Odom starting is good news IMO..Lakers need a new look, going to the rarely used 3-big lineup is a solid risk IMO..it might not work, but it's worth a try..

As for their bench, it sucks either way..their starters will have to play big minutes either way, so this doesn't change much IMO..

They need to find a spark somewhere, to get themselves back in the series, this could be it..

Unless that bench can really step up, they're going to need 80+ out of that starting 5. Kobe can get you at least 25 of that. Can they pull 50+ points between Gasol, Bynum and Odom? Fisher won't provide much of a scoring punch. That's roughly 18 points/each out of those 3 big guys. I think they'll have a hard time reaching that.

Said aloud like that^is a little disconcerting.
