LeBron's presence easily felt this time

"LeBron James had nearly six months to reflect on his performance in the NBA Finals last season.The 2011-2012 campaign couldn't get here fast enough for the seven-time All-Star."I didn't talk to anybody or do anything for three weeks," he said. "I just moped around and let it all sink in until it was time to refocus.""I was glad I was able to get up out of it and get back to work."James indeed got back to work on Sunday, scorching Dallas for 37 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals.Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said leading up to the game that the Heat would lean more toward an aggressive style of play, giving James and the Heat's other stars more freedom in lieu of a structured offense.James' play was a perfect example, as the seven-time All-Star made 19 trips to the free-throw line and was constantly slashing and creating."It allows us to add another dimension of inside-out and still be able to play to some of our other strengths, which is our speed and quickness," Spoelstra said."
