Well, we do have the killer fighting spirit. 104-100. If they use challenge on the Kuzma foul that is a 5 point swing, we would have been up 102-101. You can’t improve unless you see the flaws. We learn from this and go at it again Tuesday and Wednesday. If Kuz gets the call he would have popped us up again 8 points in a short span and all would be singing a different tune.

One game is ok, remember how we whooped healthy GS in the past few years


It happens. We got a healthy Lebron and AD and they don’t even have Lowry and Ibaka. We should of won with or without Toronto having those guys.

Crap game for both Bron and Brow despite their numbers and they’ll be the first to admit it.

It happens Tor played harder and deserved to win. Gotta dust off our shoulders and get ready for Phoenix on Tuesday. This 7 game winning streak was fun but it’s time to start another one

Lakers in both instances got run off the court to begin the fourth; team then starts to panic and wheels fall off

The spurt to get within 4 was great but they needed to slow down and assert a better inside out game but didn’t - started chucking or ramming themselves into 3 rap defenders

Was frustrated that Lakers seemed to slack a bit in 3rd and 4th while raptors were really into it

I also noticed raps showed length that disturbed the Lakers

Bottom line Lakers have a way to go to get to that level. Team as a whole got a bit of a drubbing in 4th and a humility check


Good post. They've got 73 games to work out their issues. Five months from now they'll be a much better team, and they're already pretty good! I believe.

KCP, Daniels, Cook.. all these undersized worthless guards that are not even rotation level players on a contending team will be our demise. There's a reason they ain't hitting consistently. There's a reason why they are cheap contracts (Kcp should be). If we are relying on these guys to put us over the top we're (bleep).

Rondo, KCP, Caruso(sorry man, I do like you but still), Daniels, Cook, Bradley...we'd be better off having none of those 6 and just ONE CJ McCollum. Or one Brogdon etc. just throwing names out there that I know are not possible. Team needs 1 more bucket getter.

I'd take that one guy over all these unreliable guards and have no bench. Because we don't have a bench anyways with these tools..

We shot the same percentage from 3 as they did.

Defense was the culprit today. And they out hustled us too.


Our 3s were wide open. That is unacceptable.


And if we played better defense it wouldn’t have mattered.

32 fast break points. Waaaaaay too many. Those are high percentage looks we gave away. 3 pointers are lower percentage.

Our team identity is defense. That’s what we are supposed to bring every night.

They have been good and the 7 game winning streak proves that.
As for losing tonight I could see it coming a couple of games ago.

We can’t continue giving teams hope entering the 3rd or 4th quarter. Turning on the switch late in the game doesn’t work at a high winning percentage.

Gotta keep our feet on their heads while their underwater lol

Hopefully this loss will bring them back to earth and we come out re-focused and determined

Both of kuzma’s missed 3s at the end were wide open in rhythm ones, so he should take those. It is a make or miss league. Raptors hit much tougher shots tonight

104-100.. And we were in the bonus too. All we had to do was drive.


I know it's not the popular thing here on Raptorsground to point out the 8 or so missed calls the refs gifted the Raps but isn't there just the slightest chance the Lakers didn't drive the ball in precisely because they in fact would not get sent to the line even IF fouled?!?

The Boucher foul on Kuz missed call literally ended the game for us...

Good post. An everything you mentioned highlights my question from earlier of where in the world is Danny Green tonight??!? Lol

We need him and I’m confident he won’t have too many games like tonight where he registered a doughnut 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

AD with the MVP answers for the post game interview.

Owning up to the team playing bad tonight while also addressing all our issues.

He knew all the stats for each raps player. You know he’s studying everything like a basketball psychopath he is lol. Mamba mentality forever lol

Meh doesn’t seem worried and positive moving forward so maybe we should do the same.
Gotta shake this one off and get ready for another winning streak

3 point defense, When you are against a weaker team.

That’s what you have to focus on, let them shoot mid range or sth.

Don’t allow 3 points, and you basically cannot lose.

Our 3 point defense is just so bad...
It showed even in the preseason against nets.

I know raptor didn’t even shot that well from 3.

But that’s how they stayed in the game early on by making some 3s. You need to shut that down in the beginning.

Frank needs to stop using that play review early in games. Would have liked to see it used on that kuz play in the 4th.


Don’t think he could have, even if he used it. Can you ask for a replay on a play where no call was made at all? I don’t see how that would work.

Props to Ujiri, great job of re-tooling after losing Kawhi and DG.


I never like losing, but I agree with you that he has done an incredible job for Toronto even AFTER winning a NBA Championship.

You’re right. I’m pretty sure there may have been another instance better suited for the challenge in the last few minutes- but it does not appear a coach challenge the failure to call a foul in the sequence I was discussing.

I don't think so, I think if that was possible, they would have lost the Dallas game.

I'm not worried about the loss. Teams are going to have nights like this, it happens in this league. What has me a tad frustrated is the fact down the stretch they kept trying to jack up 3s when it clearly wasn't the best shot. Look at what Toronto did at the same time, took the best shot. That was the difference, that needs to be addressed in the film session.

I thought the Lakers were getting excellent shots down the stretch. Kuzma and Davis aren't 3 point snipers but they had been making them and they were clean looks in rhythm.

Toronto was in a huge funk offensively and turned long rebounds from those wide open misses into transition baskets. If even one of those four shots goes in, I think the Lakers take that game.

Yeah as I clearly said in the next line. You're also over-exaggerating too much. If the front office wasn't so incompetent all these years, we would most likely have that 3rd guy to go with AD and LeBron.
