We keep hearing it everywhere. In the playoffs, LeBron James is an entirely different animal.
This is the response several analysts have given when posed the question as to whether or not they still believe that the Cleveland Cavaliers are the favorites in the Eastern Conference. And they're right -- James does seem to reach another gear (both mentally and physically) come playoff time. It's visible to almost anyone.
Although it was only game number 78 of the regular season, last night against the Boston Celtics, LeBron appeared to be in playoff mode.
