A few more notes...
I still can't believe how terrible the Lakers played against Dallas, but hopefully that was just one of the "bad" games for the Lakers and they start to pick up their play. Anytime you've won the championship, the other teams are going to try to give you their best game every night. On another note, it is not certain when Pau Gasol will return. That is a little worrisome to me since its not certain of his return. Hopefully he heals up soon and give the Lakers the great boost they need, just like when he joined the Lakers. Okay, I'm done talking about the Lakers for now. Boston is looking good as always, and I'm already declaring them favorites for the championship this year (barring injury). They are hungry and didn't like the way they went out last year. Even though its early, Phoenix looks good to me so far. They have their running game back and the coach change of last year was great for them. Shaq is not there for them to slow it down, and I think they play their best at this faster pace, especially Nash. Nash had 20 assists in last night's game. Not much else of note.

Overall the Lakers looks like the class of the West. The Mavs, Spurs, Hornets, Clippers, etc. are good, but no match for the Lakers. Barring a random injury I don't see another team challenging them.
The East on the other hand...I'm still feeling the Magic, but am rooting for the Cavs.
The Spurs always seem to pop up after 2-3 years of non-serious championship contention, so I have them on radar. I agree with your Lakers assessment, but I can see them messing things up. Magic look really deep, and a healthy Jameer Nelson make them solid. I'm not sure if Vince will give them what they need as much as Hedo, but he has all the ability.
