Comfortably IMHO. Let's look at the Lakers v Cavs benches then and square off the positions, here's my thoughts.
PG Farmar (Lakers) v Gibson & West (Cavs)
Easy win for the Cavs. Farmar is streaky, Gibson shoots the 3 great and West is underrated generally. No other team in the league has such strength at PG as the Cavs (save maybe the Blazers), whereas it's unquestionably the Lakers weak spot.
SG Vujacic & Brown (Lakers) v Green (Cavs)
Lakers win but only by default really. Vujacic is in terrible form, Brown has done very well in spurts. Can't say I've seen much of Green.
SF Walton & Morrison (Lakers) v Moon & Jackson (Cavs)
Cavs purely on the basis of Moon, the only notable player of that bunch.
PF Odom & Powell (Lakers) v Varejao, Williams & Powe (Cavs)
Lakers by a whisker as Odom is fabulous offensively and a starter at almost any other team. Varejao is among the league's best defenders though and with Powe to come back you could make a case that they win on combined merit.
C Mbenga & Gaffney (Lakers) v Ilgauskas (Cavs)
Cavs hands down.
