Frickin' awesome thread. Jason Lloyd was my favorite Cavs writer but now he's number two. I remember reading Chris on music a while ago and he's even better on the Cavs.
Chris, when you return -- what do you think about these ongoing questions about whether Lebron is encountering new physical limitations? I have followed him closely throughout his career and I see him having more fatigue problems this year then I can ever remember. He is obviously still superb in bursts picking his spots, but he seems to wear down more quickly and sometimes his legs seem to tire out on jumpers. I see his own uncertainty about the gas he has in the tank contributing to his bouts of offensive indecisiveness out there (dribbling inconclusively for 15 seconds trying to figure out whether to take his man and then just heaving up a jumper). Do you think there's anything to this? Do you think he will have to retool his game in coming years, and do you think there's been an extra level of frustration for him trying to deal with these issues this year?
