Late poster,I scanned through and all made good points.We brought this on ourselves by letting the Cavs take us 7 games period.Tired or not with some focus on the role players of Maimi defensively we should have won this one.

Ben's defense I thought was fine and I can't say for every play but there were some where he stayed off the penetrator so he didn't get the easy lob to Shaq.Is that the right strategy?Take the penetrator everytime and let Shaq dunk?I don't know.

We shot like stale butt and that was what killed us.On a good note we found our ft% and I hope whatever cardboard box in the Palace storage room that they stuffed our fg% they rummage through before game 2.
