OK, you deserved more.:biggrin:

Gasol has not played well of late. Bynum will be in the way IMO. The Heat have had no bench all year, and they have now figured out how to win without one. The Heat are also doing a much better job of getting their key guys rest when the need it, thus not making the Bench as important.

Your about to get me riled up .
Gasol and Bynum will dominated the Heat's inferior post men. Bynum just taking up space in the lane makes teams shoot more jump shots, which is exactly what you want Lebron and D Wade to do. With Bynum, Gasol, and Odom shot blocking ability the Heat will have to get there points outside the paint.

No, you hit on the keys to the game. I'm not worried about the Lebron/Kobe match-up. History with those two gives LBJ the nod. It's more about whether the Lakers can be affective inside and whether the Heat can get to the paint and free-throw line. The King and D-Wade are #2 & #3 in getting to the FT line this season. If that happens in this game, Heat win!

Kobe and Lebron kind of have a cold war thing going on. The big debate in the league is who's the better player. It's clearly Kobe but people like you continue to be stubborn about this . Everybody wants to see a Kobe/Lebron final, which Lebron has failed to provide. So currently Kobe continues to dominate this cold war and Lebron is not even giving himself a chance by not even making the finals. It's just a big fail for him. Another fail. Failure after failure.
