CLEVELAND — For LeBron James, his homecoming season with the Cavaliers went up, down and sometimes sideways, like three seasons rolled into one.
The fourth is about to begin. The only one that matters.
James has his sights set on another NBA title, and if he can capture it over the next two months, he'll not only crown his brilliant career but end Cleveland's title drought dating to 1964.
The pursuit begins Sunday when the Cavs open the Eastern Conference playoffs at home against Boston, a familiar opponent — and a fitting one — for James, who has played the Celtics 25 times in the postseason.
