    Tonight is the perfect example of why I don't understand why people say Lebron RAN TO TEAM UP WITH TWO HALL OF FAMERS.

    **** went straight down hill as soon as he cramped up. Chris Bosh should have sat on the bench with him.

    That's the thing right there.
    Its not a matter of mental toughness.
    It was an unfortunate circumstance, especially with the weird A/C problem.

    You can't will your way out of cramps.

    I'm pretty sure if the Rockets were in the Finals and this incident happened in Toyota Center, you'd see the same reaction from our fans.

    People criticizing Lebron...

    ... why aren't we criticizing the Miami Heat? This team was assembled with 3 of the NBA's top 10 players and added one of the greatest shooters of all time. Sounds great, right? Well, people forget to mention what kind of players Wade, Allen, Bosh are now. People love to make their arguments sound so great by stating those things. But, really, the Heat Team (minus Lebron) is just OK. Not to mention, their "supporting cast." This team should've at least CHALLENGED the Spurs to keep the lead. Lost by like 15 when they were UP with a few minutes to go before Lebron went out.

    Instead of noticing the difference one player makes (see Cleveland with Lebron and without Lebron), we choose to divert our attention elsewhere.

    Spurs fans are so classless. LOL.
    I still don't care who wins the series, but even if the Spurs win I hope Spurs fans somehow lose. Tim Duncan is all class, too bad the fans are not.

    Spurs are so much older I thought they would have a bigger problem with fatigue. Also, Heat should not be THAT bad without Lebron. They should have been able to hold that lead a bit longer, or at least lose the lead a lot slower.

    It's unfortunate to see the game contested without the best player. OTOH, I'm not so certain the Spurs wouldn't have made a run if Lebron was in the game.

    ooo we have a Lebron lover here. Sorry your boy couldn't play through a cramp.

    Yeah San Antonio fans celebrate cramps, while we, Houston fans, celebrate real injuries to our own players.

    and people in Houston root for this team :p

    They better hope Lebron will continue cramping up, because until that point the Heat looked like they were going to steal that one.

    I still feel Spurs would have straight dominated either way. The way they shot in the fourth quarter was godlike. Other than that, close game, great game and the rest of the series should be close as hell.

    As always, Wade dodges criticism and all the blame goes to Lebron. You're a superstar, act like it.

    Have any of you tried to play a sport while cramping? Let me answer that for you...

    No! Because it's near impossible to walk on your own. Lebron is the main ball handler, scorer, and plays defense, of course he would get tired throughout a game and that fatigue can lead to cramps easily.

    There's a difference from having the sniffels and cramps for people who want to bring MJ in this.

    As well as obligatory photoshops, memes and gifs that would surely be present in the GARM.

    Can't hate the team though. Other than Ginobili and Splitter.
    Wait... what?

    Rafor Alston was ripped and he routinely played street ball in 100+ weather. C'mon lebron, not blaming you for this game, but giddy on up. You wanted Miami cause of the weather, well sometimes when you hide from the sun, the sun comes to you
