How can they say Kobe/Gasol/Bynum is the best Big Three in Basketball? How can anyone say that? First off, Gasol was brought in to replace an injured Bynum, so Gasol has never played with Bynum, has he? No one will know how the lineup of Bynum, Gasol, Odom are going to play out?
Also, analysts are also saying how a beast like Bynum will answer the Lakers problems of defense and rebounding. Okay, he might be their big defensive player, but if they face the Celtics in the Finals again and if we had a rebounding match - it would be Bynum vs. Garnett, Perkins, Pierce and even Rondo!!! Even Ray Allen had nine rebounds in Game 4. You can't just have one person do all the rebounding against the Celtics - you'll need everybody and I mean everybody!
I'm going to post another topic later about the Laker love by analysts later.
Bottom line: I hope the Celtics are listed as underdogs again, they love being in that role and embarrassing everyone who plays against them and everyone who bet against them
