Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

Thursday (LeBron James and karma) edition: Wha' Happened?

Part I: James dumps the Cavaliers for the Heat this offseason, and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert responds with a letter to fans ripping LeBron.
Part II: The Cavs, who have struggled this season without LeBron (no kidding!), get royally blown out by the Lakers on Tuesday night. LeBron takes to Twitter with this message: Crazy. Karma is a [redacted]. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!
Part III: Sensing that he has caused a stir, LeBron attempts an odd backpedal before Wednesday's game vs. the Clippers, saying this: "It was just how I was feeling at the time. It wasn't even a comment from me. It was someone who sent it to me and I sent it out." That's a rare rationalization mixed with passing the buck. If he could have mixed in one more element like blaming the media, it would have been a triple-double.
Part IV: LeBron hurt his ankle in the game against the Clippers, and the Heat lost.
We eagerly await a tweet from Gilbert or someone else with the Cavs about karma and LeBron's injury so we can start this whole process over again.
