2009:
-BEST PLAYER ON THE DEFENDING CHAMPS Kevin Garnett gets season injury, Kobe doesn't have to face the Boston team that massacred them last season
-Rocket's best player Yao Ming gets injured in second game vs Lakers, backup center Mutumbo also gets injured. Laker's managed to beat the Rockets in a tough 7 game series WITHOUT Rocket's BEST PLAYER and backup center.
2010:
-Boston starting center Kendrick Perkins gets injured, can' play vs Lakers in game 7 of finals, where the Celtics out vastly out rebounded.

Dont forget, Rockets backup center Mutumbo also got injured in that Lakers series. Chuck Hayes, 6,7, their last hope to contain Lakers big got in foul trouble ( with questionable calls) 3 minutes into game 7.
