I'm no Lakers fan but LA has too much talent and the Spurs can't match up with a Gasol, Odom, Bynum (when he returns) frontline. Throw in an effective Ariza and there you go.
Yes, Manu won't be injured like last year but Bynum won't be, either.
Celtics-Lakers finals this year.
thought bynum was out for the whole season?
The early estimate for Bynum's return brings us almost to the end of the regular season; the latest estimate takes us into the second round of the playoffs.

If this timetable holds, he could very well be back in time for the WCF's and Finals.
Like last year, the Lakers can hold the fort until then. Even if he doesn't return, LA is younger, more versatile, more athletic, as we saw in lastyear's 5-game series.
