Wonder how many bandwagon Laker fans will actually show up this time around, given the state of their current team.

They'll probably have Raptor jerseys underneath, just to cover their bases.

Could go either way, the Raps in past have actually shown up to play the Lakers. But they're playing better, and with Casey's horrawful management of rotations, we could see a loss just as easily as a win.

These teams may have records close to each other, but the Lakers will still stomp the Raptors.

Is Kobe or Nash guarding him? Kobe has been locked in defensively lately, so if Kobe is on him Demar will once again be shutdown.

Even Kobe at this age is more athletic than Demar.

Kobe's going to give Demar the Rondo treatment and Demar will still go 3/12

Lately? He's never been good, just had a bunch of hype around him.

Hoping to avoid their third losing streak of at least five contests, the Raptors (14-56) have dropped each of the last three by seven or fewer points - the past two in overtime. After falling 107-105 to Chicago on Wednesday, the Raptors blew a 19-point lead en route to a 108-101 defeat at Philadelphia on Friday.

"When you want to become an elite team and that team wants to win and make the playoffs, you don't have an ease mode," said guard Kyle Lowry, who had 11 points and 11 assists against the 76ers. "You have to go hard and try to win every game and keep it going."

Toronto has struggled to sustain anything positive with Andrea Bargnani out indefinitely and Jonas Valanciunas and Linas Kleiza day to day.

Point guard Jose Calderon has totaled 50 points and 18 assists while going 21 of 32 (65.6 percent) from the field in the last two home contests versus Los Angeles.


Damn didn't know we were 14-56.

What a dilemma

1) Stay and watch the game
OR
2) Go out with this beautiful woman and spend the entire day with her.

Return to Toronto Raptors
