I'm shocked not one of you picked Dallas to come out of the West. They seem to be better than the Lakers in basically every way, and by a large enough margin the officials shouldn't come into it as a tiebreaker.

As long as Kobe gets "his shots" and plays anything like he has "this year," I have trouble seeing LA as a credible threat to any good playoff team, and Dallas, at least, seems far better than good.
