Restart Game #1: Toronto Raptors vs Los Angeles Lakers - August 1, 2020 - 8:30pm ET

[The Great One]

1. Raptors need Siakam to be a lot more aggressive.
2. Powell can't be forcing things everytime he catches the ball. The Raptors offense got stagnant everytime the floor.
3. KL and OG were sensational. You can see that OG put the work in during the break.

As great as Lebron and AD are, the Lakers have nobody who can break down the defense off the dribble when you need that against elite defenses. Lebron had Kyrie and DWade. That got exposed tonight.

I'm just sad this wasn't in Toronto. You know ACC would've been jumping

Championship Beef D was served tonight.

That was an awesome defensive strategy there by Nurse. Davis had 14, but really should have like 6 or 7. A lot of those points came from free throws when they were in the bonus.

Bench sucked.. but didn't matter tonight.

Clamp down on AD and Lebron, Lakers don't have the horses to keep up.

What was amazing was how much they could leave OG on Lebron one on one. Hedged/showed the double at times, but really didn't have to commit to it in a way that hurt them - that's huge.

Raptors haven't lost a game in 5 months

But someone this is is a meaningless game for LeBron?

Its meaningless in terms of it likely won't affect either teams in the standings, but it is nice to gain an edge in confidence over a potential Playoff matchup, especially when we're playing in a neutral site.
