I predict an incredible amount of stupidity will transpire in this thread.

And 'Lo, Bob Ryan Doth Appear.

As much as I love to see LeBron and the Heat lose, it's only one game, folks. And they have two days off before the next one. I'm sure the A/C will be working for Game 2, and I'm sure LeBron will me striking back with a vengeance.

Let's also not forget that the Spurs took Game 1 last year, too, and look what good it did them.

If anything, this sets up what could be the grossest LeBron storyline ever, akin to Jordan's so-called "flu game": "LeBron Overcomes Cramps to Lead Heat to Third Straight Title."

Not denigrating Bird's performance or play at all -- but its telling that no one who follows or coverts sports with an iota of common sense is spouting that kind of self-aggrandizing nonsense. Bob Ryan is a joke, and I really hate the fact that he's one of the biggest faces in the Boston sports media.

I'd like to add that every time Miami lost Game 1 (last year vs Chicago, last year vs Spurs, this year vs Pacers, vs Spurs, etc) they bounce back up and win Game 2 and eventually the series.

I guess LeBron couldn't handle the Heat....

Good point. In fact, five times the LeBron-era Heat have lost Game 1 of a playoff series, and all five times they went on to win the series.

Knowing LeBron they were probably menstrual cramps.

  Try harder to ignore him. It works for me.

Professional hazard, unfortunately.

It's too bad since Ray's Game 6 shot has mostly made people forget about Parker's ridiculous Game 1 clincher:

I shed a single tear at my own suffering each morning.
