Weirdness reigned at Quicken Loans Arena Tuesday night, and we are witnesses. First to the pregame introductions for the visiting Miami Heat, where one player was conspicuously absent. LeBron James, determined to not be present to receive a cascade of boos from the Cleveland crowd, stayed in the locker room as his name was announced. Yes, LeBron can literally no longer face the music.

And that was bad karma for the Heat, who ended up losing to the Cavaliers 102-90. That outcome would have been unthinkable a month ago … or Monday, even. But there you have it.

It all started, in my opinion, with one brave parking attendant, who set the tone for this game early.
