(DLO is still listed as probable, LBJ and AR are off the list entirely, G League folks are G league-ing and the out folks are out)

Raptors without Scottie Barnes should be an easy win.

That is why I said this will be a barometer game.

Will we come out and blow them out? Or will they bring more effort than us and make it a contest or a win.

It's a good barometer to see how disciplined we are and how we perform against the teams we're 'supposed' to beat.

Win this one, and show us you're different. A .500 club will cough up many of these easy "take care of business" games. If Cleveland wasn't a must win, this is a must win.

So far the Lakers have lost one game that I considered a real loss and wasn't them beating themselves(like vs the Suns where LeBron had 11 points).

Let's get back on track vs the Raptors and win the rest of these road games.

We lost a ton of those easy "take care of business" games last season. Simply winning those games would get us over 50 wins this season.

If we can't beat them without Barnes, we will be in trouble.

No reason for the Lakers to lose this game. In games like this, it's important that the supporting cast carries so that the stars can take a break from carrying on most nights.

AR and Rui are coming off bad games. DLo has been bad all season so far. Hopefully they have good games today.

3-2 ain’t bad, win against a top 4 Western opponent (T-Wolves), lose against a top 4 Eastern opponent (Cavs), split with a team that had home court advantage last year (Suns) and beat a nemesis (Kings).

The schedule been somewhat of a challenge so far but now the next game is against a supposedly easy opponent (Raptors). A winning team that hat has potential can go 500 ish against playoff teams as long as they beat the teams they are supposed to beat and that’s almost all of the games against lottery teams.

I don’t think Rob/Jeannie addressed the needs to improve the team with a back up in the front court when AD sits and didn’t add back court defense. Those two additions would have given adequate bench support. As a result of failing to upgrade, imo they failed us a fans and failed the players, but anything can happen so we’ll see if the team can win against a sure win scenario to keep our false hopes alive.

When it’s a reasonable possibility, I expect the Lakers to go after a ship like it can’t be denied. I haven’t seen a respectable effort by the Front Office for the last two off seasons nor the last trade deadline. What is going on?
