SI had a very good article on this same topic a couple weeks ago: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/don_banks/06/01/decade/index.html Goes in to every team and looks at both regular season and playoff success. The debate could become very heated if the right team(s) succeed in '09.

Why the heck is everyone looking at all decade everythings when there is still one more season to be played in this decade?
