Ok Good News first. Raptors for only the second time this year will have it's full roster. The Raptors when I live blog them vs Lakers are also 1-0
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:21:05 AM
Bad News now....Lakers have not lost 4 in a Row since feb 2007 and the Raptors have NEVER swept the Lakers in a season series.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:21:56 AM
Thanks for that next you are telling me sky is blue right. Explain losing 3 in a row for me.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:22:52 AM
So Hedo Turkoglu will play and as I have been joking on twitter will he heDO or HeDon't that is the question.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:24:00 AM
Demar DeRozan gets to play in his home town for the first time vs the Lakers.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:24:33 AM
Lakers come in having lost 3 straight to Bobcats, Heat and Magic.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:25:26 AM
Raptors need to play D first and foremost.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:25:53 AM
They have lost 5 out of 6 heading into this 4 game west coast trip that features 2 back to backs. The first begins tonight vs the Lakers and then they face the Kings tomorrow. Then a Friday Saturday double dip with Warriors then the Blazers.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:27:18 AM
They have regressed back to the early days of this season in terms of defense and that is TERRIBLE.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:28:03 AM
By the way Holly Mackenzie is in L.A at this game and I asked her if she minded if I added her Twitter feed to the mix tonight she said go for it but she probably won't be tweeting much.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:29:11 AM
I will just nod my head up and down as to you channel selection.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:29:41 AM
If Raps play defense at this level of late they will not make the playoffs. have to pick it up.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:30:21 AM
The honest answer is this trip is more about the next 3 games tonight the Lakers should win and I would be stunned if they don't.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:31:43 AM
I was covering it and was in the locker room it was not a happy place after that one.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:32:11 AM
Rod Black with some stunning analysis saying that Raps have to do much better then Sunday....NO KIDDING!!!
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:33:15 AM
Media on gets access pre and post no idea what went on at half but it didn't work.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:33:55 AM
This is an odd one game homestand for the Lakers.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:34:24 AM
They need a win just as bad as the Raptors this is going to be far from easy.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:34:48 AM
and we don't need to mention 81 one right...ok I won't.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:35:21 AM
Important out of town Scoreboard Stuff. Bucks win....Bobcats Win over Heat.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:36:03 AM
Back in the Vince Carter days when VINSANITY was COOL!!!
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:36:29 AM
I agree about Playoffs and as much as I believe Bosh wants to stay in Toronto they miss the playoffs and ALL BETS are off in terms of him staying.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:37:40 AM
Lakers are the team with that guy with the funny hair if you have yet to see Ron Artest's new Hair do boy are you missing out.
by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:38:36 AM
