The early reviews

Here's what Toronto coach Sam Mitchell had to say about the Lakers front court of Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol:

``They make our two big guys (Jermaine O'Neal and Chris Bosh) look small. But again, the good thing is that we play them only twice a year. The Lakers are obviously the best basketball team with or without Bynum. It just makes them bigger and athletic, which is the reason why they went to the Finals last year.''
