Not really, if they don't win it, the blame will simply be on the coach, because he hasn't done that part of his job (insuring sinner errrrr synergy) the right way. Anayways, if they are successfull, they probably leave their egos behind. But if they for some reason get into a losing streak they're finished, then not even Jackson will be abel to do anything.

Malone may be at the end of his career (although IMHO he doesn't look that way), but Payton surely has a couple more years to go.

The thing that interests me most is how the 5th guy (whoever that is) will feel. I know I would have the feeling of being there just because the rules say a team needs 5 players...
