Lakers without Gasol, without Bynum, without a problem.

By: Umberto Diona
The Los Angeles Lakers have been without big man, Pau Gasol since the start of the season, out with a hamstring injury. Despite being with out their all-star forward they have still been able to maintain a good winning flow with the help of their other weapons. Now with the recent loss of center, Andrew Bynum to an elbow injury against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday NOV. 6th, will the Lakers still be able to keep up their flow of squeaking out the wins. The answer is yes, even without Bynum and Gasol, the Lakers still have the weapons they need to continue to win. Though they have yet to blow out a team, they are still adapting to newly acquired forward, Ron Artest, and as the season continues you are able to see the Lakers slowly-but-surely to adapting to Artest in their arsenal. Lakers will need the bench to step it up, esspecially from players like Josh Powell and D.J. Mbenga. With Josh Powell's 13 points against the Grizzlies he has shown that he will be able to temporarily fill Bynum spot until he is healthy again. The Lakers have nothing to worry about with their two starters out, they have the depth to clean up this mess, until their return.
