One thing this Lakers team seems to be missing

[BUMP.]

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?

Sasha Vujacic

Odom and Ariza

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.

Sasha Vujacic

Vujacic pisses off his own teammates more than the other team

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.
