Better start to third. Need to sustain this effort.

hoh shit what happened to jv

[MACK11]

Keep this going! !!!!

We started Vasquez, Ross was trying to cover Kobe, and Valanciunas was trying to keep up with Boozer. All were bad moves on that end of the court. Expect changes in the second half.

Disappointed in JV here. I really expected JV to be able to contain the likes of Boozer.

Gv really keeping us in this

I am so confused as to what happened to our defense

I wonder how DD's foul-drawing wizardry effects the pace of the game ...

Thats a really good point... We also get to have a set defense on the other side.

If the Raps lose this game, they're in trouble. They might not even win a game again till DD returns lol.

Lol we will but trust me not many. I will be VERY shocked if we actually play well in his absence. We look that bad. I work a lot so I miss many games and watch it later on ballstreams, but I probably won't bother doing that anymore until Demar comes back lol. This is too painful to watch.

[bryan colangelo]

DD would've at least went to the line and shot some free throws, stopped the momentum. Maybe put some Lakers bigs in foul trouble. Or maybe Lakers woke up and thought "Man they are still the fucking Raptors. Fuck it"

If we lose tonight and Tuesday I can already see the 'experts' dismissing our early start . All that hard work will be for naught.

Our only hope is Kobe thinking enough is enough 10 points is not enough an go into "attack mode" in the second half.

seriously Kobe going hero mode is gonna end up in us winning....or 81

We need to get a little Tar Heel intensity in there for rebounding and defence.
