The Hornets roster is not THAT much better than the Cavs weak supporting cast.
You're kidding me right....

Besides Lebron, there's not one Cavs starter that averages more than 14 points. The Hornets have three starters (CP3, D.West and Peja) that average 19+ pts. That's a big difference....

Besides, Hornets have a better bench with Bonzi, Pargo, Mike James, Julian Wright, and Hilton Armstrong.

CP3 has a MUCH better supporting cast. He's still the MVP if it wasn't for Kobe and Lebron.
