Never bought that argument. That Lakers non-team was good enough to make it all the way to the NBA finals, beating a championship Spurs team and the Timberwolves who had the best record in the league that year. The way some people describe the in-team hate that Lakers squad had for each other, you'd think they would have lost in the first round.

At any rate, that wasn't my point. My point was to say what is "likely" or "expected" in the playoffs doesn't always happen. Just because many expect Lakers-Cavs in the finals, it doesn't mean it will actually happen. That's the point.
