The Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers are both in the midst of figuring out who they are. But while the Raptors are integrating new pieces and rebuilding a winning culture, the Lakers are struggling to figure out how their existing pieces fit together. It’s going better for the Raps right now, winners of 3 of their last 4 games and 2-1 on their current West coast trip; the Lakers had lost four in a row before beating the Clippers on Sunday.
And while Raptors fans, certainly, have questioned the team’s coach, the Raptors themselves seem to firmly be in Darko Rajakovic’s corner — but “unnamed sources” had a lot to say about Darvin Ham last week to Shams Charania.
