We're in real trouble here... Miami won this game because they closed us out down the stretch, and that's what most of these games will come down to....
Now we're basically in a must win on Thursday night, because I dont like our chances of winning 3 straight against this team...
Jet continues to be horrible near the end of games, on both sides of the ball... We survived this against the Thunder, but this will not work against the Heat...
I hear/see people saying that JJ got to the rim at will, but just didn't finish like he usually does, and that he'll make those shots in the next game... Let me tell ya, there's no guarantee that those shots will be there in the next game... He also got to the rim in game 1 against the Thunder, but then had trouble getting to the rim in some of the games that followed, which shouldn't be a surprise to anybody that watched every regular season Mavs game, JJ's great one night, mediocre the next...
The bench was outscored 27-17, people will say if we flip this stat, then we'll win the next game, but every game's different... We may outscore their bench by 20 on Thursday, but if it's a close game, it will still come down to the closing units, and we looked over-matched tonight...
It was a 4 point game midway through the 4th, we never got any closer than that, this is the most troubling thing...
All that said, we can still do this!

First of all...you try to prove a point (sound like Thunder fans after game 1) then your example is them saying Dirk won't score 48 again....he didn't score 48 again, right?
Secondly, I understand every game is different....but let me break it down easier for you so you can understand (actually think you're a Thun fan in disquise, so maybe that's why you can't comprehend).
If the bench doesn't play better (which we have no reason not to think it won't, it has all year) we will lose.
If we don't rebound better (iffy proposition...you know what a proposition is, right?) we will lose.
If JJ, Jet, Peja don't hit open shots (which they have all year, why shouldn't we expect it?) then we will lose.
So, No, I don't think all those things will happen again and just like you Thunder fans saying Dirk won't score 48 again, I'll be proven right.
