  • 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

  • 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.

  • Lakers are the best

  • Thanks for that next you are telling me sky is blue right. Explain losing 3 in a row for me.

  • So Hedo Turkoglu will play and as I have been joking on twitter will he heDO or HeDon't that is the question.

  • 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
  • Need to come out with a strong start tonight or it will be tough to make a game of it
    by Scott at 3/10/2010 3:25:36 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.

  • Very true 4rth place offence and 4rth place defence usually doesn't work in your favour. Giving up 113 points a game for the last 5
    by Scott at 3/10/2010 3:27:26 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.

  • wats up ya'll ready for a Raps win....this game is on tsn right??

  • 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
  • Worst in the history of the NBA. If it keeps up they will have trouble making the playoffs. More then just trouble
    by Scott at 3/10/2010 3:29:49 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 at the Philly game and the D was hard to watch
    by Scott at 3/10/2010 3:31:48 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
  • At half I was wondering how hard jay was getting into them. Do you know?
    by Scott at 3/10/2010 3:33:25 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
  • im guessing it is tsn then.....not so good fact for the raps...overall they are 2-8 when facing lakers at staples center
    by Ronny006 at 3/10/2010 3:34:56 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
  • last time they beat LAL @ Staples was dec. 28 2001
    by Ronny006 at 3/10/2010 3:36:06 AM
  • Back in the Vince Carter days when VINSANITY was COOL!!!
    by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:36:29 AM
  • This will be another big whooping of a loss for the raptors. They all need to step up if not there will be no playoffs.
    by Kobe got this edited by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:36:48 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

    by James Borbath at 3/10/2010 3:39:10 AM
  • Agree, the door is open for him to leave and play for a better overall team
    by Kobe got this at 3/10/2010 3:39:18 AM
