I think the HEAT will win but the game is tomorrow night no?
LeBron will be in his comfort zone where he was pampered and sheltered. I think his head will have to be right despite a frosty reception. If he folds here and lays an egg then he ain't ever going to win a title because its indicative of loads of mental weakness. Its a test of adversity and winning championships you have to deal with adversity. I think this game is very important to him. He overcomes the hostile crowd, he might salvage the season and settle into the role he has created as NBA villian.
I heard that Bosh, Wade and LeBron were glad they have a game tonite in Chicago because they will fly into CLE at 3 am. That means less hecklers and trouble for them. Not exactly tough guy talk or showing they are looking forward to showdown. In fact, it shows the opposite, some guys like Jordan got off when peeps rooted against him to show them up. These guys so far definitely have not done so.
I think officials will pad LeBron's stats as always its standard league protocol. They will keep the game somewhat close until the third. I don't see them taking this one from the HEAT though as they have tons of marketing dinero sunk into them. But the HEAT are so bad they might not have too. Sideshow Bob ought to have a field day with their bigs.
