Gosh man......this is sad. It's been a good run. I see us losing next season in the 2nd round and then the rebuilding will begin. Bye Sheed, Bye Chuancey....Good guys, good players, no way we pay them though.

we had it going early. even though the game LOOKED ugly, we were attempting to execute our offense correctly. In the first half it was all ugly and filled with sloppy possessions, but we were trying. All that was missing was the timing and rhythm,through alll that we were only down 6 at the half.

Come the third qtr we got our rhythm, we got our timing, we got our lead......it was beautiful, ball movement, player movement, ball reversal and the extra pass was leading to GREAT SHOTS!!!!!!!!!! Then we started chucking treys off the first pass as certain players felt as if the early third qtr play implied that they had the hot hand.......INSTANT RELAPSE....after that it was over....we went back to the 2 man iso BS with no off the ball movement. While our opponent was very focused and knew exactly what they wanted to do, we looked dazed and confused.

When the game got into the fourth I knew we were done. We no longer have A TEAM ORIENTED OFFENSE to execute that'll get us good shots, we have a scheme that puts too much pressure on 1 guy to make a play, we don't have that guy....Miami does...and his name is Dwayne Wade. In the end I was hoping we could have closed the game strong and had something positive to carry over to game 5, but even that was not to be.

The team we're looking for has not been here all season, Folks This Is Our Team Now. We are so far removed from "Playing the Right Way" it ain't even funny. The contrast from this year and last years team is so obvious it ain't even funny. When you play "Ride the Hot Hand" ball you make statues out of the other teammates, now we have a team that has no rhythm as a unit. They're waiting for somebody (an individual)to get it going and carry us over....NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, nobody on this team is that good individually, we don't have a LeBron, Wade, Dirk...and unlike Kobe - Wade won't screw up the game plan to allow us to come back. It's been Fun......Amir were looking for ya buddy, not many wins, but the kid should make it interesting to watch, then we can play the "What if we kept he and Darko together" game........Man I can see the threads now.
