All "top" teams in the west have glaring deficiencies that will probably prevent them from dethroning the Lakes
Spurs- age and size outside of Duncan
Rockets- health and getting past one round
Hornets- CP3 can't do it alone, everyone else would have to play out of their minds
Jazz- still a VERY average road team. Booz is back to being hurt. Milsap for MIP?
Suns- want to play fast, but that takes Shaq out of the equation
Dallas-D Harris sticking it to Cuban on a nightly basis, they're going nowhere
Denver- Billups was a Laker killer in '04 when he had Sheed and Rip, now he has Melo and not much else
Port- although they will be legit for 5-7 years..Oden ISN'T what WE thought he WAS !!
The only way Boston loses the Eastern Conference throne is if one of their big three gets hurt -OR- Lebron has a magical 7 games ala '07 vs Det and ala Kobe vs SA '01 or MJ vs PHO in '93
Otherwise the crew from ESPN should get ready for another June in Beantown and Hollywood.
See you pricks on x-mas........ LAL 99 BOS 93
