Is LeBron Already Gone?

Last night was a debacle. The #1 seed in the playoffs cannot lose a game 5 of a tied series by 32 points and feel comfortable moving on. This was LeBron's 2nd worst shooting performance of his NBA career. He only went 3-14 from the field and 0-4 from 3 point range. Skip Bayless is going to have a FIELD DAY with this crap. More after the break.

If LeBron is going to be dubbed King he is going to have to win something important, this has been said for a while now. I disagreed with that point until now. He always performed well and just didn't have a good team around him, but last night it was HIS fault they lost. Shaq played with heart, like he always does in the playoffs, but LeBron was absent. For much of the game he didn't have that competitive Michael Jordan look in his eyes, he just seemed blank. The worst part of it is that LeBron made up some cocky and BS remark after the game as an excuse for playing poorly. He said that

“I spoil a lot of people with my play. When you have three bad games in seven years, it’s easy to point them out.”

Okay Mr. Perfect. I'm sorry we are so spoiled rotten that when the best player in the NBA phones in a game and loses it for his team we have a problem with it.

Now one of two things will happen. Either he will show up and play like the leader and star that he is and come out in game's 6 and 7 with a fire and dominate to win like they did in game 3, or he will fizzle out again into the sunset and lose it for the Cavs. If that happens, he's already gone to New York or LA or Chicago.
