to be honest both of their benches are pretty mediocre. but one huge advantage the lakers have had the last couple of years is the 3 man rotation they run at the 4-5(gasol, bynum, odom). all of these guys could be starters on a championship team. odom really underachieves, especially this last playoffs with bynum injured.'
but i would argue that the bench is basically a wash and the games were mostly decided by the starters.
