Z and Anderson would match-up way better than Dwight and Lewis do on Bynum and Gasol. The fact that Gasol makes Lewis defend, makes the Lakers a huge match-up problem for Orlando. Orlando owned the Cavs b/c aside from slashing, Varejao can't score....
When Tony Battie entered early in the first quarter against LA in game 1, I realized the series was over.....

Cleveland is a much better team overall than the Magic...when they can play their style. Cleveland is not a very versatile team, which is what happened to them against Orlando.
The Cavs would have been a much better matchup than Orlando...but still there is not much of an answer for Lamar Odom when he plays to his capabilities, regardless of whomever is playing him.
