Well, dominating or not, the Lakers are going to be the focus of much of the NBA discussion this year. And that is one of the two main reasons this year is going to suck.
Between "Ohmigawd Lebron scored 30 points, he is the greatest", "Haha Lebron scored 5 points, told you he sucks", and every Laker game being flooded with "this team has issues" and "it will be interesting to see how his teammates and the fans react." I just summed up right there, about 80% of all NBA discussion this year.
