Most of our team can’t be traded at least for a couple of more weeks, which really means another month. Who can we trade to shake things up? We are probably stuck with Triano for at least the season, and Colangelo for at least one more. Something has to be done.

This might be one of the saddest performances in the NBA ever. Just clone 5 Reggie Evans’ and just punish people. I don’t even care about winning anymore. Just as long as they show some freakin’ heart you pansies.

im already scouting for next yr. Watching Evan Turner of Ohio and he looks pretty decent. 6’6 SG with outstanding dribbling ability. His whole game is the dribble and penetrate, just what we need.

Patrick Patterson at 6’8 would also be a nice back up and eventual replacement for Hedo.

Sorry I’m off topic but i cant stomach to talk abt tonight’s game. I’mnot worried yet but im not happy either.

They should just bring back Sam Mitchell! Ha.

I think the whole thing has to do with soft image. Teams around the NBA are probably all looking at the raps saying, yeah, just gotta take away this team’s offense and we’ll get out with a W. They look at our defense before the game and thinks it’s crap. They start the game with some easy shots, test the waters, and just blow us out in the later quarters. It
s the same story every game, different day. These teams aren’t even worried about trailing early on anymore.
TRIANO has to stop playing the minutes card and yell at them, for crying out loud. Everyone is afraid of throwing their bodies around, and aren’t strong enough to hold their man. I heard the Atlanta announcer say, “this raptors team is tall but that doesn’t translate into strength, they’re mainly a finesse team.” Why are we a finesse team, because every single player is slow on their feet. No one single player has the speed to drive past their man. We miss TJ more than we realize man.
It will only go down from here until we get some penetration with our offense.

I should have finished my thought, I meant drive past their man and finish with some kind of move. We are missing that type of player. We shoulda gotten AI.

Jay is kind of like that girlfriend your mother likes because she says the right things and comes across as really on the ball. You think to yourself, maybe this will work because she’s been asked out by a cool guy before, even claims to have studied the Kama Sutra and knows what to do in theory. Problem is, you’ve been with her for a year and something just doesn’t work and it hasn’t for a while. When the lights go down and it’s time to get down to action, you suspect she doesn’t quite know what she’s doing, but it’s hard to break up because your mother likes her. Eventually, you’ve got to move on, though because you still haven’t found the one and each day it’s becoming clearer that she’s not it.

Blaming the coach again? Are we still beating that tired dead horse. I hate to break it to you but Jerry Sloan and Pops are not coming to coach the Raptors so stop talking nonsense. Sam’s ship sailed because BC never wanted him in the first place as they have completely different philosophies on offense (defense, personal grooming but I digress). This team has played some d this year so obviously its not that the coaches couldn’t come up with a scheme. There has been a fundamental flaw in this team since Garbo disappeared into Euro oblivion and the Rocket got traded to SA. Evans definitely would help but lets get real, he will only play about 15 minutes a night and he would eat into AJ’s time (who is having a small renaissance. If your team lacks heart for say 6 years maybe you need to look at who has been here that long and trade them. Bosh is suppose to be the leader and he scores 2 F****************** points. If they trade Bosh now, even for trash, the season might still be salvageable as it is plain to see that Bosh is indifferent to whether the Raptors win or not.

Don’t have access to trade machine here at work but maybe there is a solution that will make everyone semi happy.
Trade Bosh to NJ. True NJ is going no where but NJ has a crap load of cap space and it is obvious that Jay-z is going to try and sweet talk his buddy Lebron into coming to play there. What better way to do it then to already have an all-star on board. Raps could get CDR and Lopez back (plus whatever else would make the deal work). It actually makes too much sense not to do the deal.

The real question is, will our final record be 7-75?

I really can’t see this team ever winning again with this starting lineup. My five:

Jack, Wright, Johnson, Bosh, Nesterovic. We’d still lose 80% of our games this way, but at least they would try on a regular basis.
