My money says that Lebron doesn't play the Cleveland game whenever they play in Cleveland. He'll probably have a phantom injury or something. If I was Spolestra I wouldn't let him within 50 feet of the court. The Heat will be fine without him

Honestly, I wouldn't want to be the guy wearing a Heat jersey that day in Cleveland.. Clevelanders are known to be ruthless, especially when it's for a certain cause.
I am definitely intrigued by what is going to happen that night.. However, I have a feeling LeBron may come down with a minor injury or illness...
It took Boozer 3 years to finally make it to a game in Cleveland.

Lebron will not sit out, he will play and get it over with. There will just be crazy security, about 5 times worse than when Usher first started coming. If anyone remembers that it was ridiculous getting into the arena.

I hope he doesn't sit out, it'll be much more fun that way.

Actually the best thing, would be to boycott the game.....and let the ego maniac play in front of 100 fans. Trade your unused ticket in for 2 others.
Or turn your back on LBJ nite.

Ah, if they'd advertise Nickel Beer Night, that'd scare LeBron from playing ANY GAME (regardless of venue) against the Cavs. You gotta be more subtle...like "Security check for guns; ignore flasks" night...or a "No one allowed admittance before blowing a 2.0" night combined with a "Anyone in the parking lot 2+ hours before the game gets a free bottle of the 151-proof liquor of their choice" promotion.

That would just hurt the Cavaliers.

It took Boozer 3 years to finally make it to a game in Cleveland.
I know a former Detroit Pistons coach and went to a game several years back (was a playoff game). The Pistons coach gave me tickets to the game and I went with my girl at the time, but he said we had to wear Pistons gear because we were going to be sitting amongst the players wives/families. We were next to Chauncey's parents and there were a bunch of wives/girlfriends near us. I can say that Cavs fans are horrible. I a a big guy, but I was a little nervous to get up and go to the bathroom because everyone that did was getting crap from our section. Luckily the Cavs won, and we were able to get out of their without a problem.
But after the game we were talking to the coach we knew, and he said that Cleveland is by far the worst place to play for an opposing teams fans. He said the Cavs fans are beyond rude and they have had several problems over the past couple years.
I thought that was pretty interesting.
Also this same trip, I had dinner next to Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller at a restaurant and the girls dad passed out and Barkley was convinced he was on an episode of punk'd. But that story is for another day.

It will be an event possibly unseen before in sports. To say the atmosphere will be venomous is a grave understatement

Pistons coach said this? Guess he forgot about Pistons fans throwing a full beer on Ron Artest. Cleveland fans are awful, I'm not going to deny that but worse than Piston fans?I dont know

I was at Game 4 of the Pistons-Cavs series back in 2009 and the Cavs crushed them and we were all so rude leaving. Literally 80% of the people there were Cavs fans and it was "Fuck Detroit!" all the way back to the interstate. Great times.

I remember going to a Cavs-Pistons playoff game in 07 and engaging in a rendition of "We don't give a damn" with many Cavs fans....
