One player away..and for damn sure it isn't Shaq. Maybe that one
player is Bynum. Lakers this season with a 4 dedicated to collecting
offensive boards win the championship...I just don't see Gasol or Odom
filling that role but I also don't think the lakers will have the
exact same roster next season.

The Lakers defense was adequate enough this season, just not very
consistant. It's all about the rebounds and especially on the
offensive end. Find me a team that has won a championship in the past
20-30 years that didn't have a well above average 4 in regards to
collecting O. rebounds...

lol ... "one player away".... lots of teams say that. If they have the same
roster next year they're going to be in trouble. They need to get something
resembling a defense and between bad coaching and poor defensively skilled
players, they didn't have anything of the sort. No defense = no more rings
for Kobe.

The Lakers defense was adequate enough this season, just not very
consistant. It's all about the rebounds and especially on the
offensive end. Find me a team that has won a championship in the past
20-30 years that didn't have a well above average 4 in regards to
collecting O. rebounds...

****************************************************

Lakers defense was in the bottom half. It was woeful. It really showed how
bad it was in game 6. Or is that a repressed memory? I'm not saying you
don't have a rebounding problem also. Seems like you have a lot of holes to
fill. Funny how those were the exact holes (along with many others) that
Shaq had filled.

Apparently, he does. But since Shaq won't be a Faker any time soon,
it won't be happening.

I said the Lakers defense was adequate..that doesn't mean top 15..it
means they were good enough when it mattered. You think game 6 was a
true representative of the Lakers defensive play this season? Thats
like saying the defense Boston played for about half of the 6 games,
which was atrocious, was pretty much how they played all year. I don't
want to hear about how they locked up the Lakers and overcame huge
deficits either..look at the stats..when the C's went on their runs,
the Lakers were one shot and out. No boards, no second chances, no
chance to control the tempo of the game. The C's are the perfect
example of what i'm trying to convey here..where do you want to see KG
play? Outside shooting jumpers or dominating inside getting rebounds
and easy high percentage shots? IMO Powe, Posey, and Perkins were the
MVP's of the finals. They individually made monumental contributions
at key times for the C's. Against those three the Lakers simply lacked
the talent to offset. Odom is not a true 4, let alone a five where he
spent a lot of time playing. At times he showed his abilities to play
around the basket but he was boxed out at just about the very split
second a shot was put up. Gasol is not the type of player to get
inside and go after rebounds..call him soft, whatever, thats not his
game and the Lakers knew that before they traded for him. So there's
the starting front line for the Lakers..that's where the boards are
supposed to come from for the most part. Now see why it's obvious why
the Lakers struggled and lost to a team that had a well above average
4? What I have a problem with is the lakers thinking Bynum is the
answer..that still leaves the 4 spot to either Gasol or Odom. Some
kind of change needs to be made but really it is a matter of one
player.
