I have now officially "watched" more NBA action tonight than I have in the past three years combined, I think.
 
Now I remember why I don't watch the NBA. I don't know what was worse, this game or the Cavs intro. I'm going to watch My Name is Earl.

Mustangj17 likes this status. I would rather watch ESPN classic football games where the team I root for loses.
 
I don't mind that he threw the powder in the air. He's done it his whole career, don't know why it should be different tonight. I know some might think it's a slap in the face of the fans, but I disagree.

I've been wondering what kind of reception Brian Windhorst would get...

If they put his face on the big screen, what percentage of the fans would know who he is?
 
I'm just holding out hope that somebody unexpected shows up on the court, as long as it's not my mom.

Because it's a slap in the face to his former fans, perhaps?

In Cleveland? A lot. I'm assuming his mug ran with his notebooks, as most papers do (Cleveland people can correct if wrong) and he wrote for both the papers in the area.

Yup.
 
To this point, I think the fans have been perfectly fine. So has LeBron. Electric atmosphere. Playoff-like.

I'm mystified about the idea that this kind of electricity somehow validates people's lack of interest in the league.

I guess I'm different. I like the NBA a lot.

The slap in the face is the way he left.

If he does the chalk thing in every other arena he should do it in Cleveland as well.
 
Is it wrong that I have no interest in this game exept for the fact that LeBron's Elbow has been active again on Facebook?

Been told by someone at the game it's the loudest crowd they have ever heard at a sporting event. I'm guessing the crowd mikes are being killed for fear of what might get out over the air.

The mikes do seem lower. It's hard to make out the chants.
