The Lakers could NEVER beat the Nuggets in a pickup game. For once in their lives they wouldn't get every call.
Really? You are going to marginalize Shaq to the point of calling him a 38 year old center? He averaged 17 and 8 last year and gives them the interior presence that can bang with Howard. They matched up against everyone last year except the Magic.
San Antonio may not match up great with the Lakers but that is one of 30 teams. It still doesn't mean they can't have a better season.
The one and ONLY way the Lakers are a top five team next year is if Bynum steps up. Without Bynum becoming a stud next year there is no way they are a championship team and they are likely not even a top five team.

Shaq's stats last year were somewhat of a mirage. He is done.
San Antonio is going to have serious problems in the paint and on the boards against most of the top teams. I am surprised that you think they will be a contender.
Denver lost to the lakers during the season and in the playoffs and they arent any better and dont have money to get better.
