I really think people over use the word bounce and regress, this I agree with, but I am a firm believer that not given ample time, a horse off this effort will not reproduce that peak effort, which i think is needed to win races like this one.

I don't think it is fair to compare the two scenarios. In his "monster effort" the defense simply did not double team him and Lebron went unmolested to the basket time and time again. In Lebron's "bounce" game he was double/triple teamed from the opening tip. The defense adjusted, and he had a good ball handling game with some nice assists - just not gaudy numbers. ( they won )...their is no defense in horse racing, unless you call race dynamics defense.
