The Miami Heat 13-game winning streak on the road was snapped after the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Heat 111-105 
on Wednesday night. To make matters worse, in the fourth quarter LeBron James came up limping after spraining his ankle.
Afterward, the player told the media he is unsure if he will start or play tonight when the team visits the Denver Nuggets.
Also on Wednesday, James was again the hot topic on coast-to-coast sports-talk radio after he posted a Tweet on Twitter after his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers suffered a beatdown by the Los Angeles Lakers.
LeBron’s Tweet:
“Crazy. Karma is a bitch. Gets you every time. It’s not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!”
The Tweet can only be characterized as a dig to Cavs owner, Dan Gilbert. LeBron may still be feeling the sting of Gilbert’s letter after he took his talents to South Beach. The problem is that James’ words now seem to have brought the swinging door of karma back at his feet, literally with the wrenching of his ankle. The Clippers, while still holding a losing record, are improving with the addition of Blake Griffin and guard Eric Gordon.
They have played well against some of the top teams in the NBA with some of their wins coming against the Spurs, Mavericks, Thunder and now the Heat.
The unfortunate part of LeBron’s gloating Tweet isn’t that he posted it but rather he doesn’t realize he stoops to the level of the vitriolic Gilbert when he continues to point his finger in that direction.
Winning can cure everything for LeBron but only after the Heat make the Finals or win a title. Even karma understands that.
