Very good list. Thanks for posting this jazzfan.

Personally, I think that this list is pretty much true, and I also mostly agree with jazzfan's evaluations. Looking at this list, it looks like we're not really a championship contender this year. Also though, I think that within two or so years, we will have everything on this list, and have it to an extreme.

Meh, I don't agree with this so much. Maybe in a point system (like international soccer) instead of a playoff/tournament system, but to me a championship camn also come to a little luck and matchups. There is no way in hell that Miami was the best team in the NBA when they won that title. The Spurs would of CREAMED the Heat, as would of many of the other Western conference teams.

Considering Kenny was his teams starting point guard, I guess that blows his #2 criteria out of the water.
