No one can stop that front court. With Kobe out, all of the guys are getting more reps and getting into a groove. And don't forget how big of an impact Sessions has had.
From a pure overall talent perspective, they have to be in the top 5 overall.

You know i missed this one Eric my bad, I enjoy your insight on the game honestly. I guess we view the Lakers front court differently. I don't see Gasol as unstoppable, he plays really soft at times and takes time off when he gets tired on the defense end. Bynum is the real enigma he doesn;t assert himself enough in the post and he is very lackadaisical on his runouts on fast breaks both ways. He can block shots with the best of them but there is just something missing in his game overall.
Sessions has been a pleasant surprise. I just don't see the Lakers going very far beyond the first round, just a hunch i would call it. I'm like any Laker fan I will wish for the best but i just don't have that feeling this year like when they first picked up Gasol from Memphis. I know the Lakers took one from Oklahoma and i was surprised to see that, but I can't see it happening in a seven game set. Best of luck to my Lakers though, would love to catch Beantown for alltime championships.
