08:17 AM ET 12.02 | There are a number of creative ideas for Cavs fans, some less appropriate than others, but one idea from El Paso takes things in a different direction. Last week, David Acosta, who is actually a Celtics fan from El Paso, started a Laugh at Lebron campaign on Twitter that is asking fans at the Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday to mock James instead of boo him. Acosta, who has nearly 1,000 followers on Twitter, figures that James, like most professional athletes, has learned how to play in hostile arenas and tune out boos. The last thing he would anticipate hearing is laughter. So if fans want to get a rise out of him, why not do the opposite of what he expects?

You can't ask fans to turn anger and disgust into laughter. It doesn't work that way. Lebron insulted the city of Cleveland and the whole state the worse way. He did it his way, he did that in front of the whole world. If the decision was meant to be funny nobody's laughing. As Gilbert said... aint no gestapos here. F Lebron and his descendants. Anyone and anything affiliated with Lebron will not prosper... may justice prevail upon him.

Actually I'm going to be laughing at the whole Heat organization for the colossal failure of signing Bron Bron.
