LeBron James made call to wear black sleeved jerseys, I'm told. J.R. Smith says that jersey symbolizes pride. #Cavs were prideful tonight.

"I don't know, it might be mental, man," James said. "It's OK. The jerseys are nice. We love the jerseys. The black looks great. It's been awhile since this franchise has worn black. So it's great to be out there and wear those uniforms. I was in my own way. I was frustrated with my shot, I couldn't make a bucket, so like I said, I had to take it out on something."

- LeBron James

Interestingly enough, James has actually played well while wearing sleeved jerseys this season. According to SI's Kenny Ducey, James averaged 29.2 points on 54.4 percent shooting, 5.8 rebounds and 7.6 rebounds in five games while wearing a sleeved jersey this season. All five of those games were also Cavs wins.

I am happy Cleveland won game 5, as had they lost we would be seeing them in those jerseys over and over again throughout the summer as the last game of the NBA season.

Those things are awful.

An Oregon fan talking about someone else's awful uniforms. Thought I'd seen it all. :scratch:
