Didn't see this coming Toronto Raptors PF Serge Ibaka from the "Republic of Congo" went starting power forward on the 2k19 NBA All-Star Team tonight. Ibaka hit his first 14 shots (15-17 FG) and finished with a game-high 34 points. The Raptors win going away 121-107 and it wasn't that close.What I saw coming was a Lakers Bunch on the 2nd leg of a back to back Motel/Home-Cooked Meal in trouble with a rested Dinosaurs waiting for them. With Kawhi Leonard or no Kawhi Leonard which was the case Toronto dominated from start to finish leading 42-17 before that late arriving Sunday/Driving the 405 crowd could all get seated.
After a 71-49 lead at the break the Raptors continued as Ibaka didn't miss a shot until the 3rd frame. The Lakers could not get close in the 3rd and trailed 101-80 after three. "Kuz" dba Kyle Kuzman the Lakers young dynamic wing led the #LakeShow with 24 points but L.A. shot just 6 for 24 from Hollywood Hills or would that be Sunset Strip near the Hills on a Sunday Night?
L.A. got close at the end as the Raptors had to pull the "Extras" trying to get a starring role and put the starting five back in to close it. that new Raptors Point God Kyle Lowry dba K-Low of Three Stripes and Villanova Hoops added 21 points as he waited on fifteen Raptors tables. Kawhi's Guy from the Alamo City that followed him on the trade to the Raptors Danny Green hit 5 money balls for 15 points.
King James added 18 for the Lakers with Brando Ingram 16, Lonzo a dozen and Rondo ten points. L.A. falls to 4-6 while Toronto remains hot at a 9-1 clip with Kawhi out with a bad foot. What will be the "Rumblings" on Monday in the City of Angels as Lakers lead man Luke Walton went to the Principals office late last week?
Raptors G.M. is looking like a genius getting Kawhi and even Danny Green from the Alamo City for Demar DeRozan. I know we are in game 10 of 82 but from the eye test its looking like a home run!
