The Raptors kept it close down to the wire, but there was never much doubt about who would be taking this game in L.A.

Despite the Raptors strong effort against the Lakers, the Lakers locker room was clearly discontented with the victory, as they felt the Raptors are not even in the same league with them, the following comments highlight this sentiment:

“They don’t deserve to score 100 points on us.” – Lamar Odom

“I’m throwing this [expletive] in the garbage,” Bryant said.

The fact of the matter is, the Raptors are still a league laughing stock despite Chris Bosh’ best effort and being as much as 6 games over .500 this season.
The Raptors now find themselves at 32-30, and 3-7 in their last 10, which has dropped us to 6th place in the standings behind the Bucks and only 1 1/2 games out of 9th place and back into the lottery.

The Raptors MUST make the playoffs for Chris Bosh to even consider staying in Toronto, so we have to get it together now, or else….
