Lebron's not surprised by Ainge's comment

[Eja117]

Why is LeBron even addressing DA's statement?

Well I guess when Ainge said it's almost embarrassing to complain about officiating, it must have ruffled his feathers a bit and he just wanted to fire back.

Lebron actually missed the best possible comeback: "Yes, if only I could follow the shining example Danny Ainge set during his career, in which he never once complained about officiating."

Then Ainge could say "Oh yes. I used to routinely go stretches of hundreds of minutes without a foul called against me. Yeah that used to happen all the time. I forgot. I'm glad Bron has reminded me of the good old days. "

I still find it funny that Lebron is crying about how a guy that he has 50pounds on mind you...didnt just let Lebron barrel into him shoulder first for an easty layup + 1

and to protect HIMSELF wrapped up lebron.

the heat are a dirty and physical team..but it seems they cant take the physicality back

And that's why they won't win the championship

Umm, they already did.  Complaining about fouls and getting preferential treatment seems to work for them.

Very glad that both Doc and Ainge were players and were involved in a number of skirmishes. It gives them perspective. Hopefully.

Hopefully it gives them the perspective to realize that they all make a very good living playing a children's game, and that escalating it to anything beyond the normal trash-talking and hard fouling is stupid and pointless.
