Really? That was the Spurs "B" game at best.

Losing to the Spurs when they turned the ball over 23 times is rough. But not even the Spurs can shoot like that every game, and Miami has always made good adjustments after game 1 losses. Miami threw up all over themselves w/o LeBron down the stretch. They'll make some adjustments and be okay.

You gotta realize I was expecting the Spurs to play like they did the last 7 minutes the whole way. I thought there was a decent chance last night was going to be a complete blowout. So I'm looking for positives.

Waking up this morning, it really feels like the Heat missed a great chance to steal game 1. There's a ton of pressure on game 2 now for Miami. It's not a must-win, but it is a if-you-don't-win-tonight-this-series-is-gonna-be-really-really-tough game.

Spurs sure turned it over a lot. It's going to be tough for the Heat to steal one in San Antonio.

Boris Diaw's +/- was +30.

I wouldn't be worried. The first three quarters proved this series is going to be closely contested. People always overreact after every game. I thought it was pretty interesting Pop went with Splitter quite a bit last night.

Anyone criticizing LeBron for not playing through a leg cramp is a dumbass.

Even though the series is still fluid it's obvious Lebron can't stand the heat and has lost his thirst to win.

It's too fun to bash LeBron, especially when you can actually compare what happened last night to a similar situation:

Remember when Wade and LeBron were ragging on Dirk for being sick?

I guess the pics n memes are all in good fun but there's no way anyone plays with that.. I used to get them n it's excruciating.. I think mine mainly stemmed from creatine.. I'm interested in what supplements lebron takes

The memes n tweets I hate are like the one above comparing this to random hardships players faced

Yeah I get them too, in my calves & foot arches. The calves are especially awful & you can't do crap when they strike.

I'm with you guys. I never got them in my legs but I have gotten them off and on in my left foot which I also got repaired after breaking it in high school and when it happens I cannot even move and have no control over the area it strikes. Sometimes it only happens for a few seconds but it is unbearable. I don't think he is faking anything. Why would he? They were up 2 when you went out and its only game one.

That being said I can't help but remember when he started having phantom elbow pains and couldn't shoot free throws back in Cleveland several years ago. Remember the elbow guys? That shit was ridiculous.

Heat in 6 or Spurs in 5.

It's not looking good right now.
