Season of Chaos Has LeBron Stuck Doing What He Didn't Want to in Cavs Return

Aside from barely escaping their home floor with the series tied 1-1, not much has gone right for LeBron James and the Cavaliers as they venture to Indiana on Friday for Game 3 of their first round series.

They scored one point less than Kobe Bryant's career high in Game 1, shooting a queasy 39 percent from the field (including 8-for-34 from three-point range). Coach Ty Lue shuffled the starting lineup for Game 2, inserting Kyle Korver and J.R. Smith in the hopes that familiarity would lead to productivity. And it did, but only for one guy.
