I’m looking forward to the Heat returning to Staples tomorrow night, this time to play the Clippers. But LeBron James, who has proven before to be a student of Talmud, might need to brush up his religious literacy.

After the Lakers held LeBron’s former team, the tragic Cleveland Cavaliers, to 57 points tonight, LeBron tweeted this:

Crazy. Karma is a b****.. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!

Actually, I think karma is not exactly a concept embraced by the God that LeBron was referring to. I think he was thinking of Santa.
