Not sure I jumped up and down and screamed as much as I did after this for any regular season win, even though we all pretty much knew it was happening by this point.
The day Anthony Carter's agent mistakenly forgot to opt in on his deal is a moment in Heat history I will never forget. The domino effect that took place after that changed this franchise in the most positive way possible.
Couple of others:
Here's a sort of random one. When the Heat beat the Bulls in the 96/97 season, with only 8 players after the Hardaway trade. Rex Chapman went off for 39 points in the win

I tried finding it on YT and couldn't find it, but the shimmy that shimmy did on the floor on his back. I remembered that it was a huge basket that we needed and I was so happy to see Shimmy coming through, especially with all the hate he was getting throughout the year.
That team will always have a special place in my heart since they got me back into basketball. Such a different vibe back then. The New World is one I wouldn't trade, but I still get nostalgia for that team.
That was game 6. Huge in the game, series...season.
And yeah, pretty sure he had shelved the shimmy all season, since our organization has the tendency to make guys drop stuff like that, but that moment required it. I'm sure Pat was shimmy-ing.
It was. We lost the two other games in Dallas. The only other one we wore red was Game 1, where we started strong but got smacked later on. I'm 99% sure that was in G6, I don't think it would be as revered in a loss, even if I wasn't sure.
The only year I ever remember cheering fot the Heat was '05 so I guess that has to be mine. That was a fun team to watch, and I still think it was better than the team that won it all the following year. Injuries bit that team hard.
I'm going to try at this without looking at anyone else's posts, or googling anything...just pure memory, first things that come to mind.
In person:
*Games 3,4,5 NBA Finals vs. Dallas in '06
*Game 3 NBA Finals in '12
*Game 1, 2 & 5 ECF @ Detroit in '06 (was nothing I loved more than going to the Palace for those games...so much shit talking both ways...nasty environment...I was at Game #2 also, but it was a loss. If my memory serves me correct, we won Game #5 as well?)
*Game 3, 4, 6 ECF @ Detroit in '05 (eventhough we lost)
*Game 2 East Semi-Finals @ Indiana in '04 (we lost, but was our bounce back year with Dwade/Odom/Skip/BG/Eddie...my 1st playoff game)
*Shaq arrives in Miami in semi truck
*Tim Hardaway's jersey retirement before season opener in '10
Others:
*Zo returns to court on TNT/TBS after Kidney Disorder
*Glen Rice's 50+ vs. Orlando in '94 or '95 - It was a Sunday game, and I remember getting grounded for not doing something I was supposed to b/c I was watching the game.
*D-Wade's game winner on Baron Davis in '04 - Remember going to the rec the next day/weeks and working on that reverse between the legs cross over and floater.
*D-Wade's dunk on Jermaine O'Neal in the '04 semi-finals
*Tim Hardaway 3 pt game winner vs. Knicks in playoffs
*Allan Houston's game winning floater that bounced on every part of the rim - 1st time I broke something because of a Heat loss
*Mashburn pass to Weatherspoon the following year - 2nd time I remember breaking something because of a Heat loss
*Harold Miner & Glen Rice win Dunk & 3 pt shootout in same night
*PJ Brown slams Charlie Ward
*Anthony Carter floater over the backboard game winner
*Heat beat Bulls with 8 guys on the roster in '96
*LeBron '12 Celtics series
*Anytime Earl Barron was on the floor
*Mark Strickland dunks
*Marty Conlon free throws
I should've tried to do that last part in time order, but I just did a random mess of ideas and now can't think of what I'm missing.

I was thinking of things where you can "remember where you were and what you were doing" type of factor. Not necessarily my "favorites". Although those Heat/Knicks series, regardless of win/loss, were epic. Every game was a war. Forget scoring, give me those earn every bucket type games again.
I believe we lost Game 5 in Detroit in '06. If memory serves: W-L-W-W-L-W...with 4/5 possibly switching, but I don't remember losing at home to them that year. We had just got blown out at home in Game 1 by the Nets.
We won game #1 in Detroit, lost game #2, lost game #5 (I was at all three)...I remember because after game #5 I talked mad shit on the way out about how this was their last home game. Those were fun games in the Palace.
