INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- For as decorated a career that LeBron James has enjoyed, there is one realm of the NBA where James has been at this absolute best: the first round of the playoffs. James' teams are 48-7 in the first round all time, having won 21 games in a row coming into Sunday's series opener against the Indiana Pacers (3:30 ET, ABC). James has never lost a first round series (12-0) and never lost Game 1 of a first round series.
Does James feel any added responsibility at the start of the playoffs this spring, with a roster that includes several rotation players -- Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr.
