Am I the only one not overly upset about this? He's an active defender and he hustles. I think a lot of the issue is how he's used. On offense he should not be spotting up, not until he proves he can make a shot, he should crash the glass hard on every play instead. We know he's a decent rebounder so until his shot starts falling there is no reason we should not have him crashing every play and making chaos. Maybe this would help him get over his shooting slump by letting get involved in the game more."Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."

Good D, 8 - 10ppg 4 - 6 boards - 3 - 5 assists. He is the 5th option in the starting line after all
All of that done efficiently I might add
2.4ppg, 20% shooting, 3 rpg, 1.5 apg ..

It is really going to be a tough test mentally for Fields. He's a guy who has lived a charmed life so-far...
Now he's going to feel the full wrath of Raptors fans who, thanks to BC, have a special hatred for players with bad contracts.
Hey Landry... can you deal with a nation's scorn for three years???

The sad reality is, if/when a change happens, it will only take so long before we turn on the next guy. Kleiza has had ample opportunity in Toronto to be the starter over the years, and simply doesn't deliver. Anderson seems like a real nice guy, but was a D-League scrub signing who worked hard to get a roster spot. Ross is a rookie and shouldn't be slated to start just because he was a lottery pick.
All of our SF options are flawed and all will struggle. so best case scenario for this year is to platoon the role based on match-up and hope that Ross can develop enough to seize the role.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
If you see KeonClark in the wasteland, please share your food and water with him.

Maybe Fields was given instructions to allow the tank to be blamed on him, let derozan bargs and lowry get their numbers, tank the season, blame it on fields. Fields gets paid, we get a high draft pick, fans arent so quick to want to dismantle the core.
its brilliant.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

I don't know about not starting T. Ross or at the least playing him more coming off the bench. He's barely getting any playing time right now. But then again I don't know what managements objective is this season. I have a hard time beleiving that winning is their number one agenda if they are starting a rookie centre next to a defensively inept PF, as has been illustrated so far with opposing teams doing the majority of their damage in the mid to low post (both offensively and defensively). They can't seriously be thinking JV is going to be able to anchor the defense this season.

While fields has sucked he hasn't been the reason we're losing. Id say Bargs should be getting the brunt of everyones frustrations, its like he got gaslighted into forgetting to play like he did last year. Just abysmal.@sweatpantsjer

We're like a housewife in year 15 of a bad marriage. You still see all the same problems with him, but now you just look the other way and go back to drinking your wine.
