan. He had a really good series. And Martin emerged, he really was our MVP.
Totally agree. He resuscitated his career in these playoffs
dunc was good martin was great
caleb should have gotten mvp.
I agree
Think about it. If the Butler 3 goes in last season, we’re in the finals 3 out of 4 years.
should have taken it to hoop prob be in finals rc
Well folks, that's why you never quit like some poeple...HHHfan for example. What a P-word.
Congratulations all! It's been a rough season but these playoffs have more than made up for it. Looking forward to the Finals where we'll find out if this year's Heat team is a team of destiny.
GO HEAT!!!
sun man enters 3 hrs later.better late than never lol
I made one comment after each quarter. Didn't want to interfere with your airtime.
man your 1 comment equals 20 of mine
Gotta agree with that 😆

blackstone guy only guy on espn picked heat
Right, thats correct.
denvers not that good defensive team .joker is great but bam is too quick for him
Jimmy Butler just won the Larry Bird trophy by beating the Celtics- you can't make this stuff up!!
GO HEAT
I'm just going to put it here...
"Blowing a 3-0 lead will be fine to you? Lmao. There’s is no such thing as heat culture after they lose"
"Lmao couldn’t close them in 3 tries 2 at home. Lmao gtfoh"
That's the last for me for that...
Thank you Miami Heat!!!!
This jackazz loser is such a sad pitiful excuse for a human being.
Hahahaha! You’re a total joke, a disgrace. And really weak. And that’s all you can come up with. Very low iq. Sad. I pity you.
Funny!
Hey, the hole you crawled out of just called. It wants you to slime your ass back in there. Btw, did I mention you are a loser and an asshole. Nobody here likes you. Go home and STFU! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhQql-ZbZmg
Great win. Losing that close one in game 6 was a blessing in disguise. It was far sweeter and more sarisfying to win this way. Proud of our team!
denver is a tall team. we might need to bring back Love to the starting lineup
he cant cover porter or gordon .hh 10x better
The way Boston lost has to feel 100 times worse than getting swept
Yup
Wow!!! We are there!!! Congrats everyone!!!
Hey, when rc and hfl join forces, anything is possible 😀
when the heat are winning no criticisms from me.and u r always praising everybody all the time.so therefore now we think alike for now.wait till next year lol
Oh no!
Yeah!!!! Lets all enjoy this together!!! Even those who gave up already...enjoy this too

Congratulations Heat well deserved win.
They continue to shock me. Can’t say I’m confident against the nuggets either, but this team has made this post season amazing.
