Leg Cramps for LeBron.......S-T-E-R-O-I-D-S......although I could be wrong 

boo hoo for the heat....they've had every break in the book the last 3 years.

I don't see anyone making fun of James. Where did that come from?

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

This looks like nearly every other season, Lebron gets "injured" or cramps (not a joke) and he comes out next game and goes for 30+.

I hate this b/c it just will fuel LeBron to another chip. Ugh.

[D.o.s.]

By the tone of the posts, I'm assuming some people here haven't had thigh cramps. Impossible to play through.

Thigh cramps are really painful, but whenever there is a chance to make fun of LeBron, you take it.

Meh. I'm with Van Gundy on this one -- I'd rather watch the heat lose at full strength.

On the flip side, San Antonio up 1. That's excellent.

I have had a thigh cramps before I just run it out that is what ballas do

[Ogaju]

LeCramp James is *not* Superman, after all.

judas has had some nice dunks this year, better than anything he did in those last couple years in boston. must be that warm miami air.
glad to see the heat lose, though they might well be the most unlikable team i've ever seen in sports - dirty, privileged, whiny, arrogant... their body language is especially sickening, they cover all the bases
the most underrated aspect of this matchup is the fact that the heat are facing a team that gets a lot of calls, though not as many as they do - the refs love duncan and popovitch

The Spurs look like a better team this year while Miami looks the same. If they can take advantage down low when they need to with Splitter/Duncan and with the shooters they got Miami looks to be in trouble. Love it

Game over, and before midnight, too.  Double win.

LOL...HaHa

Had the same thought..

Spurs look in control throughout the game despite the Heat snatching the lead at times. The turnovers kept them from blowing the game wide open earlier.

I didn't think so at all. When the Heat went up 7 in the fourth they looked like they were probably going to steal it.

Haha agreed. Hate the 9 oclock start times.

I'm a 215lb guy with low body fat who runs marathons and 70 mile triathlons.  Cramping is a huge issue for me when the weather is very hot/humid and the race is long.  I do everything I can on the days leading up to race day such as supplementing with electrolyte pills which I even bring to use during the races.  No matter what precautions I take there are times when the cramping happens.  And when it happens it was just like what happened to Lebron.  I can run a few steps and then the hamstrings and quads just tighten up into knots and there is no running through it.  I've had a couple races where I have looked ridiculous trying to finish a race by running without bending my knees or even running backwards.

So I'm glad Lebron's cramps worked in the Spurs favor but I really empathize with him.  There was nothing he could do about it.  It didn't matter if he had the determination of Jordan or Bird.  The legs just weren't going to work at the end of that game.
