Despite the un-classiness of my (fictional) fans in today’s comic- the real Cav’s fans really brought it (mostly) clean and hard for LBJ’s return. When I read about the ban- I thought it would tamper down the intensity- but I guess I had thought the rules were to be more draconian then they turned out. There were plenty of fans with humorous signs, “quitness” and “Lyin’ King” t-shirts that got a chuckle out of me. The boo-birds were out in Hitchcock-ian proportions.

Of course LBJ really brought it himself with a stat line of 38 points (on 60% shooting, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, +26 +/- in just 30 minutes). Maybe we all forgot how comfortable he would be on that court- despite the crowd.
The one group that failed to bring it was the Cavs themselves. You’d think the crowd’s intensity would have infected the players a bit- but it seemed like they pretty much sat-down. Hard to root for a team that does that. One can forgive a lack of talent, but a lack of heart? They left their crowd out to dry. The scrappy Cavs that took out Boston in game one and were briefly playing .500 basketball the first ten games of the season might have run out of steam already.
