The 30: The Lakers lose to the Raptors, why this is a good loss for the team, what flaws in the Lakers roster were exposed and how the team can continue to improve on its red hot start. With Sportsnet 650's Marcus Fitzgerald

In this episode, Jas is joined by Sportsnet 650's Marcus Fitzgerald to breakdown the Lakers loss to the Toronto Raptors. To kick things off, they discuss the fourth quarter letdown for the Lakers and how their effort wasn't there in this game, especially on the defensive end. Then, the guys share their thoughts on why this was a good loss for the team and how they can't rely solely on talent to get by, especially against playoff calibre teams. Following that, Marcus and Jas get into the flaws the loss exposed in the Lakers roster. Do they have enough scoring depth off the bench to keep up with the other top teams in the league? With Kyle Kuzma slowly finding his footing after missing two months with his foot injury, can he be the long term answer the team needs and are there any options out there not named Andre Iguodala. To wrap things up, Marcus and Jas share their thoughts on the 7-2 start overall and how Frank Vogel has done early in the season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
