CLEVELAND - Thousands of people in northeast Ohio will join millions more across the country when Game 4 of the NBA Finals tips off Tuesday night.
While many people in Cleveland love to hate LeBron James over his "decision" to join the Miami Heat, most ESPN analysts named the Akron native the most valuable player in the series so far. In contrast, those same analysts named James Harden of the Thunder the most disappointing player of the series thus far.
Not so fast said Harden on Twitter.
The Thunder's Twitter page (@okcthunder) quotes Harden: "We're winners. We're gonna do whatever it takes."
James has not used his public Twitter handle (@KingJames) since April.
The Associated Press reported James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh walked off the floor together after Game 3 and were already working on their plans for Game 4 on the way to the locker room.
The series resumes in Miami on Tuesday night, with the Heat holding a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven title matchup.
Early Tuesday afternoon, "Game 4" was trending on Twitter in Cleveland. Below are some of the other tweets referencing Game 4.
@espn: Game 4 is tonight. If you have other plans, cancel them immediately. @justineferrer: Alarm is set for Game 4 of NBA finals. Fearless forecast - OKC by 4pts!!
