I doubt anyone else here gives a crap about basketball, but there's a pretty good chance that a franchise will have its heart ripped out Temple of Doom style this Thursday. I'm not even joking; the Cleveland sports scene isn't exactly the cheeriest to begin with, and a LeBron James choke job followed by him fleeing in free agency would be an even bigger catastrophe than if Joe Mauer had left Minnesota. When you consider that Joe Mauer leaving would probably have led to my uncle hurling himself into the Mississippi along with the rest of St. Paul, that's pretty impressive.

Oh come on you had to have known it was coming sooner or later

That doesn't make it any less interesting, particularly since Cleveland fans had more or less talked themselves into the hope that if they win there's no way LeBron could leave a defending champ without hurting his rep historically (Besides, he'd make bazillion dollars as the champ no matter who he's with). Besides, just because you know a bad thing is extremely likely doesn't make it any less painful when it rears up and bites you in the ass. Trust me, I'm a Vikings fan. I know all about getting suckered into this shit year after year. It adds an extra layer of "How was I stupid enough to hope again?" self-loathing to the whole proceedings. Cleveland fans are going through that right now and LeBron hasn't even left yet.
Storm Rider:
LeBron is a tremendous douche and emblematic of everything wrong with the NBA so I have trouble feeling sympathy for anyone in that equation.

Bahahahahaha Bruins. Seriously, 3-0 up until Simon Gagne comes back and then single-handedly destroys you in the next 4 games, that's pretty embarrassing.
