Not specifically by 20, but in game 6 of the Western Conference Finals in OKC the Thunder stayed until the end when the Spurs closed out the Thunder. The fans applauded, presumably showing appreciation for the Thunder and respect for the Spurs. Dirt-bag, Snip. Heat fans wouldn't never be so respectful and classy.

lets see, game 4, going on the road down 3-1, in all likelihood getting closed out on the road, the heat "fans" up and left rather than stay and support their team on what could very well be the last game of their season.

Because for the most part they are bandwagon fans. Every winning team's fanbase is made up of bandwagoners to some extent but the percentage of bandwagoners in the Heat fanbase is probably higher than any other team in history.

This is what the average Heat fan sounds like

That's the best you have? A game OKC lead at halftime that went into overtime?

This year, Heat fans are truly getting what they deserve.
You know this how, you sound like a classless know-it-all person yourself.Maybe some people know the game is over by the score and want to avoid traffic plus have to get work the next as this is not the weekend.

Let's just say the Knicks or Warriors (neither a cheap ticket) in the same situation would still have their arenas at least 3/4 full. Some fanbases are just more die-hard than others.

The City of Miami is a big cesspool. It's essentially a third world enclave. Being from the east coast origionally, the thing I was always proud of the straightforwardness and no bs attitude of the EAST cOAST. That all goes out the window with Miami and its fans.. who are a direct proxy for the level of superficialness and shallowness that engulfs that town.

You sound third-world yourself, see if you can afford Brickell, ignorance is abound here.

Yea keep piling up the excuses. I guess people still haven't learned from mcgrady that the game isn't over until it's over. 6 minutes is logical time for a maybe comeback.

Hell, Dallas did it on your home floor in 2010. Forgot that?

Pathetic team, pathetic fan-base.

Not a Knicks fan but for a team with a horrible past, their fanbase is so unreal to a point people hate them for it. True fans right there.
