It’s getting hard to tell if the Cleveland fans are booing LeBron James or their own team.

Miami leads the Cavaliers, 95-65, at the end of the third quarter in front of an increasingly subdued crowd at Quicken Loans Arena.

James continues to play as if he’s unfazed by all the negative attention -- he has a game-high 38 points so far, 24 of which came in the third quarter.

Still, it’s unfortunate Cleveland hasn’t been able to put up more of a fight. The fans probably would have a little more anti-LeBron pep left in them if their team hadn’t given up that 16-0 run in the first half.

But if the fans have anything left to express, they better do it soon because LeBron could be on the bench for most of the fourth quarter.
