GAME:49 Los Angeles Lakers (19-29) @ Toronto Raptors (32-15) - LOSS - 19-30

Tired of these guys missing freethrows...

They have to realize that free throws can help you in so many ways then just the points itself.

It can keep you close in a game when your offense is lagging.

They can keep talking winning all they want , we ain't winning nothing big until this team is better at sticking free throws

[what would jack bauer do?]

Well that van fleet guy actually helped with some timely shots in the first half. We kept pulling within 4 and they kept breaking up our spurts with scoring runs of their own.

If this squad had Lonzo, nights like tonight would be much easier. Without him being that safety net for us on offense and defense we have to play every possession perfectly from a cerebral aspect.

I'm going to guess there are better pgs in the G-league we could poach than Ennis

12 point loss. Didn't ever seem that close. They separated on the starters at about the half way point of the first quarter and we never overcame that initial shooting drought.

Ingram finished with 4 make FG's. Not even in his worst 15 games of the season shooting wise. Ingram doesn't typically do well against larger and physical front courts and it proved true again tonight.

Clarkson and Randle shot FT's well.... everyone else sucked. Luke needs to get this cleaned up.

A few decent defensive stands but they were offset by some horrible perimeter defense by Ennis, Hart and KCP. Kuzma played Ibaka well on a number of possessions and Randle was his typical schizophrenic self.... decent on the perimeter but less that good inside(also 10 boards in the first half and none in the second).

All in all this game went the way it should have. A veteran team with few weaknesses against a young team with many.

I didn't see the game - But once again, Caruso had better stats then Ennis with 1 less minute played - Why the F can't way play Caruso more, while Ball is down and even while Ball is playing Caruso should be 2nd PG

[TyCobb]

Such a leap from Randle this season. I can't wait to see Ingram's next year. I'm glad we had some noise on Walton early this year... accountability on him has paid off. Glad Randle is starting.

walton cost us this game. ennis has more minutes than clarkson this game. just obscene. clarkson is capable of playing 30 mpg. rest should go to caruso. that and keeping lopez in the game when he was just chucking and playing terrible d. thanks for another avoidable loss luke.

Yawn.....

You can't beat quality teams on the road when your starting PG is Tyler freaking Ennis. Period.
