After losing to the Pacers (!) Monday night by double digits, Lebron stated they "weren't having any fun at all", and apparently had a heated exchange with Coach Spoelstra in the locker room. The Heat are now 8-6 (they were 9-5 after 14 games last year). Most of northeast Ohio for sure (and likely much of the nation) are probably enjoying watching this. Personally, doesn't bother me a bit Lebron's not having any fun. Hope it continues for several years.

It's time to bring back the dancing Queen Lebron to Miami. Oh and he needs to start taking fake pictures of his teammates too.

Bill Simmons had a funny take on this......
Bill Simmons (1:11 PM)
I have 2 theories on this...1. LeBron signing with Miami was like two people getting married in Vegas - it seemed like an awesome idea in the moment and I don't think he put any real thought into it. I think the dude was in pain from the Boston series and what happened behind the scenes, and he wanted to play with his buddies and Wade/Riley really won him over and said all the right thing and suddenly he was saying the words "take my talents to South Beach." and now it's the next morning and he's in some hotel room in Vegas going, "Wait, can we get this annulled."

I'm surprised ESPN and LBJ didn't concoct a two hour special to let us know this news.

Simmons is great, but he was the biggest Lebron nut-hugger last year and he's done a 180. I don't mind it, but he seems overly obsessed with him, whether it was last year or this year.

Hmmm, can't blame Simmons for doing a 180 on LeBron. The whole town of Cleveland has and majority of the country. His true colors came out and it bit him in the ass.

Who wasn't a Lebron nut-hugger last year? Simmons has the same reaction as everyone else outside of south Florida, and the anti-Cleveland fans. It seemed like when this all happened in June or July, there were two schools of thought among the media: 1) Lebron's incredibly egotistical and has no competitive drive, and 2) Leave the guy alone, he's doing what's best for him and owes nothing to no one.
What I liked about Simmons was that yes he fell into category one, but he also sympathized with the Cleveland fans, realizing that we were the ones who really lost out. We went from a team with so much talent that never really won anything important, to now being destroyed by the damn Pacers.

But if you would have read the Simmons stuff prior to "The Decision" you wouldn't think his 180 was possible. He was Lebron's BIGGEST fan.
But I give Simmons credit because when all Disney employees were told that criticism of Lebron was off limits and no one was to address the Delonte rumors, Simmons was ALL OVER IT!. So, I respect him for not being a "Yes Sir".

I know that's the perception (that they were told not to critique him) but was that ever confirmed?

Does it have to be? Who is going to confirm it? Disney?
There was never one mention of the Delonte rumors on any Disney affiliate. I highly doubt it's just a coincidence.

Lol LBJ nut-hugger calling another lbj nut-hugger a nut-hugger. Funny coming from Mr., " I'm not a cavs fan, I'm a LeBron fan and only go to cavs games to watch LBJ which makes me a better Cavs fan than you bc I paid to see the team play"

I love it when assholes like LBJ get smacked in the face by reality.
Hopefully, it continues for the length of his contract.

I guess Simmons didn't have much of a chance to get away with being a "nut-hugger" turned Lebron-hater, I mean the majority of the Cavs fans on this board had the same transformation. They can identify with Simmons. It was funny how Lebron went from GOAT to "Robin" over night.

Sometimes, I really love Phil Jackson for his way of knowing just when to send those little verbal barbs towards other teams people talk about as being a contender.
Try to instigate a bit of chaos and see what happens."The scenario that sits kind of behind the scene, is that eventually these guys that were recruited -- Bosh and James -- by Pat Riley and Micky Arison, the owner, are going to come in and say, 'We feel you [Riley] can do a better job coaching the team. We came here on the hopes that this would work,' and whatever, I don't know," Jackson said. "That's kind of my take on it, is that eventually if things don't straighten out here soon, it could be the Van Gundy thing all over again."
