They might be but its a long season. Lakers have won many games against subpar teams right down to the wire. Thunder had them twice and lost both in last minute. Pels lost a nailbiter to them last night. They are good no question but I think the long season will hurt them more than other contenders. Davis never plays full seasons and LBJ is getting long in the tooth. The wear and tear will catch up its late Nov and they will have to play into May or so.
I think most teams and people, are hoping for that scenario. I don't see any slippage in the foreseeable future, unless a key player goes down with injury. LeBron has been on a mission it seems so far, playing like he's 10 years younger. It's still early, and every team goes through adversity at some point during the year, but I think they will finish in the top 3 or 4 teams in the conference.
