I think you're full of shit & just pissed off he had the nerve to walk away from the Heat. It's funny that the vast majority of you Heat fans ignore then fact he's actually from NE Ohio. And keep in mind I'm not even a Cavs fan. Had he never left Miami about 99.8% of Heat fans today wouldn't have an issue w/ him.

My issue with him has never been about where he played.
Only difference for me that was when he played here I couldn't root against him.
And being from Ohio means what to him?
He's already shown he's going to do what he feels is best for him, which he should.

So what you're really saying is when he took your Heat to 4 Finals ya had no problem w/ him. The moment he left...well let's just say ya had/have issues w/ him. You asked what does being from Ohio mean to him? He's from Ohio, his wife is from the state, the vast majority of their life-long friends/family are also from that place. Maybe that means nothing to to you...it seems to mean something to him & his family though. Otherwise he wouldn't have left South Beach. Which is what really pisses you off.

I really don't think most Heat fans have a "problem" with LeBron. The worst thing I got with him was how he dicked Riley around at the end. But his passive aggressive nature is well documented. Nothing changes the fact we rented the 4 best years of his career and have 2 banners hanging in our arena for it. Every time LeBron is mentioned in basketball conversations after he retires when all time greats are discussed, the fact he fled to Miami to win 2 titles and ended up with 0 in Cleveland will be brought up. It brings a smile to my face... how about yours? Who has the problem with him again?

One thing I'm interested to see is if nerves get the best of our guys making their first ever playoffs appearance (Whiteside, J-Rich, and Winslow) in the game tomorrow night.

I think at home they'll be fine.
Next Saturday will be the true test.
I'm going to that game.
Should be fun.

A great feeling to wake up to

And remember...Don't leave early Heat fans...

Just messin' with y'all...

Al Jefferson won't start which should help the Heat. Now we could matchup the better on the ball defender in Haslem on Jefferson for longer stretches

For that, I will be thankful for Lebron's time in Miami. He gave us an exciting 4 years down in Miami. However, you could say the same for the Heat as we gave him the roster and experience to win two NBA championships. It's not that he went back to Cleveland, it's the manner in which he did it. He knew for a while that he was going back and he dicked Riley around which prevented us from improving the team. It's smart on his part as knows Riley knows how to put a quality team together. But the fact remains, he dicked us around in the end. And for that, I could never cheer for him.

 

[Heatles84]

And who the fuck cares of Turnup dislikes Lebron? Or if he liked him at one point (he was never wild about him) and now likes him? Last I checked there's no standard or protocol on how you should feel about individual players. If I want to be the biggest Draymond Green fan tomorrow, then who the fuck cares?

Well here we go

 

[Demonjoe93]

This should be a good series.

This should be a good series.

I hope not

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

So, today's games have been better.

Let's hope the trend continues...

Well, until the Clippers play.

I want that one to be a blowout..lol

 

[Demonjoe93]

Ugly start for Hornets.

 

[bksballer89]

2 early fouls on Johnson. Likely means Green will play today
