i think the happiest person tonight is ibaka. Remember lebron spinning the ball on his finger before hitting the 3 in ibaka's face a few years back?

On a sidenote, just stumbled across the movie The Net.

Sandra Bullock in 1995 was fine. Gotdamn.

Just one game. If anything, Lakers come away from this more focused and determined to win.

Looked passive as hell to be honest. Raps play great defense aswell but i didn't see AD exert himself either. Lebron im actually done with trying to judge because half the time i feel he's analyzing opposing teams. I'll judge him during the playoffs.

Raptors front-court tends to take opposing bigs out of games a lot. They did a beautiful job on Davis today. He never got going and they pretty much made sure he never got any confidence or drive in his game today.

Good thing the Celtics don't have a top big man on its roster for the Raptors to take out, then!

Looking forward to our matchup with you guys

Correct

Siakam goes 5-17 and their bench (one of best in the league) only gives them 15 pts.

Lakers still lose by 15 lol

Davis didn't play like a top 5 player and Green played like he wasn't very interested.

Raptors bigs gave the Lakers a lot of trouble. That’s not a good matchup for the Lakers.

I’m not sure that’s strict to this game lol

Don't worry Lakers you won't have to play the Raptors anyways. Clippers are taking you out first.

You must really not know much about the Raptors if you truly think this. Not sure if you've heard of their coach Nick, this was a 1st meaningless game for him as well. The thing is, raptors are just a bad match up for the Lakers. It happens.

One game.

ESPN ready to crown the Lakers as the champs.

Kyle Lowry put up 33 on the Lakers. Could that perhaps be because they lost their PG defenders? West teams with really good ball handlers who can shoot: all of them. This is going to be an ongoing problem.

Good game by Raptors.

They made Lakers look like little lost puppies.

One game but all this media hype about Lakers dominance should stop.

Old king by the way looks really old....

So he actively tries to take out one of the team's top players by doubling on the regular in meaningless game. Nick is intense, props to him.

Double AD + better Center guard him + more reactive defensive team that switches efficiently. Ball gets out of AD hands and into inferior shooters.

That's the short story.

LeBron #1 Durant #2 AD #3 would be the best possibility
