"Agreed with you to a point, but look at their roster. Shaq (NBA's best player), Malone (with a supporting cast who can get him the ball, he is in the Top 5), Gary Payton...HAS NOT LOST A STEP, he is the same as 5 years ago. Then add in Kobe (he will play), Fox, etc., and you have the "1927" Yankees.....only 10 times better.This season, with Malone, Shaq and Payton ALONE, make it a mismatch. You are looking at a 75 win season!

Umm let see.
Shaq, not the NBA's best. Could be the dumbest and not much of a game breaker any more.
Malone, old, not even close to what he once was.
Payton, only has lost 2 steps and is still a cry baby
Kobe has done well in his final seanson as a free man
This team won't come to mind when I think of dominate baseketball teams. Not even top 20. If you want to claim dominace you at lest have to win the your division.........and can't be the 3rd best team in your Conference.
