Final score of 112-57, not a single starter on the Cavs hit double figures in scoring. "Dismal" doesn't even begin to describe that.

LeBron is an awesome villain.
Tweeted during the Cavs game wrote:Crazy. Karma is a b****.. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!

On another note:
I will say I witnessed quite simply the worst play I've ever seen at the NBA level, when Ryan Hollins, after blocking Kobe Bryant underneath led the Cavs up court, flanked by teammates on each side. He proceeded to more or less hand the ball to Pau Gasol, stationed about three-quarters of the way up to half court. Gasol flipped it to Kobe, who popped the ball off the backboard to Andrew Bynum for a dunk as James Naismith flopped like a landed trout in his grave.

Effectively, Hollins turned a five-on-two break into a three-on-oh the other way.

Also Andrew Bynum:
well if we held Golden State to 57 then it might actually mean something!

I heard that Cavaliers moved the hotel because the Heat were to stay in the same hotel(playing Clippers). Probably that got into Bron's head.

Anyways, Cavaliers are a fucked up team. It's only amazing what Bron did with this crap team back in his days as one of them. Cavaliers are pretty much the same team from last year just without Bron and old Shaq, yet look how they're awful these days. I say it's a good thing he's outta there now. Perhaps, the way it went down wasn't the best possible way but looking at how Cavaliers were giving Bron all that pressure, he probably could not have just said 'no, i ain't gonna be wit u next season' in the face. And also looking at how the Cavs and fans have been and are still shitting at Bron, I say they didn't deserve Bron from the beginning.

Lakers nearly doubled the Cavs score. Damn.

Also, Nick Young from Washington got 43 points - career high. :applaud:

No doubt, yet another eye-rolling statement from LeBron. I guess he really just doesn't get.

I don't want to see him get injured though. I think karma will come back in the playoffs :) I wouldn't mind if Bulls beat them in a series :P

Agreed, I wouldn't want to see that happen to anyone. A playoff defeat would be fitting karmic retribution.

Dumb Gilbert, Byron not, do something fast!!! This is unacceptable, Lebron is one person, not 5 players. I may as well go back to rooting for the orlando magic again since i'm surrounded by magic and heat fans down here. Cleveland cavaliers ugh!!! (N)

Been rooting for the cleveland cavaliers for 29 years, tired of disappointments, i'm taking my fanship to orlando. 57 points is unacceptable.
Cleveland wins

So apparently, LeBron wasn't referring to the Cavs with that Tweet. Or maybe he was. Or maybe he didn't mean it quite like that. Or someone else said it. Or something.

Tough loss for the Heat. On more important note, does anyone feel that teams bring their A game when playing the Heat? The teams seem to play more physical and motivated. Like today... The trio like benji mentioned before, they're constantly being challenged with dirty fouls and cheap shots.

Also the fans everywhere boos Bron and Heat seem to have become a common enemy to everyone. Even it motivates Bron and cos, this hate thing's really getting old. Has this type of on going hate by fans ever happened before in the NBA?

On topic, props to the Clippers. Amazing to see them playing so well. Remember how we joked about Clippers starting the season so slow, 1-12 or something. They've come a long way.

Fans always boo opponent's best players. It's nothing new really. Only difference is there's a bit more venom in it. I don't see an issue with it.

now i remember why mario chalmers always comes up in the "worst player in the nba" conversations all the time... he picks a fight & talks shit to blake griffin then hides behind lebron when blake comes after him. and then at the end of the game, baron is dribbling the clock out and mario gets an easy steal to pad his stats :shake:

Loving the Clippers fans for some reason. They seem alive and really cheer for the clips, unlike the Mavs
