While watching last night's game between Boston and Miami, I couldn't help but ask...is this the old Cleveland team in Heat uniforms? I am sure that LeBron James is asking the same thing. You may not believe in karma, but I'm sure it's weighing on LeBron's mind now. It's almost as if the same things that plagued and angered James as a Cavalier have reared their ugly head on South Beach. Somewhere in Cleveland...a groundhog is laughing.
Remember the "King's Cavaliers"? They were a one man show, a regular season juggernaut, and a playoff disappointment. LeBron won back to back MVP's and was the best player on the planet. But each postseason he would be let down by a bunch of coulda been's, shoulda been's, and has been's. Players who were once solid, but a year or two past their prime. Or worse, players that never reached their projected potential. LeBron would put up Herculean stats only to fall short...and take all of the blame. James left Cleveland to get some help. I guess life is not without a sense of irony.
LeBron is once again MVP. The Heat were a regular season juggernaut. And so far, the role players have been a disappointment against Boston. LeBron is averaging 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists in the eastern conference finals. 32,9, and 4? Stop playing! LeBron is right back in Cleveland...having to put up stats like these to be tied after four games. And to another inferior team. Chris Bosh is out, and Dwayne Wade is having arguably the worst playoff performance of his career. LeBron is once again forced to carry the load. Isn't that supposedly why he left Cleveland? The only thing different about this team than the Cavaliers are the expectations. Could it be the curse of the "decision"? Only time will tell. For now LeBron...at least you're in South Beach. follow @plcolter
