The Cavs all-round defence is better than the Lakers for me. And they have marginally more depth. The Lakers are pretty much unstoppable inside and you have to hand it to them for their ability to tip teams to death this season - so many 2nd opportunities around the rim. Gasol and Odom basically. Bynum is overrated for me. Offensively he's started to impress me but Nene had his number at the other end on Friday. I still think it's an ask for the Nuggets (or anyone) to get past the Lakers but I definitely think a good jump shooting team has a chance against them, which is why I'm still backing the Nuggets.
