You've accentuated the positives Andrea brings but the negatives he brings as a starter are hard to overcome. First in my mind is the lack of toughness on the boards of a JV AB front court. Amir is...
I voted to keep him but if he starts Bargnani over Amir again I'm changing my mind.
All the burn AA gets ahead of Fields and TRoss is Casey telling BC what he thinks of his 1st round selection and the acquisition of the $8,000,000. a year glue guy.
Isn't it nice to have a guy like Rudy playing at the 3 spot for the Raptors instead of the long list of mediocrity that was before him.
His next deal won't be for less than his present one so don't...
Change the GM. Change the coach. Change the players. Change the broadcasters. Change the culture.
Who do they bring in that can build a winner? We aren't sure. That is a common theme throughout...
A 7 footer who shoots over 41 percent from 3 and has toughness under the hoop is worth a look.
Kobe lifetime is 45% - 33% from 3pt. Not the greatest percentages considering the excellence of his career. Rudy lifetime shooting percentages are almost identical 45% - 34% from 3pt. Not the...
Andrea starts knocking down shots and tries on the boards he wouldn't hear boos.
Somebody asked chuck who he thought won and he says "I don't know his name the guy who dunked last".
It was.
Carmelo just confirmed he"s playing.
Wasn't it a Rudy Gay elbow that caused Melo's injury? The optics aren't great for Rudy's selection.
Jose plays dramatically worse coming off the bench. The Raptors are playing better than ever since Lowry took over after the trade. Hopefully Jose can find a starting job andnot even contemplate a...
I like the broadcasters who stick to calling the game without going overboard on criticism of the players and their "colorful" attempts at humor. Jack is considered an authority by the sports talk...
I'm amazed at how the trade changed the team so dramatically.
Amir has the opportunity to start and is playing his part to a T. Rebounding, good touch inside, 15 ft jumper, shot blocker and...
For the big Bargnani fans, be thankful for RG. He has stepped into the spotlight that Bargs couldn't handle and has brought a winning atmosphere where Andrea has a chance to shine. If AB does start...
Let's not get carried away. The last thing he needs right now is to envision himself as some kind of elite player. He is the backup 4 whose role is to score 10-15 efficient points and be in sync...
Moving on is what has happened with the addition of RG. With Rudy clearly taking on the top dog role there is no longer the confusion with what is expected from Andrea. That is why I changed my...
I am a TRoss fan. When he's on the floor I'm hoping to see him make big splashes or the high flying act. He is actually my favorite Raptor. While I acknowledge he has a long way to go before we call...
With Davis gone we are getting a good look at Amir as the starting pf. It's only been 2 games, one that was awesome, definitely elite level and the other was good. I want to see him make the most of...
Considering that I know nothing of the circumstances it is impossible to know how he was affected.
My comment was just an observation of life in general.
The reality of life and death can sometimes magnify the triviality of throwing a ball in a basket.
Right now I'm worried that what we get back in a trade could end up being worse than what we have now unless he's packaged with something good. With the nice run they are on I don't want to see them...
You're saying 7-1 the next eight and I agree possible, though not probable but if they did that means they are on a 14-2 run. That kind of run would accelerate their confidence and let this team...
