I know Matt52 doesn't need my support but he can have it anyway. Landry Fields will start next season AND he will change the way basketball is played in this town. Now there's two of us.

The Raptors announced today that Dwane Casey has assumed the position of Coach and General Manager of the Toronto - based team. Casey explained the changes that are to come into effect immediately:
...
You have also missed my solution for the second all-star that the Raptors already have on the roster. I'll save my formula for helping that man to blossom until someone tells me that Andrea has truly...
In the interest of full disclosure, the Raptors do have an NBA All-Star ( or two ) on the roster already. In the first case, we have not learned how to motivate him. Now don't tell me that we've...
thead:
ED must develop a move to the right hand that is effective - the league will be sitting on his "always left" predisposition.
Comments on AB also apply to JV. The organization has to be...
Why is anyone surprised that Casey wants to fill out the roster with a guy like this? Jamal is no doubt still in the Toronto plans - the slot has yet to be announced but he'll be there for the next...
Amir will be needed at center this season - he cannot be traded until Jonas proves himself to be ready for the NBA.
Rob, I agree. In the long run, I want a competitive and entertaining team in TO. With the roster manipulations pertetrated by super stars and by GMS that have become the norm in Boston, Miami and LA,...
Lots of people on this site are eager for the Toronto team to break out in 2013 but when they post here they have the need to appear NBA savvy and so they won't gush about the potential of a well...
That would be a dream come true - but - Vancouver is a hockey town and a football town. The local sports outlets barely acknowledge the NBA and that's probably because there is no demand from...
JJ is Dwane's lockdown defender. Dwane has 10 days left to evaluate the team for 2013. Might I suggest he's using this time to determine if any other player is ready to rise ( like cream ) to the...
Try size 16 - size 12 would be ballet slippers for the Dirkmeister
You need two in this league and they both need to understand the coaching guys' system very well BUT each needs to have their own strengths as to how the system is applied to game situations. Jose...
A proposal for 2011:
- pick the youngsters you want to develop and play them lots
- start the game with the old guys so they get to be "starters"
ie Reggie, Leandro, Linus, Mago and Jose for...
Man, I just want the Raptors to play an aggressive brand of basketball this winter. Take advantage of the youth, energy and speed of the team that is here and show us the Raptors can be the Young...
Let's stop anticipating the signing of a superstar and focus on what the Raptors are for the upcoming.
The Raptors are the young guns ( Weems, Johnson, DDR and their older brother JJ) plus a...
How about Antonio Davis, or Hedo Turkoglu. The former was used wisely while the latter was wasted by a reluctant coaching staff who wanted to run the ball through a point guard who has not lived up...
How is the trio in Miami any different than the trio in Boston, or the NY Yankees for the last ten years. Money runs pro sports and the money says people in Cleveland and Toronto will remain fans...
I'll miss him in Toronto colors and I wish him well in Miami. I hope he gets what he's looking for but...but...this is the best thing for Toronto. CB4 does not have the right stuff to be the main man...
I don't pretend to be an expert here but didn't BC bring a defensive guru over from Pheonix to shore up Jay's lack of expertise on defense? My understanding is that Jay is the offensive genius and...
One other thought. Jose Calderone might want to spend some time this off season doing what has to be done to play NBA defense. Be nimble, be strong, be smart (study your opponent's predispositions -...
The Cavs just gave the Raptors a great compliment. They would rather play a healthy Chicago Bulls than a (potentially) crippled Toronto Raptors in Round One. They lost by one point to the Bulls with...
How Hedo is being used has to have some effect on his performance. In Florida he was a potential all-star so what happened? Arriving in the cold of Toronto he magically became too old and totally...
On a positive note, it was a pleasure watching a real franchise player play this game in the NBA. Would you trade Kobe for Kevin Durant? How about King James? Exactly - we wouldn't BUT after that the...
