The 2008 NBA Playoffs continue to be on fire. Just ask LeBron James’ mom! Gloria James had to take a part of the rough action on Monday when she stood up in defense of his son … and he didn’t appreciate it very much.
The Cavs showed the Celtics this battle is far from over by setting the global score on 2-2, after Boston seemed to have a clear advantage from the beginning. That’s why things are getting a little nasty on the court… and when King James got fouled by Paul Pierce, even mamma James couldn’t control herself. She started to yell at Pierce and Kevin Garnett to defend her son, and LeBron actually had to tell her to sit her butt down and shut up.
I see this as some kind of funny incident (the last thing you would expect during a Cavaliers Playoffs game is LeBron’s mommy all angry fighting the Boston beasts that are messing with her baby), but some felt really shocked by the harsh way James snapped at his mother. Still, he was right. That kind of behavior cannot be tolerated during NBA Playoffs matches! She could be banned from the rest of the games. And LeBron said his mother is something he can’t afford to miss during these last games. See? He’s probably not such a bad son after all. She just needed a reminder of what her place really is during these events. Even though she’s his mother, she’s still a fan and those NBA people don’t have much patience with angry crazy fans.
Back to the sports stuff, we saw the Celtics showing they’re weak when they play outside of their own court, and the last 88-77 result might slap them to start working for real. Tomorrow night they will have the home advantage again. Will they do something good with it?
