Summary

LeBron James bounced back with a huge game Sunday in Philadelphia. Does that mean he's back? What exactly does "back" mean for LeBron this year? Will it look different than last year? Than years before? It seems the Lakers are going to handle him with a little more care than the last two seasons, and with postseason awards likely out of reach (he won't hit the minimum game threshold) does that give the Lakers even more flexibility? Plus... the Lakers are 8-0 in what the NBA defines as "clutch" games. Why exactly have they been so successful? The answer might surprise, given their broader profile. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: LeBron Is back, right? Right? SEGMENT 2: What exactly does "back" mean, anyway? SEGMENT 3: Why have the Lakers been so clutch?
