Nah, I'd prefer the '10 team. You have to remember that they won 57 games with Gasol/Kobe missing a combined 26 games as opposed to the 1 game that Gasol missed in '09. Also, they had a tougher P/O run but here's my personal opinion:


'10 Thunder > '09 Jazz
'09 Rockets > '10 Jazz
'10 Suns >> '09 Nuggets
'10 Celtics >>>> '09 Magic


Fwiw, their '09 opponents won 7 more regular season games than their '10 opponents but that was more due to Boston "playing possum" and only winning 50 games, which I might have been the only person aside of Celtics fans that thought so at the time. People were actually claiming that the Cavs were going to beat them in the P/O (EL OH EL), especially after Wade's 33/6/7 on 56%FG/40%3PT proved to not faze them. They were greater and deeper than the '09 Magic who got pushed to 7 games by a KG-less Celtics squad.


Just the '10 Lakers facing the Celtics alone made the run much more impressive, albeit those 21 4th Q FT's along with the questionable calls in G7 were crucial, IMHO. I'm not even going to use Perkins' injury because they're a part of the game. Though I hate but respect that particular Lakers team, I'd love to use them again in a basketball game.
