  • Right off the top Andrea Bargnani who sat out in the win over the Bucks will go today he had been sidelined with a lower back problem he will not only go but be in the starting line-up.

  • Also Andrew Bynum missed the Charter flight to Toronto but is in the house at the ACC and can expect a fine for his troubles.

  • Hoops Addict.com part of our Sports Fed is covering the game and was in the pre-game scrum with Phil Jackson. He is asked about Bosh who Jackson once was fined about saying he liked as a player the last time Bosh's contract was up. Have a listen

  • With all that being said welcome to our Live Blog of Raptors vs Lakers. The Lakers have owned the Raps in their 15 year history leading the all-time series with a 21-5 record.

  • If you are able to be near a T.V this one is in fact OUR game on The Score.

  • Raptors come in off a home win over the Bucks and Lakers after dropping a 2nd game to LBJ and Cavs beat the Knicks (who by the way lost by 50 today) at MSG.

  • I wish i was at the game !!
    by Bilal at 1/24/2010 10:58:24 PM
  • Well hopefully this is the next best thing.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 10:58:41 PM
  • I get down to cover the odd game but Lakers is a little to much for me to get in.

  • Too bad footballs on during the game
    by Chimenti at 1/24/2010 10:59:40 PM
  • Well you can follow along on the live blog and watch the football....I hope the Saints win seems the Jets are toast.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:00:17 PM
  • Beine realistic about this I hope the Raptors can just be competitive as they were against the Cavs and if they some how get a win that is a major bonus.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:01:11 PM
  • Yeah manning vs brees would be awesome
    by Chimenti at 1/24/2010 11:01:23 PM
  • O.K let's keep it to B-Ball maybe if someone wants to give us a score on Football at halftime that is cool.

  • This is the last game on the NBA sked today.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:02:16 PM
  • Jarrett Jack and Jose Calderon have the lone true advantage I see for the Raptors in this one. I like them more than Fisher and Farmar.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:03:01 PM
  • Bargnani and Bosh will be in tough with Gasol and Bynum.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:03:24 PM
  • Hedo Turkoglu faces the team he lost to in the Finals last year can that help snap him out of his shooting funk?
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:04:16 PM
  • Kobe with a busted finger is still a dangerous man as Raps fans know all to well.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:04:51 PM
  • Let's go raps!
    by ROBO at 1/24/2010 11:04:57 PM
  • The Lakers have won their last 2 visits to the ACC.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:05:33 PM
  • It is always a big event when the Lakeshow is in town as this is the only time they visit all year.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:06:16 PM
  • Raps gotta establish bosh early
    by Chimenti at 1/24/2010 11:06:20 PM
  • More worried about late vs The Bucks in the road game that was just awful.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:06:46 PM
  • Hedo will be at the top of his game tonite, finals revenge!
    by Bilal at 1/24/2010 11:06:50 PM
  • Hopefully it helps him snap into form. I must admit he had a could floor game vs the Bucks beyond his shooting with 7 boards and I believe 5 dimes.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:07:40 PM
  • If Turkoglu can have a big game that should sway things towards a Raptors W.
    by wiczy via email at 1/24/2010 11:07:45 PM
  • Easy now I think the realistic goal is just to stay in it till the 4th.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:08:09 PM
  • Raptors are winners of 9 of their last 10 at the ACC though.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:08:29 PM
  • Kobe better not throw down another82
    by Cg wionzek at 1/24/2010 11:08:35 PM
  • LOL with a busted finger and the fact he has become a more team oriented player I am saying no to 82+
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:09:11 PM
  • The usual starting line-ups for both sides.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:09:33 PM
  • Bynum will start despite missing the flight he will just be fined and that is all.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:09:55 PM
  • and as Mentioned Bargnani is back and starting.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:10:10 PM
  • I'm just sayin that is forever going to haunt the raps
    by Cg wionzek at 1/24/2010 11:10:15 PM
  • No doubt it is something that will not be erased forever.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:10:32 PM
  • I really think Kobe Bryant won't play that much een tho he's a warrior but let's get real raptors aren't a team you need to waste your star player for Kobe is obviously in pain with bad shooting. Of late so expect to see lots of Ron arrest and Lamar odom and Shannon brown basically the second line up
    by Dane at 1/24/2010 11:10:43 PM
  • Well he will play if it is close I figure.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:11:01 PM
  • Raps can not afford a slow start like they had vs the Bucks.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:11:40 PM
  • Is it just me or did hedo get booed hard in the intros?
    by Laminar at 1/24/2010 11:11:44 PM
  • He was catching boos in the last game so it would not shock me if there was a few boos.
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:12:12 PM
  • Tip time in the T-DOT!!!!
    by James Borbath at 1/24/2010 11:12:32 PM
  • Lakers win the tip and it is a sell out crowd on hand.
