This isn't a game thread or anything....I was just wondering what do you expect from this game?

Do you expect the Cavs to win(emotional game play like against the Celts)? Do you expect there to be more than usual security? Do you think there will be an incident that will make us Cleveland fans look bad?

Just wondering what everyone is expecting/fearing...

No way in hell this(current) Cavs team will win.

I don't care how the Heat are playing right now, the Cavs don't have 2 guys that can guard Bron and Wade.

I don't think they will win either....

But I think this will be one of those games where there is a bunch of hype and worrying about what will happen...and it will be a snoozer without any excitement on or off the court.

Over under on technicals/flagrants I'll say 3.
Who cares about the score I just want to see what the fans do/react when Bron has the ball.

That is more of where I am wanting this thread to go. The actual game isn't going to be why everyone tunes in....

I hope they give it him from warm-ups to postgame. No throwing shit or anything like that but a nice Lebron licks nuts chant the whole first quarter or something like that.

I honestly think this game lost some luster due to Miami's struggles. They they went into this game with 2-3 losses, it would be much more talked about.

I wouldn't be surprised if some mysterious injury (like the elbow thing in the playoffs) comes up for this game and then suddenly goes away. I can easily see him skipping this game.

He'll be sitting at South Beach. I mean he'll be "rehabbing" in Miami. He saw how Boozer always skipped the games in Cleveland after leaving. I wouldn't be surprised to see LeBron do the same thing.

I think the Cavs can win. The Heat aren't exactly world beaters.

As far as Brons, he will get plenty of shit if he decides to even show up.

I hope the fans there make this a night LeBron will never forgot, just as long as they don't resort to racism or find a way to get arrested (throwing bottles).

What do you guys think should be the top 5 chants? I hope they get a Gloria/Delonte chant going.

LeBron isn't going to fake an injury. He will play in this game.

Complete indifference to his presence is the ultimate sting if that's what the fans are looking for. Anything else would be received as flattery.

LeBron cannot miss this game. Its one of the things he just has to do in order to win back some public affection. Taking it like Gloria does from Delonte by Cleveland fans will go a long way towards people forgetting about it.

The Cavs have a shot in this game. There aren't many teams in the league that can guard Wade and Judas one on one and yet they are 8-6. I'm not saying it will happen but I wouldn't be surprised. Heat have great talent but right now they are an average team.

As far as the fans behavior. This could get really ugly. I dont think there will be anything thrown onto the court. Some of the things people will be saying are gonna be awful. Some that I have heard mentioned on radio as well as over on RCF

"Akron Hates You"..........my personal favorite
"Quitter"
"Lebron sucks"
"Scottie Pippen"
etc....

I disagree KR. I think things will be thrown onto the court. Cleveland has a reputation to throw things when they aren't happy.


However, I have this feeling that Danny Boy is going to have some huge to do about not doing these types of things and the fans might actually listen....

Ha I bet if he did this to any Detroit team he'd definitely get beat up. Btw read Bill Simmons article about can the Heat work, it's really good. Bottomline is Lebron and Wade really don't work without Coach K on the sidelines

Despite what wanna of you Cavs "fans" think,Lebron isn't the slightest bit scared of coming to Cleveland and I would bet he will put up his best game of the entire season
