In Heat news tonight, Miami Heat superstar LeBron James is getting sick of being viciously fouled, making pointed comments on Friday about the way he has been knocked around in the first two games of the Heat's first round series against the Bobcats.
According to Michael Wallace of ESPN.com, "Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Friday the team wasn't satisfied with the league's decision Thursday to fine McRoberts $20,000 and upgrade what was ruled a common foul during Wednesday's game to a flagrant 2 penalty for excessive contact. McRoberts was not suspended and will be available for Game 3 on Saturday in Charlotte."
"I mean a lot to our team," says James in Wallace's article posted on Friday. "Obviously, the game is different [today]. If this was the 1980s, I'd come up swinging. But this is not the '80s. I can't do that. Me being out of the game, it hurts us more than it's going to hurt the other team. I've got to keep my composure. I get frustrated at times, but I understand how much I mean to this team."
The Miami Heat carry a 2-0 advantage into Charlotte for Saturday's pivotal Game 3. Expect the physicality to most likely continue.
