Gatorade makes fun of LeBron James mercilessly on twitter

After LeBron James left last night's 110-95 Finals Game 1 loss with 4 minutes remaining (and trailing by just 2 at the time, 94-92) due to cramps, the person who runs Gatorade's twitter account decided to have some fun at James' expense:

@LazyBumDrew we were waiting on the sidelines, but he prefers to drink something else.

@CarmichaelDave This is awkward....We don't sponsor him. #fail

@dufresne33 Hydration definitely would've helped.

@ryanbkoo The person cramping wasn't our client. Our athletes can take the heat.

@CarmichaelDave Better go stock up Lime Cucumber before Game 2. Can't cramp up if you want to tweet during it.

@PrinceAmukamara You've always had good taste, Prince.

@OfficiallyRandy Thanks, Randy. We've been hydrating all day. We never cramp.

@AthIeteMotivate Especially during important games.

Now in Gatorade's defense, this whole thing did come about because fans accused them of failing LeBron in the first place, unaware that he's a Powerade guy instead.
