Without Bynum... And Gasols lack of defense in the post.

I'd give it to the Spurs personally.

Lakers really need Bynums defense and rebounding in the post if nothing else. I'm not taking anything away from Gasol offensively. The guy can score and does it well. But so can Timmy D and so Can Thomas. Lakers need someone that will challenge every shot in the paint, and use his length to deter guys like Parker from driving for an easy bucket all the time.

To me personally:
No Bynum = No getting past the Spurs.
