SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- As LeBron James was finishing his postgame icedown Friday night, there was yelling and general commotion heard in the showers deep inside Arco Arena.
His Cavaliers teammates playfully ran in and out of them laughing and pointing while James shook his head.
"I'm like the father of this team," James said. "And daddy wants to know what's wrong with his kids right now."
Indeed he does, and not just with the water play following the Cavs' clinching of the Central Division title with a 126-123 overtime victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Sure, the Cavs are piling up the wins -- they have won 13 of their past 15 games to run their record to an astounding 52-13 with a small cushion for the best record in the Eastern Conference. Looking at the schedule, after playing 14 games in 24 days in 11 cities, the Cavs look to be heading for boom times as eight of the next nine are at home.
That isn't what James and Cavs coach Mike Brown see. Rather, they see a bubble, and they are worried about it popping.
"It's a small concern right now," said James, who averaged 39 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists on the three-game West Coast trip, but also played 44.7 minutes per game as the Cavs made up double-digit deficits to win in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Sacramento.
