Not sure I anyone heard the post game Q&A that James had by his locker. I had to laugh when one reporter asked him a question that went something like, was that outburst due to years of frustration of not getting calls? Not sure if the reporter was being serious or taking a jab at James, after all he could have been a Miami reporter that is still scorned by James' departure.

Did anyone watch the game? He definitely deserved a tech for his reaction there but there must have been something earlier to justify the double tech right? I imagine Lebron had been moaning all game and the ref had enough.

You might be right that there might have been tension between the two from earlier in the game. I just want to say, that if you go strictly by the book, that is not necessary to justify an ejection. Complaining about getting a tech in the first place is enough (iirc this was how Westbrook was ejected a year ago).

I think after he got the Tech, he said one of the magic words to the ref and got the second one.  Generally they let you cuss, but when you specifically cuss to them that is when the ejection comes.

Lebron has been increasingly unhinged. Everyone gets a little cranky as they get older. I guess pro athletes are no exception.

I've seen a lot worse from players with not even a tech, never mind an ejection.

If this had happened to a Celtics player this board would be in an uproar over how unfair the ref was.

The way Lebrun goes after refs, surprised he didn’t get ejected sooner.

Knowing that the teacher has spanked you once ......oh no.....maybe they ll do,it again ?

NBA ......does not LoVE me anymore .....How could they .......Im their golden CASH COW.

Ill get my revenge when i own a team ..... ;D

Unless it's during a playoff game what does it really matter? LeBron cries about not getting calls but you can't touch the guy once the playoffs roll around. He bull rushes his way to the rim, what are defenders supposed to do when he lowers that shoulder?

Doesn't he also have some amazing record of non fouling out of games?

I think he's fouled out of 8 games ever, and he had a massive stretch during his Miami / return to Cleveland where he didn't foul out for years or something.
