Yes I know, 'injuries'

Watched every play of their last game in Washington. Zero adjustments, zero urgency, Spoelstra sits on the bench majority just watching going through the motions..

Toronto TT over 98.5 -110. BOL.

They have no shooting. Tough to score in today's league when you have almost nobody who is a legitimate and consistent threat from distance. They aren't that good. They're still decent enough when healthy though - just not as good as some of us thought before the season.

When they get down by like only 12 pts they give up. They're the opposite of the Utah Jazz who act like it's game 7 of NBA finals no matter when they play

That's a ridiculous claim. They've been one of the better comeback teams in the league this year. Their record would actually be worse if they hadn't come back from the dead in quite a few games.

Off the top of my head, they were down by 18 in the second half to Indiana, by 16-18 in the second half to Denver, by 15+ in the second half to Memphis, by 14+ to Orlando... Need I go on?

ok did you see the body language against OKC on Sunday? What the hell was that all about... They were down by 2 pts at the half then in the 3rd quarter acted like they had no chance and quit

Schedule maker had it out for Miami.

Justice Winslow does look like the real deal though

So they quit in one game (supposedly, I didn't watch that game and anyway almost nobody wins in OKC when Durant is healthy) and all of a sudden they're "quitters"?

You said "when they get down by 12+ they give up" as if it was a generality trying to be smart. I cited 4 occasions in which they came back to not only compete but WIN games where they were down by MORE than 12 points. And there may actually be even more instances. You embarrassed yourself. Period.

There's 30 NBA teams... let's say Thunder or Jazz are above average in terms of passion to fight through adversity within a game....

What do you rate Miami...

Stop trying to deflect the conversation. You said something that was factually incorrect and wasn't even close to being true. You said one of the teams that had made the most comebacks this season "gives up" when they're down a lot of points.

It's as if I said the Spurs can't stop anybody on defense when they're the best defensive team in the league.
