re: Why would Lebron suddenly be gassed?

Yeh, the media has always been about only propping up LeBron and not hammering him for idiotic things

The media is the one pushing the fatigue issue. Stars receive the benefit of the doubt which is the same reason why the announcers like to speculate that Steph is still injured whenever he does poorly. To Lebron’s credit, he shut down the rumor that he was under the weather and dispelled the notion of fatigue playing a role in his performance. It’s pretty obvious that Lebron looks lethargic at times, but he’s not the one making this an issue or complaining.
