Cleveland and Miami squared off Thursday night, and while the story leading up to the game was the unfathomably awesome possibility of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James playing on the same team, the story (at least microcosmically) coming out of the game is the following dunk that Wade threw down on Anderson "Flopsy" Varejao. It is, as the Hoop Docs put it, "posterization."
(And quickly, I'd just like to say that while I feel supremely sorry for the good people of Cleveland and their sports sorrows, I'm willing to sacrifice their mental well-being if it means Bron and Wade getting to play together. I can't help it -- I'm greedy like that.)

Why would it bother Cleveland fans if Dwayne Wade decided to join homestater LeBron James in Ohio?

Like LeBron said at halftime his buddy Dwayne is an awesome player and took Andy down.In the end who won the game? Wade can come to Ohio if the Cavs want him.Cleveland is going to sell the Terminal Tower to keep James.

I have no problem with Lebron and Wade playing together in Cleveland - Perhaps Wade will sacrifice a couple of bucks to play with his bud - thanks for the sentiment - no apology necessary

The fact is that no superstar in their prime wants to be on the same team as LeBron. It makes for good talk, but no one really wants to do it. Whoever plays with LeBron has to give up himself to be part of the supporting cast. LeBron is the biggest ball hog in the history of the NBA. Don't let his high assists total fool you. In LeBron's case the high assists are a NEGATIVE statistic, because they are indicative that it is HIS ball to pass. No point guard on LeBron's team will ever average more than 4 assists per game.

Actually it was a charge, Verajoa's feet were set. Dwayne Wade gets every call including 1 last night on Z who didn't touch him, and another where he jumped into Jamario Moon.

Check the video again you retard. Varejao not only didnt have his feet set, he actually jumped and "tried" to block the dunk. And who in their right mind would want to play and live in a dump like Cleveland by choice??!! We'll be waiting for you with open arms down here in sunny Miami LeBron.

Don't know what the big deal is...He dunked the damn ball over Varejo. And Varejo will dunk the ball in games also. They're 6'6??? They should do this. In the end...Cleveland WON!!!!!!!!!

etraund,,,as far as LeBron wanting to play there because it's Miami, who the hell cares. He's got a family, so there goes the women there, and they have great looking women in the midwest anyway. Your beaches are filled with nothing but wannabee movie stars who can't make it as a star. Half the women there are as fake as can be, from body parts to personalities. The other half are cuban refugees. You can keep your "little havana" in Miami and you keep thinking it's some desired place while we all laugh at your sorry town. Your crime rate is thru the roof and your beaches suk. You got nothing in that town that Wade or LeBron can't go and have every off season if they want it. Miami, what a chit hole. At least Cleveland is REAL.

estraund, I have been to Miami several times, Nasty place to live. flat as a board, flith everywhere, everything is teal and peach. I have never seen a real tree, just palm trees and those ugly scraggly tree with no leave. Miami is warm in the winter, that's it! In fact all of Florida is a big sandpit loaded with non-americans on welfare. THe crime rate there is so high and I forgot to mention those nasty bugs EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If any of you have been to the suburbs of Cleveland you know that it's beautiful country side with rolling hills loaded with rivers and streams. Apple orchards and wineries everywhere. If you like 99 heat 8 months of the years and tacos, Miami is for you!

Uh, Mike, isn't Cleveland the place where the crazy dude had about a dozen women buried in his house? Suffice to say Cleveland has more than its fair share of craphole neighborhoods; I have been there. Miami is no paradise, but it has awesome weather.

My bad, his feet are in the restricted area. FU Elraund Miami sucks, worse city in the country for crime BYOBG. Bring your own body guard. Why don't you go visit your boy friend in South Beach.

Yeah...Miami as far as crime is no worse than Cleveland. At least I can wear shorts year round in Miami! Lebron would be more likely to come to Miami because they will have alot more $$$ to give him. The Heat have been preparing for next off season for years. It doesn't matter, they will both probably wind up in New York, anyway!

And as far as the dunk, WHO CARES???? The Cavs still beat the hell out of you on your home court. This is really how bad the Heat are, they have a hard on over a dunk on some guy and don't mind losing. In case you have forgotton, it's ALL about the "W" baby.

If I were a coach and wanted to win, I'd give anything to have LeBron on my team because he IS the best. He is NOT a ball hog. He's just the best and expected to SHOOT!
