Heat fans hope karma isn't a....

There is an old saying, the way you get them...is the way you'll lose them. If you meet a person as the result of them cheating on someone, then it's highly likely they'll cheat on you too. At least that's the way the saying goes. And it's hard to sympathize with someone when their mate....who has a history of cheating...cheats on them. As we say back home...

Charge it to the game.

Miami Heat president Pat Riley must not be aware of this, because he sounded like a jilted lover in his post Finals beat down press conference.

His quote regarding the Big 3...aka Lebron James...

"You gotta stay together, if you've got the guts. You don't find the first door and run out of it".

Oh really Pat Riley? Was that your recruiting pitch to LeBron when he opted out of his contract with Cleveland?

Of course not, but Riley is not alone. I scoured through several South Florida sports talk radio stations the past few days, and Heat fans seem to share his sentiment. King James needs to show some loyalty.

You can't have it both ways.

In the aftermath of LeBron's decision...I saw a lot of jerseys being burned...and none of those people were in Miami. Heat fans could care less about the Cavaliers fans who had their hearts ripped out by their hometown hero. In fact, what we saw from Miami, was what amounted to an opening act at the Grammy Awards. There was music, smoke, lighting, and LeBron (I mean the Big 3) standing on stage.

Miami's new trophy piece.

Fast forward to today, and things have changed....just like all relationships change over time. Wade looks done, the team looks old, and Miami is starting to resemble the last team that LeBron left. Savannah James, LeBron's wife, stirred the pot yesterday by posting an Instagram picture that suggested the family may be returning home to Akron Ohio soon. She later went on to clarify that she was simply talking about a return home for the summer.

Like Heat fans believe that.....

What fuels the paranoia for Heat fans is the fact that..they know LeBron is capable of jumping ship...because he jumped to them. "It will never happen to me"...has turned into..."You gotta stay together...you don't find the..."

OK...I'll digress.

No one knows what LeBron will ultimately do, but if he does jump ship then Heat fans should expect zero sympathy. Like the old saying goes...


"You knew who LeBron was before you signed him...charge it to the game."
