LeBron maybe couldn't have played through it, but he needs to do something different if cramping is such a problem. Cramps are pretty preventable if you're diligent about it.



This is pretty debatable as to whether that's actually true.

However, in preparing for the game, why would Miami think San Antonio couldn't keep their air conditioning functioning?

I guess all the other elite athletes on the floor, you know the ones that Lebron is supposed to be superior to, are immune to the conditions? When you have 38 year old duncan, one ankle parker and dough boy diaw all playing similar minutes with no problems the excuse loses credibility.



Why do sprinters pull more muscles than distance runners? Why do WRs and DBs suffer more muscle pulls than offensive centers?

Why can offensive linemen play 100% of the snaps, while defensive linemen rotate out to take breathers?


How did Chandler Parsons end up running 30 more miles than James Harden over the season?

In fairness to Lebron, he did ask to go back in the game and Spo said no.

That high temperature was hard on everyone. Happy that the Spurs survived and Won the first game.

One of SA's reporters mentioned that he has seen the Spurs (Duncan and Green, specifically) out doing conditioning work in 100+ degrees + direct sunlight. That was a long time ago that he initially mentioned it, but I bet they have kept it up.

John Lucas used to make the Spurs do that at Trinity University.

Its been months since it was remotely close to 100 degrees in SA.

When he went off the court, I saw a lot of ice bags and cold towels. Didn't see a lot of drinking and hydrating. Also didn't see a lot of stretching, just rubbing his legs.

I thought that was odd.

I agree, Dan. I get calf cramps and I am stretching that out as much as possible until the cramp is over. We just saw him with his head down.

Please explain how more muscle mass leads to worse cramps?


The way it was explained on the radio this morning is that muscles require electrolytes for blood flow and nerve impulses. The more muscle a person has, the more salt their muscles need. If two people get a cramp, the person with more muscle, even if they are the better athlete will have a harder time getting over the cramp as they need more recovery time. I'm paraphrasing here as I heard this a few hours ago and don't remember all the details, so I may be a bit off on the explanation.

I thought salt was the enemy to cramps. You needed more potassium.

Sodium is an electrolyte

I'm sure that was off-season conditioning for Duncan and Green

I really did think it was weird how Lebron just sat there with ice on his legs. In college football players cramp up all the time and you see the training staff stretch them out and have them walk it off before going back into the game. I remember the OU game in 2010 Von Miller was cramping something fierce and kept coming out and stretching and going back in. I've never heard of ice on a muscle to treat cramps.

Maybe it is not really cramps.

The initial report was from summer 2011. I was just mentioning that the Spurs have trained themselves to handle even worse. I did register a 96 in the last couple weeks though.

Thats what I'm starting to wonder guitar. Maybe he got in an accident or something. Fell off his motorcycle.

Wonder why DWade didn't use the Enduracool towel that he endorses?

Hmm. Maybe there is something to what Skip said about Lebron not having the mental constitution of a Jordan type player. In theory you could use the ice to dull pain from cramps, but only stretching and walking around on it will alleviate the cramp in that moment. So, either the Heat trainers are absolutely retarded or bronbron was so pissy he didn't want to stretch it out and just came out of the game. Or it wasn't cramps after all. The whole thing just seems so stupid.

unairconditioned Boston Garden.


Don't know how hot it was last night but I think most would rather play in an un-air conditioned arena in Boston in June rather than San Antonio.

I don't think the heat was a huge factor. The fans were probably more uncomfortable than the players, at least the ones on the floor the most. Once you get going in hot arenas, it isn't as bad as you think it might be.
