Game #64: Toronto Raptors (26-38) @ Los Angeles Lakers (36-27)

[Mave1002]

Raps deserve to win this one.

[New Power House]

Kubmass and KCP just went to sleep at the wrong time. No Lebron and the team has nothing. Davis has failed so far to establish himself and Frank has no idea on how to bring the fire in his players if they have any. Not good.

[JollyRanch]

Kubmass!

Ironically, he's probably been our best player thus far

[Iron24th]

Nothing working right now. Nothing.

Like BigMoves said it starts with effort and there is none on the Lakers side...

[Iron24th]

Raps deserve to win this one.

They probably will

[McAllen Tx]

It's all effort. None of our guys are putting in any effort right now. AD most of all

Attitude reflects leadership, AD is 1 of our leaders.

[Mave1002]

It's all effort. None of our guys are putting in any effort right now. AD most of all

I'm starting to think that he's playing not to perform but to avoid getting injured. I swear everytime he lands on the floor, he checks himself out for like 2 minutes then goes back to paying actual attention to whatever's happening.

[Mave1002]

Rotation would really be a problem when you're this deep. Gasol and Wes are totally out.

[New Power House]

Ironically, he's probably been our best player thus far

For parts of the game, but his consistent lack of consistency is the problem with him. My problem is our coach. He can not figure out what players will bring it every night. Then Gasol that could help for example, is on the bench frozen. Frank lacks fire, he is a passive terrible offensive coach.

[Big Moves03]

38-21 raptors in 2nd quarter, we are just "talk" actually, we don't put in the effort

Yep, this is the primary issue. I'm a little surprised to be honest, I figured the guys would be ready to start kicking it into gear, but it doesn't look like they have any interest in that

He has always been like that,last year he did it multiples times too, he's scared of being injured he already said it in many interviews.

[Mave1002]

the most positive thing that I could think of is that the playoffs dont start this week.

[Iron24th]

I'm surprised too, they usually walk the talk, not since they came back.

Attitude reflects leadership, AD is 1 of our leaders.

Yep, we're not looking like a contender right now. Not because of our execution, that can be excused, but our attitude. I don't see any fire right now. No pride out there

[Mave1002]

My ultimate fear is that just coz he already got a ring.. he might've lost that hunger. I hope I'm wrong.
