The NBA is a business and it wants to make money. It makes money by creating interest through fans spending their money. How would the Cleveland fans feel if they got blown out by 20 tonight? Basically the Cavs fans would hide in their basements the rest of the season if they got destroyed because they would feel like Lebron told them to fawk right off. From the business standpoint the worst thing possible would be a Miami blowout. As well, this game is on TN mothafukkin T and it is the most hyped game of the season so far. Yes statements will be made and Cleveland will play like it's game 7 for the championship.

Lebron got booed

just from the intros you can tell the Cavs have lots of emotion. I think they're going to make a few mistakes early just from trying to do too much but once they settle it down they'll play good ball.Comment -
Personally, I got a grip of cash on the Heat.
Cavs heart is in it, but this is a game the Heat need.Comment -
in your eyes is this game more important to the Heat?Originally posted by darrell74

This game is more important to the Cavs fans, than the Heat fansw.
However, I believe the Heat have to show Lebron that they will support him in a very hostile environment. This is a team building opportunity for the Heat.
The Cav players aren't as mad as the fans. This game means more to the Heat players in showing their support for a teammate that made the sacrifice.
Another reason I wagered heavily on the Heat is that Cleveland isn't very good.
The Heat seems to beat up sub 500 teams.Comment -
...because of the phantom shooting fouls called against Miami

Hmm. WRONGComment -
Well I had this game misread for sure. It's certainly a letdown match that was hyped up leading to nothing. Going to watch something else on tv now.Comment -
I don't feel it was hyped up because of how great the game was going to be. It was because he was his first game back.Originally posted by hels
I ended up not betting on this one but its going the way I hoped it to go.

if you consider 30 points a close game you are right on. i hope you didnt put any more on thatComment -
As an unbiased fan, I tip my hat to LeBron for this game. Mid-way through 2 quarters he got 1/4 of the fans to stop cheering, and through 3 quarters, half of them left. Although its expected from him every night, I'm very impressed by his performance tonight.Comment -

Much props to the Heat. They looked great and the Cavs looked atrocious.
I thought the Cavs were going to be competitive, but I was dead wrong. Laughably wrong.
