Definately agreed, the Celtics had really good bench players, but the Lakers bench gained alot of experience last year. Gasol, as a European PF, just can't play tough enough C in the NBA and it showed. Gasol has a great jumper and they will definately use that more this year in the triangle offense, the missing link last year was Bynum, who is a true center, and the first team offense is so complete with Phil as the coach they are definately the team to beat in the west again. They should be improved from last year with Bynum back, and now that Gasol has had a half season and off-season with this team they should really gel and come back strong.
