On the concept of exiting early.

This is clearly, an embarrassing thing to see for your fanbase.

The notion of fans leaving early is a known phenomenon in the sport. I see that in the UAAP a lot. It's really something when you do it in an elimination game in the NBA Finals.

One can only SMH in disappointment. This is even more magnified that it's in Miami, a city that has a really nasty reputation for fans being "bandwagon-y"

However, there are always some who can justify having to do this. Some have work schedules and all that.

Chris Bosh could only say this earlier today, and can you blame him:
"For all those [fans] who left, make sure you don't come to Game 7,"
Here's a transcript relating further:
CHRIS BOSH: You never give up. People gave up on us, and they can stay where they are and watch the game at home.

Q.  Did you like the punishment?  They didn't let them back in. 

CHRIS BOSH:  Yeah, you can't get let back in after you leave.  I know that.  Hell, I've been to games.  You can't leave a game and then come back.  It doesn't make any sense.  You left.  It's not punishment; that's protocol.
