PrintToronto Raptors at Los Angeles Lakers, Mar 9, 2010 10:30 PM EST
March 9, 2010
TV: TSN - 10:30 PM EST
The Raps hit the west coast looking to right the ship. The first opponent is the LA Lakers. With a win the Raps could actually sweep the season series. Unlikely, but it gives you reason to watch!
Go RAPS!

Yeah, that’s a given. However, I just don’t know what Colangelo does to put this team to the next level. I don’t think holding this group together is really going to cut it either.

For the contingent that thinks the Raps can advance beyond the first round of the playoffs, they need to face the Celtics in a 4-5 matchup. They have no chance in a 7-game series against the Cavs, Magic or Hawks.

Andrea is so key
This is why I get so frustrated with Andrea. When he’s on and aggressive, the team takes on another dimension.

Coinciding with Bosh being sidelined… Basically, I think we’ve established that Bargs is a supporting player, not a number one option.

Lakers asleep
Love the Raps play in the first half, especially considering they’re getting nothing from Bosh or Turk.
Problem is, I feel that LA is just sort of going through the motions right now. I mean, Kobe looks bored. Toronto needs to be ready to withstand a big Lakers run to start the 3rd.

I Remain Impressed
with what the Raptors are doing. As you guys know, it’s blasphemous to hate on the Angelinos (note the sarcasm), but when they play a team that can run with them and make just as many clutch shots, they tend to shrink. The Raptors, Jazz, Mavericks, Nuggets and Cavaliers are all more than capable of beating the FAKERS in the postseason. Just hold on a little longer and you’ll have it made in the shade.
