Let's all pump the brakes. He played terrible in a game everyone wanted him to win. But let me put this in perspective for you all.
LeBron and the Cavs lost their opener in 2008-09 to Boston and still won 66 games.
LeBron and the Heat lost their opener in 2010, then in their 2nd game against Philly, LeBron had 16 points and 9 turnovers. That team won 58 games and made the Finals.
I know his performance ruined the moment and let everyone down, but let's not forget this is a process. This is a great wake-up call for this team. Nerves got the better of them tonight. 81 more games to go.
Oh and by the way, Philly started their season 3-0 last year. How'd that turn out?
