Heat fans chant 'LeBron is tired' while James sits out blowout loss in Miami (w/ video)


This ought to cheer up Celtics fans in the wake of last night's not-quite comeback in San Antonio:

After playing 45 minutes during the Cavaliers' overtime loss in New Orleans Friday, LeBron James sat out Cleveland's game in Miami Saturday.  David Blatt said it was for the long-term good of the team to rest his star, but come on--it's December.  The season is six weeks old.

The Heat aren't known for having the best fans, but yesterday they did themselves proud (turn up the volume):


Miami torched the LeBron-less Cavs, and actually took over the top spot in the Eastern Conference.  It was Cleveland's third straight defeat.  More good news for C's fans, the Bulls and Raptors also lost last night, leaving the 11-9 Celtics only two games back of the No. 1 seed and half a game out of first place in the Atlantic Division (although the schedule isn't getting any easier).
