What do we do when he comes to Cleveland?

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I, for one, want to send a message to other NBA fans that he quit on us to take the easy road. Anything that involves "quitter," "quitness," etc will probably get perceived as we are mad that he simply left, not that he consciously tanked in the playoffs. I'm not creative enough to come up with a simple witty chant right now, but I just wanted to point out how I think a simple quitting chant will get misconstrued by the national media / fans.

Really, you think so? Personally, despite ESPN acting like the issue is off limits, I've heard a lot of talk about it, in the area and even where I live (FL).

I feel like that's something that would be a good thing to "bring up" (meaning, scream about it), because there's nothing he can do it about. Like, if fans chant some wittier version of "quitter", he can't shove it in their faces by playing hard NOW. You could construe that as, yeah, he did quit, and was desperate to leave and go play with his bizzoys on the Heat.

I just think, that in my opinion and clearly the opinion of many other people...you Quit, bro. You Gave Up. Expect to hear about it forever.
 
Not enough time to read this whole thing over again, so this may be a repeat.

1) Have the Q put colored cards under all of the seats, at least in the lower bowl, that when held up, reads "Quitter" ala Block O at Ohio Stadium or the like. Use that for when the Heat are introduced.

2) I like the "Akron Hates You" chants. That will sting him even if he doesn't show it.

3) Show highlights during breaks titled "Thank you for the last 7 years" and only feature Z clips.

4) Sign Brock Lesnar to a 10 day contract to patrol the middle.
 
If I am at the Cavs/Heat game and I see a fan next to me throw something, I'm blasting them in the face and they won't see it coming.

If you can't take it, don't dish it.

Enough embarrassing ourselves as a sports town. Take the high road for once. I'm getting sick of the butt-hurt whining and crying.

Besides, who lives here if they don't have to anyway? Not many.

Blasting someone in the face makes the city and yourself look much better? Don't think so buddy, that's just lowering yourself down to their level man. I wouldn't like it if people are throwing batteries, but if it's jerseys or shirts or something like that, what's the big deal? It's inevitable that something is going to happen, so hopefully it just doesn't cause physical harm.

It'd be good if the stuff put together officially by the organization (highlights and jumbotron) would be ostensibly harmless but clearly pointed shots like that Z idea. Leave it to the crowd to get mean cheers and chants going on.

I really REALLY want to hear (among other things) some version of "Akron hates you".
 
I think Akron hates you really is the only acceptable chant. All night long. Nonfucking stop.

Hmm, I wonder what it would take for a full page ad in the Miami wtfever their paper is.
Dear LeBron,
We Hate You Too.
Formerly yours, Akron.

On a further note, I've already booked a hotel room out of state for Dec 2nd.

When they announce his name, everyone in the arena turn around and drop their britches.
 
During the announcement of the Heat line-up, turn around and stay cold-stone silent for everyone (unless Z happens to be starting). Silence, not being looked at: these are things Lebron James cannot stand. He'd rather people look at him with hate than not look at him at all.

During the game, well, I like anything that stresses his evil, quitting ways.

Look, he's going to come in motivated and probably drop a triple-double. Any taunting he receives isn't going to make it that much worse. As long as it's not violent, the protesting is merely a way to voice our displeasure nationally. Keep it in the minds of other people that he quit so the story doesn't go away.
 
OK, how about Celtic's jerseys (or cheap green t-shirts with Celtics across the front) with the number 6 and James (or the words "Game 5 MVP") across the back? That should get the quitter/tanking point across, No?
 
I'd love it if the PA announcer never mentioned his name. Introduce him as #6, and everytime he scores just say "2 pts Miami Heat"... or "at the free throw line with 2 attempts... #6"

I'd also love to see a video segment of saying thanks for 7 years and showing him tanking in Boston, him missing FT's, and other clips of bad games, etc.

I don't want to do anything he expects.
 
hey guys, don't know if you have seen this... but maybe you can use it for a chant.

Just had a thought.......Don't mess with Lebron at all, except for the silent treatment.


Do something to injure Bosh and Wade.

Then see how he likes playing with that roster vs. Cleveland's


You know at some point, Wade is going to go down hard and Lebron will be all alone again because I'm sorry, Bosh isn't a good enough wingman to get it all done with Lebron.

By the way. I still think Wade is the biggest pussy in the NBA. When he dislocated his shoulder and had to be wheeled off the court????

Not that I'm a tough guy, but

I dislocated my knee the first time and just thought it was a major cramp. My right leg wouldn't bend past 90 degrees. I thought it was a cramp, but I just kept yelling every time I tried to straighten it. My future wife told me to quit whining because she didn't date pussies. I still give her shit about this now as she didn't know how serious it was.

I ended up driving myself to the ER the next day. I drive a stick shift so I had to push my seat all the way forward so I could work the right two pedals with just my ankle. When I got there, I ended up going to the wrong hospital where they didn't have a orthopedist on staff so nobody wanted to take the liability of helping me put it back in place. I ended up getting a shot of Demerol (awesome by the way) and had to kick it back in myself. It took about 5 minutes as it just didn't want to go and since I had slept with it the whole night it was swollen as hell.

With that Demerol, once I kicked it in, I was ready to go running and jumping and they had to force me to use the chair.


I also broke my thumb playing Men's volleyball in high school and thought it was just a stove. Had a bad play that I was trying to save with a stupendous hit and I ended up spiking it with my thumb because one of my teammates was just sitting in the way and wouldn't clear out. I ended up playing in agony with it for 6 months before seeing my doctor about something completely unrelated and said hey my thumbs been swollen for a while. Told me it was broken and luckily I didn't cause any serious tendon damage that required surgery.

I actually had a shoulder dislocation playing ball about a month ago. Me and this other dude were going up for a block and got it pinned up above the net. I pushed one way to try to force it out off of him, and he pushed the other. It popped my shoulder right out of place and it just went completely dead. I had to pop it back in place and I kept playing the last few plays.

Luckily, my regular doctor is now an orthopedist, so I went and saw him and all I needed was PT. Said I was lucky because usually at my age that means tears when that happens.

I also got super gimped about a month ago. Knee locked up again at the pool in my condo complex, and had to hop back on one leg for about two blocks or more back to my condo with my 3 year old in tow. Well of course that doubled me up because I had a sprain in my right knee once it went back, and then tendinitis in my left leg from all the hopping. I also got bit by a mosquito right on the tendinitis spot and ended up with something called cellulitis.

Even being double leg gimped, I didn't need a fucking chair. Walk out, it's a shoulder injury asshole.

Sorry about the rant, but I just had to establish how big of a pussy Wade is.
 
Well, at least Wade is actually a leader and a winner.....and I'm guessing LeBron's ego will prevent him from learning any of these things from Wade
 
I agree with the slient treatment when he's introduce. Everyone in the arena should turn their backs and bow their heads as if someone died. That will be one of the greatest scenes in sports history. Imagine an arena of over 20,000 people all silent and their backs turned in silence. That scene would go down in history and LeFraud would never ever forget that for as long as he lives.
