Remember the days when we wondered whether he would average a triple-double for a season? Long gone. Honestly, I liked watching him more as a rookie. This is right up there with Lindsay Lohan losing her boobs in my book -- it's a borderline national tragedy. I can't talk about this anymore, I'm getting up.

No, you are not.
And I don't know. I watch a fair amount of Cavaliers games, and I haven't noticed an appreciable difference in his game, other than he has really improved his outside shot, and his defense is getting better. I haven't followed the numbers, and this may sound a bit counter-intuitive, but he might be putting up more shots because the team
around him is better, and he's getting more looks/fewer guys collapsing in on him as a result. Like I said, I'm haven't followed his numbers, but I bet his shooting percentage is probably up significantly from the last couple of years.
