I’m tired of writing about the Lakers needing to win a game or play better or what the standings implications are when it comes to whether they win or lose. The Lakers play the Raptors tonight and while I could write a bunch about matchups and X’s and O’s and ways for them to excel in this game, I’m not going to.
The team has played poorly of late, I’d like that to stop. Fact is, though, is that they simply have to go out there and do it. There’s a level of intensity and focus and desire required, here.
