IF they face each other.........dickhead Perkins will get in foul trouble against the Lakers "bigs". Lakers take this series.

What bigs? Bynum is half broken all the time, Gasol is a MASSIVE pansy... maybe Pau can flop some more and draw whistles?

Bynum has been lights out since the All-Star break and according to those in the know........NOT YOU OR I....will be fine for the playoffs.

If Gasol is a "massive pansy".........how is it that the Lakers have won Back2Back titles? Before Gasol came around Kobe, as great as he is, sure as hell wasn't bringing rings to L.A. without a great presence inside.

Bynum is going into the playoffs injured, agreed? He doesn't have the best history of staying healthy, agreed? There's a huge difference between playing game 1, and being fine for the playoffs.

I never said Gasol isn't skilled... he obviously is. The Lakers won back to back in part because of Gasol's skill, not once because of his toughness. He just isn't a physical player. Guys like Perkins and Dwight Howard eat him alive in the paint. If Bynum isn't 100%, which is the case right now, and the Lakers need to rely on Gasol to go against Perkins, they are in serious trouble.

Bynum was so jacked last season he could barely get up and down the court verse the Celtics in last years finals. The 2009-10 Celtics (with Perkins for six of the seven series games) were bigger than this years Thunder team. The Lakers beat the Celtics in the finals. The end.

Perk went down in the 1st quarter of Game 6, so he really only played 5 games (Celtics up 3-2). The next biggest guy on the Cs was 6'11" Rasheed Wallace, who took over at center. KG and Big Baby (6'9") rotated in at center and PF. This years Thunder have Perk, Ibaka (6'10"), Nazr Mohammed (6'10"), Nick Collison (6'10"), and Cole Aldrich (6'11").

Safe to say that the Thunder have a significant size advantage over last years Cs

Well, until we see what kind of shape Bynum's knee is in we can go back and forth without conclusion. I will say that IF....YES....I KNOW...."IF"......Bynum is healthy and ready to go I'll take the Lakers big man rotation of Bynum, Gasol, and Odom over anything the Thunder bring to the table in the way of big men.

BOL

If Dallas wins, then the Lakers must win to keep the #2 seed I believe. If Dallas loses, then the Lakers clinch the #2 seed and their starters will probably not play or play limited minutes.

I get your point. Tonights game is VERY important............Lakers want no part of the Blazers in ROUND FREAKEN ONE! Much happier with New Orleans.
