Lol @ heat fans with the excuses. Reminds me of LeBron blaming the jerseys with sleeves when spurs beat them in march. The old Boston Garden didn't have AC. That didn't seem to bother Russell or Bird. I hate to see any player leave the game like that. But it happens. Old man Duncan seemed to do just fine. Either way, one win means nothing. We won game one last year, big deal. I'm just sick of you entitled babies that can't accept a loss.
Best player on the planet having to leave the game =Gift
Yes, a huge gift. Wade had cramps too, but was able to play through it. James has had a cramping issues in the past and why not help it along with some AC "problems". What a joke. If they have to resort to crap like that, they can have the title, but Miami is still the better team.
Players on both teams had to play in the same conditions. It's unfortunate that LeBron James' body failed him, but he was the only player who really couldn't play because of the heat in the arena.
No, he was not the only one. Wade had cramping issues too, but not as severe. If one team knew beforehand they were going to play in 90 degree heat with humidity, they would prepare for it by packing appropriate nutrition (potassium, salts, minerals), while the other team would not know, and therefore unable to prepare for it. This game was a complete joke.
I can't imagine an organization risking lawsuits and potential health issues amongst thousands of fans, just to hurt the other team from winning. I don't think they had any real advantage, it just so happened that Lebron got hurt. No way anyone saw that coming.
Yes, a lot of people saw it coming with James since he has a history of cramping. Nothing triggers it easier than excessive heat.
Any updates on if it will be fixed in time? I heard it might not be fixed for game 2.
Then Game 2 should be played in a neutral city. SA is not up to the task of hosting the finals. As a matter of fact they should consider re-playing Game 1 in a neutral city in normal conditions.
