The last couple of weeks for the Cavs have been a bit boring, despite the clinching of the Central division title. One thing that did work out really well for the Cavs has been the rest for Lebron James. They only had 2 games in 9 days so Lebron had another little all star break to rest his tweaked ankle.
They went 1-1 in the games, losing to a hot Milwaukee Bucks team, big ups to Brandon Jennings. That one loss could make a difference in the race for home court with the Lakers, but it was worth it to rest Lebron for 9 days. They still have a 3 1/2 game lead on the Lakers for the best record in the league and home court advantage throughout the Playoffs.
The rest was really about being healthy for the Playoffs and I think he is definitely healthy now. Lebron has looked really strong in the 4 games since his return. He carved up the 76ers with 10 assists on only 1 turnover even though his shot had a little rust (3-10 on 3 pointers, 6-12 at the line). He played really well down the stretch against Boston, scoring 30 points. Then he had a triple double against Detroit and a near triple double against the Pacers the following night. I think its fair to say he's running away with the MVP despite missing those two games.
