You don't ice a cramp. And you don't get a cramp from falling over either...

I thought the ice was strange. But no, you fall over after getting the cramp.

 

[exzibit3]

My first thought was that he bruised his ego when he fell over. lol

The treatment didn't seem to suit any particular type of injury. The drink and stretching indicates cramp, but I didn't think ice was good for a cramp, just a tear or strain!

Nope. Ice helps to numb the pain and is part of the mangement for cramps besides stretching and electrolytes (hence the Gatorade).

Nah man he was cramping badly. You could see him getting treatment during each timeout from then on and you could see when they are stretching his hamstring and thighs, he is in serious pain. I've had cramps during sports and man, those are just a searing burning sensation and when the muscle refuses to loosen up, its just stiff just like Lebron's movement. No way Spoz wants to keep Lebron out for the last minute with only a 2 possession ballgame if it wasn't serious. Lebron still scored twice after the cramps so nothing about him fading in performance or wanting to fake it.

It was funny to see him limp on D and run fine on O, but you could see the lag in his jumper after that. So either they don't know what the pain is, or their medico staff don't know what they are doing!

I agree that there is no sense in saying he faked it! And no way would they want him out for the last minute, although, rumour has it that he got some really helpful advice on the matter:

You don't ice a cramp. And you don't get a cramp from falling over either...

I thought that was the case, although it is possible that a cramp caused the fall. If you look at it slowly, he didn't slip, his foot never really got on the ground properly???

Yeah, it does help as an after the fact treatment, but it doesn't help if you want to keep moving!

I don't ever recall a topline prob basketballer going down with cramp with a minute to go in the fourth!! Must be an injury. Okc gonna need a miracle.

 

[exzibit3]

Nope icing the cramps was the right treatment at the time besides the fluids and stretching. Lebron was in pain as well and the ice is going to help with that and lessen the inflammation for him to have any chance to get back in the game. Unfortunately, he was too much of a liability to be on the floor on offense or defense so Spoz left him out.

Good win by the Heat. Bet Lebron is beginning to smell his first championship!

 

[Jaames]

Really hope the Heat win the next to give LeBron that first ring on home court. Will be hyped to see Eddy Curry get a ring also.

 

[ozballer23]

Lol Curry played at his best this series

 

[Mico]

Can't wait to get home and watch the replay. Is James the same age as Jordan when he got his first ring? Hope Miami win it, would be good to see Wade get another and for James to finally get the ring he deserves for being THE BEST BASKETBALLER IN THE LEAGUE for the last few years.

 

[spurlec]

Please don't put Lebron and mj in the same sentence....

 

[Mico]

Please don't put Lebron and mj in the same sentence....

No-one will ever be MJ, but you can put him in the same sentence every now and then.

 

[drobfan8]

Maybe he slipped on your tears from all the crying about ref calls?

It could be all the semen from you getting too excited over Lebron

 

[Jaames]

It could be all the semen from you getting too excited over Lebron

Probably true.

 

[exzibit3]

Good grief spurlec. Seriously? I mean, seriously? The question was when MJ got his first ring.. SMFH.

 

[spurlec]

Bite

 

[kenny3011]

Not here particularly, more so on other card forums and basketball forums, but Im really enjoying the reactions of people who were saying Thunder in 4,5,6 etc after their first win

MJ was 29, not sure if LJ is 28 or 29.
But the test comes from keeping a team together. Battier is about 34, and I think the rest are 30 and below.
They have at least 4 Eastern Conference Champs in them, but I think OKC can be a greater team.
I wonder what Dwight is thinking.

 

[spurlec]

How long did Dwight sign for?

MJ was 29, not sure if LJ is 28 or 29.
