I think if all teams play to their full potential, we'd see a Lakers vs. Magic finals. I think the Magic are the best team in the East, but they lose when they take too many jumpers and don't feed it to Superman enough, because they aren't spreading the floor enough. Nuggets are playing the best of any team right now in the West, the Lakers have an (as I believe Phil Jackson put it) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing going. Their the best team in the NBA (IMO) when they play to their utmost potential. Problem is, right now they haven't been consistent enough to qualify as such. The Playoffs still have a long ways to go though, we'll just have to see what happens.
