In what has to be a first for professional sports, an uninjured player skipped the starting line-up introductions. Not a big deal, unless you consider that the player was LeBron James and the starting line-up introductions were in Cleveland. This wasn't your every day, average game between two teams with disparate records at the end of March. The majority of fans who attended the game were there just to boo LeBron (and cheer on the Cavs secondly). The starting lineups were part of the main attraction for this game, and whatever excuse Bron has for hiding in the locker room is going to come off as lame (especially since he said he was in the rest room). Once again, whoever's advising LeBum really needs to reconsider their career. Even if it's not that big of a deal, don't you think you'd want to show how tough you are and withstand the boos from all of those fans who cheered you for so long? Maybe LeBron really has accepted his villain role, and the best way to combat 20,000 people who curse out you and your mother is to not even give them the satisfaction. Or maybe he was just taking a dump (I guess he is allowed that). Or maybe he just punked out.
Either way, the Cavs put on a good show for their long suffering fans, nearly blowing a 23 point lead (Mike Bibby led the charge for Miami hitting a ton of 3s)and withstanding a strange call at the end of the third quarter in which the refs awarded a 60 footer to Bron that came after the buzzer because the clock started early instead of just giving them a do-over. Still, the Cavs hung tough behind their scrappy group of no-names and the new Ocho Cinco (Baron Davis) and overcame Bron's triple double. Good for them and good for Cleveland. They still got their boos in at the end of the game.
Here's video of the subtle throat slit hand gesture Bron made at someone in the crowd last night as the Heat began their third quarter rally. Not sure who it's directed at (could have been one of his friends or family members if he has any left in the Ohio area) but there it is.
He also did the "slit throat" move that was real classy. That's like me playing a midget, down by 4 points, and doing the throat thing after blocking a shot.
ReplyDeleteBottle, LeBron doesn't show up for the lineup call, does the jerk throat move, and then did his patented stat padding 5 points in 25 seconds when the game was out of reach (mind you, he didn't want any part of the offense when the Heat was trying to make its final push. How are you going to defend this one?
Even worse, he did the move when they were down by like 13. Hopefully I can find video of it.
ReplyDelete27/12/10. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteHe's just mad I banged his mom again.
ReplyDeleteBottle, get cable. That rebound to get his triple double was off a missed free throw in garbage time. 5 of those points came with less than a minute left and the game out of reach. Another three of those points shouldn't have counted.
ReplyDeleteHe looked scared when the possibility of a comeback was there. His team lost to the Cavs...Enough said.
In the Knicks losses to the Cavs Melo had 27 pts/8 board, and 29 pts/5 boards. You've called him a bum for those efforts.
ReplyDelete27/12/10 in a loss. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteLebron is clearly a better player than Perpmelo. No contest.
ReplyDeleteI'm calling Perpmelo a bum because his team lost 7 in a row and he sucked in the 4th quarters of those loses. Also, the Nuggets are the hottest team in the NBA now that they got rid of him.
ReplyDelete38 points a game my last 3 games hater. Get cable.
ReplyDeleteDidn't the Heat have a six game skid recently (one of which was to the Knicks)? I think you're a self loathing New Yorker.
ReplyDeleteI don't need cable to see that the Knicks are under 500 and behind the Sixers in the playoff chase.
ReplyDeleteContrary to popular belief, I do hope the Knicks do well. Carmelo is going to have to step it up (like he did last night) for that to happen.
