Re: Don't tell anyone: LeBron's tired <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%">Brown, Cavaliers need to look into ways to get James recharged -- and for this never to happen again</span>He simply won't concede it publicly because it is considered an excuse or a challenge to his manhood, but LeBron James is tired.He has told those close to him that his energy level is down, that he's getting fatigued quicker during the past several weeks. He didn't really need to say so; it is obvious to all the fans he has won over with his dominating play.James doesn't have the same spring in his legs or strength, especially late in games. The stats -- 27 points, seven rebounds and seven assists -- are still great. That's a testament to his talent and overall skill, sort of like when Tiger Woods finishes fifth in a tournament in which he's fighting his swing.This was supposed to be the season that James laid claim to the Most Valuable Player Award. Right now, he's playing like an All-Star, to be sure, but not playing at the MVP level that he showed in the second half of last season.Cavaliers officials know it, and they've been worried about it since he reported to training camp. Coach Mike Brown reduced his preseason workload, trying to stave off what is happening now. But it was too late: the postseason run plus the extended training camp for Team USA plus the exhibition games in China plus the two-week long World Championships in Japan had taken their toll.Read Rest HereThis is the main reason, IMO, he is not the guy last season. Cavs need to find ways to get him more rest in order for us to go some where.
Re: Don't tell anyone: LeBron's tired If he is tired why doesn't he work on his conditioning? Hes a pro, pros dont all of a sudden get "tired" this is a job, and you cant take 1 or 2 days off because your "tired". Nobody says that, Granted he didnt say he was, but nethier should his team. What ticks me off is that they complain about something like this. Why? Real players would work on their condition to get less tiring.

You guys can keep him and we can use Brown later on..lolBut, what I have seen from Brown is that he has been a bust and he has been talking so much about he will fight for playing time and all of this and that. I really wanted the Cavaliers to draft Dee Brown but we ended up taking Brown.I guess he is just scared? Dunno, he needs to get in there tho and start playing.I blame MIKE BROWN!!!
Re: Don't tell anyone: LeBron's tired Maybe it is the end of James's career...ahh one can only hope so...Well, Cavaliers could make some deals and get a decent backup Forward, or even play Marshall at that position. If Bron gets some games off maybe his energy will come back, who knows, it is a long season. Never good to have your superstar tired this early.

The last games we have had James has done his job by getting 30 or 28.Hughes needs to step up and so does someone else in order for this team to amount to anything.

And James added 8 points only. Cavaliers D won the game tho. At the end we held the Bucks to like 12 points in the 4th.
Re: Don't tell anyone: LeBron's tired It's not that LeBron is getting out of shaped or anything. He isn't intended to carry the team as much as he was last season. That's the reason why Mike Brown added a new offensive scheme to get everyone utilized. The fact is LeBron is basically fatigued because of the strong playoff performances last year against Detroit and the FIBA during the summer. His time to rest and relax never came to him. No one has been working as hard as he is.. I definitely don't blame him for being tired.

Manly because it's a close game.I think if the bench can step up or the Cavaliers make a deal to get Corey Maggette or something like that, he would get lots more rest.
