Plenty of rumours circulating (including as mentioned in other threads). But whether it is true or not is yet to be seen. It would however explain a hell of a lot given what happened in the series against the C's.

This is what I wrote on another thread regarding the issue:
Have read various internet news stories regarding a possible relationship between Gloria James and Delonte West
Im starting to believe that the affair did occur and that that was the reason for Lebron's poor performance. Supposedly Lebron found out just prior to Game 5.
In game 1:
-Lebron scores 35 points (12/24 fg, 3/6 3pfg, 8-11 ft) to go along with 7 assists and 7 rebounds, and just 2 turnovers
- West plays 27 minutes..8 points (4/6 fg)
In game 5:
-Lebron scores 15 points (3/14 fg, 0/4 3pfg) 3 turnovers
-West plays 9 mins..2 points (1/3 fg)
That is a pretty big difference between 2 games (Game 1= before Lebron knew about the affair; Game 2=after he knews about the affair).
I know players have bad games and all, but its so unlike Lebron to fold like he did
And someone tell me why Delonte's playing time was reduced from 27 minutes to just 9 minutes..Perhaps Lebron told coach not to play West or coach heard of the incident and refused to give him more minutes
Boy theres more questions than answers at this point.

As stupid as it sounds, I'm buying it haha, there was SOMETHING wrong with him - and I'm not just talking his play. He's usually animated and vocal, loud, has that bounce in his step...talks it up with team mates, celebrates like a moron, he had the same blank expression on his face all game...I KNEW something was up.

Isn't it funny that someone as stupid as Delonte West will be the downfall (once again) of the cavs.

Where has this rumour started? I can see why it would spread like wild fire which is why I'm a bit sceptical. It's like someone made it up and reported it somewhere as a joke, then someone else picked up the story and cited the original source, then becuase it's so juicy and mildly plausible all sorts of forums and blogs start frothing at the mouth and the conspiracy theorists conclude that the only conceivable reason Lebron had a bad game was because his mum was sleeping with a team mate. It's all pretty far fetched to me.
I'm not saying it didn't happen. I've got no clue about any of the background, I just think that if it had legs we'd have seen it in some mainstream media (even a TMZ style psuedo mainsteam) but if there's nothing to back it up the media outlets probably don't want to test the waters of a defamation suit with one of the deepest pockets in professional sport.

It's a shame when propaganda grows its own identity & the truth becomes irrelevant. I'm not buying any of this crap!

Orbit, Orbit, Orbit...you may not be buying this crap and that's fine, yet you except others to accept yours?
