A few announcers have made the comment about the guys that the Lakers "lost" from last year. None of those guys were difference makers really. The difference is that Davis and LBJ are injured this year. Schroder is better then Rondo, Howard is washed up and does nothing but rebound, Mcgee is a role player who does nothing but block shots, and Green isn't dependable, and isn't even as good as KCP.
Last years Lakers lacked offense just like this year, the only difference is LBJ couldn't drive to the basket and get multiple 3 point plays like he did last year and WOULD have done this year, and Davis couldn't get hot and give you 35 points and 12 rebonds on a good night.

Rondo was the difference which is the only reason why they won that Houston series in only 5

Yes, the performance and injuries of LBJ and KD was the biggest thing.
However, I've personally felt that they've lacked lob threats. This is something that had last year in Dwight and Javale.
You're not getting it from Marc, Harrell, or even Drummond -- who's game isn't that.
