Can't wait for the story on that.
You have to assume Chalmers was holding LeBron accountable for something on the court, I doubt it's a Honey Nut Cheerio's type story.

LeBron is astounded by the criticism because he's the chosen one and can't be found at fault for anything.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Glass houses... first stones...


Anyway, that was right after/before Chalmers played some of the worst basketball I've ever seen him play, and the Heat were falling apart.

Stressful.
Yeah Chalmers screwed up a couple of rotations and LeBron blew up on him when Chalmers blamed him for switching/cross matching from what I saw.

Both are probably right in that both screwed something up, but LeBron shouldn't start acting like he's going to strangle him.

In a perfect world, you're right.

On the other hand, few NBA players come off as so completely infuriating as Mario Chalmers.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Mario Chalmers is their Perkins, a role player who think's he's an all-star and acts like it in the eyes of other fans.

Everyone in the media says that Chalmers thinks he's as good as "Rondo", "Irving", etc....

Mario is their punching bag..I've never seen Lebron go off or publicly yell at a teammate like they do Mario..I think after they won the 2nd title Mario did an interview and said that he told Lebron he's gonna have to stop yelling at him like that so much..lol.

Had the Heat loss this would be a bigger story and had this been a different player not named Lebron this would be painted differently.

No doubt. I like to think that he's still emotionally frozen about thirty seconds after sinking that buzzer beater for Kansas, and that's how he interacts with everyone and everything.


Most teams have that outlet valve--Tommy was Red's venting target, since Red knew Tommy could take it.

Can't wait for the story on that.

Had this been another team it already would be talked about..I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow, but I haven't seen any quotes online on if the media asked Lebron or Mario about it. They'll probably just say it was the heat of the moment.

You think it was telling them what their heart meant? Lebron probably never meant to be so bad to him.

I really don't think that's what Lebron meant to do.

Probably just an[d] incident, [that] arose from circumstance.
