Lebron James is Human, Spurs Win Game 1

Cramps forced Lebron out of the game in the 4th quarter.

Despite previous evidence, Lebron James is not, in fact, invincible. A bizarre electrical failure at the AT&T center left the Spurs, Heat, and the San Antonio crowd without air conditioning for most of game 1, and late in the 4th quarter the heat got to Lebron. The four-time MVP had to be benched with leg cramps.

Lebron will surely be mocked for his absence, but cramps happen, and they're impossible to play with. The bigger worry for Heat fans should be how quickly the Heat collapsed without their star. Lebron exited the game with 3:59 left and his team down just two. The Spurs immediately went on a  16-3 run, winning the game 110-95.

The collapse is just another reminder that Dwyane Wade isn't what he used to be. He's no longer capable of carrying his team against a foe as talented as the Spurs. If the Heat are going to three-peat, the Finals have to become the Lebron Show, and unfortunately tonight, the show ended four minutes too early.
