Tim Chisholm, basketball writer for TSN.ca was kind enough to chat some hoops with us. You can check out his regular blog here. Here’s a very brief summary:
- Sam Mitchell’s X’s and O’s: Feel’s like Sam’s not capable of having a great assistant which takes a large role in how the team works.
- Mitchell’s gone if he doesn’t win a playoff round. Maybe even early this year if the team struggles because Colangelo will not stand by.
- O’Neal Trade: Had to be done, doesn’t think we gave up too much. Risk is if things don’t work out, it’ll end up being minor rebuilding.
- The small forward situation
- Voshon Lenard: Agrees with me that he cost us Lebron James.
- Takes the Raptors to beat the Sixers tonight.
- Old Raptor teams: The Vince Carter Raptor teams were a “flash in the pan” while what Colangelo is doing can be sustained.
- Colangelo’s philosophy: Hasn’t succeeded in doing this in Phoenix, he’s learning to build for the first time in Toronto.
- Leo Rautins’ handling of the Sammy D situation wasn’t great.
- Predicts 45 wins
