they're in the toughest division, but the cavs still have a harder schedule. lebron played for team usa and that takes its toll. the cavs don't have as much offensive threat as NO because the main focus for offense is lebron, while the others are too inconsistent to be the main scorers. but for NO, they can rely on david west to take some of the load off of cp3 for offense, and then peja can explode and score in bunches at any moment. and if mo pete gets more minutes and comes alive, they have a scary offensive team. nobody on the cavs averages over 15 ppg with the exception of lebron. and defensively, the hornets have chandler who can be relied on to defend the inside lane while the cavs don't really have a standout defender. there best defender is lebron, but he can't take up the paint like chandler, so he can really only be relied on to guard one person.
Yeap, but come on, lets get serious, Davis West is NOT Mikki Moore, he can put up CRAZY CRAZY #'s, and regardless of how he's changed, Peja is still agreat shooter. Tyson is in the top-tier of Centers in the L, don't know how anoyne can say he's not that good. Not to mention they have maybe 3rd orfourth best backup PG in the L (only behind Barbosa, Jason Terry, and Jose Calderon).
Baron is good, MVP material, not quite, much more of a balanced-team effort, he doesn't stand out as much as I think he used to.
As far as MVP's go..
1) Dwight
2) LeBron
3) Boozer
4) KG
And someone who I think people will start to talk about later in the year...
Caron Butler.
Why?
52% FG, 52% from three, 89% FT, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 23 points per, and he'll end up averaging around 25.
Dude is an absolute monster. 52% from three?!
But about Dwight, he's a beast, yeap. Although Lewis stays on the perimeter, he has two 6'9''+ dudes who start and he still grabs like 50rebounds a game. I'll be damned if he isn't a start in the East, and if he isn't all-nba first team.
