Hey, Cavalier fans! It's AC - what's happening?

Well, we're back in town for another four-game homestand after winning No. 9 in New Jersey on Sunday. It's great to have the home games back-loaded into this year's schedule, because it gives the Cavs a chance to regroup. With all the road games, it's hard to regroup. Playing on our own floor gives us a chance to regroup and get mentally prepared for the war we're about to head into.

Right now, Coach Brown is starting to work on his rotations. The big question I've been asked is whether Ben returns to the starting lineup or whether Andy should stay. And I'm pretty sure it's going to go back to the way it was in the beginning - with Ben starting and Andy coming off the bench.

That makes us deeper - and in the Playoffs you need depth. So I think it'll go back to normal. I mean, we were 25-5 with Ben in the starting lineup, so why not go back to it? That just makes us a deeper team heading into the Playoffs.

How deep Mike will go into his rotation is still a question. It all depends, but as long as you're productive you're going to play. Granted, Mike Brown's going to go with a seven- or eight-man rotation and if a ninth or tenth man is playing well, they're going to get time. If you're resting guys in the Playoffs, that's a good thing - it means you're winning all those games!

Mike Brown won't let his team get complacent in these final 12 games. But really, it should be easy to stay focused now, because you actually haven't accomplished anything. You haven't done it yet.

I realize Boston and Orlando are saying that the Cavaliers have the East already wrapped up. All they're trying to do is use the psychological part of the game to see if we'll fall for it. I call it the "okie-doke." They're trying to lull us into a false confidence.

I mean, you saw what the Celtics did to us up in Boston. They played like it was Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. We went in there a little lackadaisical and not really understanding what the game meant to them - and they jumped on us. I think we have to realize that, at this point, Orlando and Boston will pull out all the stops to see if we'll stumble trying to cross the finish line.

Right now, the Cavaliers just need to take one game at a time and get ready for the Playoffs. That's all we're doing right now: trying to get better every game and fine-tuning the defense, the offense and the rotation. (Even though we really won't be able to fine-tune the rotation until the final week or two of the season, with Ben and Wally still out.) As it is, Mike Brown, I'm sure has an idea with what he's looking to do.

As it stands now, it's looking like when the postseason does roll around, it'll be the Bulls in the First Round. It'll be a good matchup.

Chicago doesn't have the interior, but they have a great perimeter game. And that's where we'd have to be careful with them. Because if we let them go crazy out there on the perimeter - we're going to have trouble. If we can cut them down from the outside, we can beat them on the inside, like we did with New Jersey. We would need to just methodically grind them up and get them out of the way.

Because we faced the Bulls so early in the season - before they made their big trade - they're a different team.  But basically it's going to be the pick-and-rolls from the wings and the guards shooting three-pointers. They haven't changed that part of it. They don't dump the ball down into the post on a consistent basis; it's pick-and-roll from the sides and trying to get out on the fast break. They don't really do anything different; they just have different personnel.

The Cavaliers will have the same personnel they've already faced, and by the time we reach the postseason - against whoever we'll play - LeBron James will have won the Most Valuable Player award.

How could you say he's not MVP? All these other guys - their good games are "40, 3 and 4" or "40, 5 and 6." LeBron's games are "40, 10 and 9." To me, it's LeBron, hands down. And defensively, he's there every night. With Ben out, LeBron's been the "defensive catch-all" - he handles everything and everybody.

And when you add his defense to what he does offensively, I don't see any way LeBron James can't be the MVP.
