I think all in all there are more matchup problems for the Cavs in a Cavs-Lakers series but the Lakers guards will be a huge liability from a defensive standpoint.
Back to the original post, though, Andrew Bynum really needs to sit down because he's not healthy enough to be playing right now.

The Lakers have trouble with quick guards and Williams and Gibson will be trouble for them. Kobe will have to actually pay attention to West and not just rest up for the offensive end. West can matchup fairly well with Kobe on the other end with Lebron getting some time on him also. The funny hair guy and Wallace gives the cavs 12 fouls against the Lakers post players and both are role players that understand that they play defense and rebound. Joe Smith and Lebron are a good matchup defensively with Odom. The biggest matchup problem will be the Lakers guards against the Williams and Gibson. That will be a major issue for LA. If Williams and Gibson are hitting the open three, this will be a 5 game series. Cleveland has all of its roster at full strength, have depth, a tremendous home court advantage, players all playing at their ability level not playing out of thier minds ready to come back to earth, are well rested and they best overall player. Brown has very good substitution patterns right now, has delegated the offensive duties to assistants and has learned from his mistakes. I killed Danny Ferry a couple of years ago but he has really created a well rounded team around James with role players that play their roles well, depth and found the missing piece in getting Williams. He did a great job making this a team though having LBJ to build around certainly makes it easier.
