Watch the real contenders and see a far more entertaining product. Totally agree Lakers are hard to watch, you know what is going to happen every possesion in the 4th quarter. The rest of the team is lousy, Odom has blown a few games for them by himself.
Pistons, Spurs, Suns, and Mavericks all know how to play team basketball. Nash could go out and shoot it every possesion like Kobe, but he never wants to do that. Billups could be a ball hog, but never has been. Nowitzki takes the big shots down the stretch, but he has plenty of others who contribute. Duncan gladly gives up the ball when he gets doubled, rarely forcing a shot. These teams all know being a team will make them winners, not watching one teammate do it all himself.
