Lakers (3-13) vs Raptors (13-3). Sunday, at Staples

[godkingleonidas]

Raptors lead the east but they're fools gold. I'm laughing at all these teams and their fans who think they're winning a title. Toronto is a 3rd round out if the standings hold the way they are, but I doubt it. Eventually the Bulls will hit stride and so will the Cavs and the Raps will fall back in the east.

But you can bet big money they ain't winning an NBA title.......yeah I said it.

Remember when the Clippers were a joke & you were relevant? LOL. fool's gold? You're not even tin, man. #yellowandpurplebrickroad

Posting for the And1s the Raps fans will give me after they win.....

But in all cerealness, I like the Raptors. Lowry is an awesome player, and DeMar and Amir are from LA. They're at the top of the East and I enjoy that, Toronto has great fans and they deserve a good team.

Having said that, BEAT US TO A PULP PLEASE. We need that pick, so hopefully Lou goes HAM again and Ross shows that laat year's 51 was no accident. I hope Toronto does well, all the posters talking crap are salty.

GO T-DOT, BEAT LEAVELAND (cuz, yknow, the only time Cleveland gets news is when someone leaves)!

Settle down pal. Everyone has aright to their own opinion. Personally I hope the raps make it far, but i agree with Deep that they don't look like a team that can make it past the conference finals. I hope they prove me wrong though.

Damn you, Jakay.

Jakay slacking like usual. I should stop sticking up for him.

[Michael Lucky]

Plenty of talent on that raps team even without DeRozan that i'd be shocked with a win. Lin had his best game yet (then again it was against Minny's D), let's see if he can bring the same performance tonight.

[BEazy]

Man it was friendly jabbing until the dude the brought up that missed shots ****. You know nobody is going to get phased by that little useless stat right?

[VinBaker6]

Its so weird to see the Raps and Lakers having complete opposite records in this manner. If you guys need any tanking tips ask our board. We have years of experience. Now is the time to win though.

Hope both teams get what they want

[DEEP3CL]

The Raps have played some great basketball man. Nothing fools gold about it. Will they win a Championship this year? No. But don't discredit the work this team has done so far this season.

Tomorrow night should be interesting.

Don't sweat it.... some Laker fans can't accept reality that a lot of teams right now have a brighter future ahead and are taking there frustration on other NBA teams... you guys should have your tomorrow night with the Lakers... I expect huge games from Amir and Lowry.

Attention my fellow Laker board brothers...since this guy Nil-the-Clean quoted me on saying the Raptors record was fools gold and EdXDavis21 quoted him saying that we can't deal with other teams being better than the Lakers. Let me take both of them to school like a real vet should.

Now the Raps are 13-3, let me show you who they've played and give you the reasons they got those wins.....

Game
1 Hawks....They won this game on opening night, and we all know Horford was now where near himself, hell he wasn't near himself against us.

2 @ Magic.....They won this game against a young east fodder team, we all know the Magic are in rebuild

3@ Heat....Oh look here a real east team and former contender....yeah that was a L

4 OKC... Got the win and got lucky because Westbrook was out and OKC was in total dysfunction

5 @ Celtics.....Damn another east team on the rebuild and they only beat the C's by 3

6 Wizards....Only second decent team and this was at home for them

7 76ers.......Need I say anything else about this win ?

8 Magic....Damn it must be nice playing in the east and you only beat them by 4 ?

9 Bulls.......Oh snap a contender and the result was....Big ass L on your home floor

10 Jazz.....Yep another young team on the rebuild, and win at home

11 Griz.....Only their 3rd game against real playoff type team, they won but the Griz are a different team on the road anyway.

12 Bucks.....A win but Bucks are just finding themselves and it's the east again

13 @ Cavs....Got win because Cavs are still finding themselves and this was during their week of total meltdown.

14 Suns....They won but only by 4 at home in what's been a home heavy schedule for them

15 @ Hawks...... Got the win, can we just say the Hawks are a treadmill team that has no clue where they're going.

16 Mavs......Look another contender that's better than them and another L for a 13-3 record.

All the losses was to teams that are better than them in the first place and they played 12 of their first 16 games at home and faces 3 cream puffs in ( Magic, 76ers and Celtics ) and got wins against teams in disarray.

When playing teams better than them their record is 2-3, and they have no signature wins against elite teams.

Now DeRozan is out for some weeks and their schedule isn't so home heavy, in fact starting with tonight against the Lakers, 13 of their next 17 is on the road. And again with Demar missing what looks like 4 strong weeks or most of December and 7 of those 12 games after us are against western conference teams.

You gonna sit here and team me the Raps are gonna be at top of the east when we get to New Years day ?

Like that Clay Davis dude on the Wire use to say..... "sheeeeeeit"

You Raps fans better tread easy....my finger is real itchy today.

Wow, hater much? Listen to yourself. So apparently if the Raptors beat a good/decent team, you don't give them credit and when they beat teams they SHOULD beat, you... wait for it, don't give them credit!

Anyway, good luck tonight.

You're schedule outside of 5 tough games have been like a walk in the donut shop. Munching on cream puffs....they're 2-3 against the better teams, and you want credit ?

Beat the Bulls and some west teams then maybe I'll relent, until then they should be licking off all that glaze from all the donuts they've beaten.

[DEEP3CL]

Don't worry B, I can swat these cats down one by one by myself if I have to.

Say what you want son, we took care of business. Your gonna call us out on beating teams we should be beating?

We're 6-3 vs teams above .500, that's all that matters for a young team continuing to grow.

Plus we're in the East, we ain't worried bout nothin. You guys on the other hand....

That was right after they let the bears come back from 16 down in the forth on the road right? Sounds pretty applicable for the lakers.

LOL. The mental gymnastics you're jumping through to throw that 2-3 number out your arse.

They beat CLE..."doesn't matter, CLE's finding themselves"
They beat MIL..."doesnt matter, they're finding themselves"
They lose to MIA..."well lookie here, they lose to a good team....TYPICAL"

Against playoff caliber teams (CLE/CHI/MIL/PHX/ATL/WAS/DAL/MEM/MIA), the Raps are 6-3
