The World According To.....Me: Blogging Lebron vs Cavs.

Thursday, December 02, 2010

Earlier today I blogged about Lebron's return to Cleveland. I figured I'd keep a running entry.

Lebron boos drowned out when starting lineups were announced because Big Z got cheered
I mentioned earlier today that Lebron needed to be the better man, bad call by him to do his powder ritual.
LeBron James will either get 60 points tonight or go 2-20 from the field.

First Quarter

Nice to see Cavs fans booing Lebron every time he touches the ball. Toronto STILL does this when Vince Carter comes to town
Tweet of the night? h/t @heavenlyskyes

I feel bad for whoever is handing the delay for TNT tonight. These chants are getting ugly.
Just realized that 40% of the starting lineups tonight are former Raptors (Arroyo, Bosh, Graham and Parker)
"Akron hates you" chant with about 3:40 left in 1st
Marv Albert just said they are only selling beverages in paper cups because of safety concerns
Creative signs so far:

At the end of 1 Miami leads 31-24. Solid first quarter for LeBron who quietly got 10 points (4-8 FG) , 4 Rebounds and 5 assists.

Second Quarter

Long rest for Lebron. He's sat out most of this 2nd quarter.
This Kia commercial is very strange.
Best game yet for the big 3? They are playing at a faster pace then usual. Don't know why they haven't played at this pace a lot more this season.
Crowd was much tamer here in the 2nd quarter with LeBron's extended bench time and the Miami heat pulling away to make this a 19 point game. Lebron has 14 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Miami leads 59-40.
Absolutely agree with Charles Barkley. He just called out Byron Scott for not having control over his bench. They're joking around with Lebron while he is destroying them.
Ernie Johnson just said that the best chant of first half was "Akron hates you." He obviously picked that one because it was the only he could repeat on TV!

Third Quarter

Now we're getting into the danger zone - game is becoming a blowout and the beers are still flowing.

They're chanting "Scottie Pippen."
This is just getting ugly now. Lebron is firing on all cylinders, he's just toying with them
From Tim Reynolds, the Associate Press reporter who covers Miami Heat

"Akron hates you" chant is back.
95-65 at the end of 3. Lebron has 38 points (15-25 from the field), 5 rebounds and 8 assists. That should be it for him.
This is where things could get ugly. People who have been drinking all night sitting through a blowout.
For ESPN's streak for the cash game my pick tonight was LeBron total points over Cleveland field goals. It is 38 to 20 at the moment. I win!
