this just adds to the narrative that he is mentally weak... a real alpa wouldn't let anything stop him from playing this game...first game back in miami...a place you won 2 titles and multiple mvp's... wouldn't you be pumped for your first game back in miami ?
missing this game is a big FU to the miami fans who payed money to see their former mvp play...
also strange that they go out of their way to mention this was blatt's decision. well who else's decision would it be?
After seeing how he treats blatt on each and every timeout...seeing him bark and order vets around like they are rookies, making sure all cameras are on him first, so he can stage himself as the big leader...after going on the bench in the middle of a play like a spoilt brat when he didnt get the ball instantly...who outside Cleveland seriously believes it was Blatts call to sit out that game? I tell you what happened - he knew the heat would wipe the floor with the cavs and he couldnt deal with it like a man. Look at Kobe how he goes out head up knowing his team will be embarrassed night in night out, thats how pro's earn their money. Little b***es "take the night off" on tough games to come back and take it out on some weak team they are sure to beat. Aint no alpha by any means.
