When you think of recent championship teams, all of them had one thing in common. they each had atleast one player who went out there and did the dirty work, played solid defense, and frustrated the opponent nonstop.
The Jordan Bulls had Rodman
The Spurs had Bowen
Pistons had Ben Wallace, and just great team defense in general
The Lakers had a bunch of guys mainly Rick Fox, Derek Fisher, and to an extent Devean George
Even the Heat had Alonzo Mourning, and Haslem
The Celtics had Posey, Perkins, and Garnett
This year's Cavs have Varejao
When you look at this Lakers team who do they have?

That's the point. The Lakers really don't have that "one" guy. This is a LONG team. They rely on length rather than "bullying" someone.

I agree they are missing an enforcer out there.
But they make up for it by having so many long, quick, athletic players they can put on the floor.

Lakers will have no problem cruising to the finals based on talent alone. They don't have one enforcer, but they don't seem to need one with all that talent.
