bleh enough with the analogies. I'm going out on a limb here when i say that neither the Kings nor the Timberwolves will be as much of a problem as San Antonio was...
T-Wolves didn't do too bad last year against the Lakers. Sure the Lakers added Payton and Malone, but T-Wolves revamped with Spreewell and Cassel. Odds are definitely in the Lakers favor, but I wouldn't count out the other teams. Heck, Kings should have beat LA 2 years ago and their team is practically the same but with the addition of Brad Miller.
I already broke down why both the Kings and the Timberwolves won't win the championship in a previous thread. Basically it comes down to no one on either team being able to stop shaq worth a damn. And other than Doug Christie, no one will stop Kobe. Karl plays awesome defense against marquee power forwards. Though KG will undoubtably out perform Karl...i think Webber will get worked.
