Jack Armstrong went off on the officials and the league during Post up. It was beautiful. Good for Casey standing up for his team and calling out the hipocracy that is officiating in the NBA

Lets just follow suit with Vancouver and move our entire organization along with Ed Davis to Memphis. The league doesn't deserve a Canadian team anyways. Hate to come off so overly patriotic but it's true.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

Well this is why people need to start loosing their jobs over this.
...so far no one has, refs should be fined, if it costs them $ for missing calls, they will no longer miss calls. Game changing calls should be 5X the fine.
...and you always have access to the replay, if you are not sure.Last edited by BasketballCrush; Wed Jan 30, 2013, 11:49 PM.

I've just finally come to the realization after tonight that we never will get these calls so there's not point in trying. Sorry to rub you the wrong way.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

He's not saying the Raptors should leave but he is hinting that maybe there's an ethnocentric reason that Toronto doesn't get these calls. And there is enough evidence to have a legitimate conversation about this, whether you feel there is or not.

There are 100 possessions in a game and it it ridiculous to put it on one. Focus on things you can control. Use the force. Jose Calderon is not walking through that door, Ed Davis is not walking through that door and Vince Carter is not walking through that door. We are going to get not one, not two, not three, not four apologies from this league.

Take it like a man!
Raptor Fans get bent over again.... with no vaseline! Come on Refs! FOUL!
Okay... Recurring dream or did that really just happen again?!? Seriously wouldn't u like to mention your home team's name, cough, cough raps, cough... without quizzical looks from people? What can we do to gain the league respect? Will we always be that team? Or are we finally building the team for the long run?
I was a huge Drea fan but Jack Armstrong makes good points about how the league has gotten smaller. Where does the 7' Italian fit in that makes out with the ball before he knows what to do? Now the league is full of shooters & blocking out the paint isn't as important as guarding the perimeter. Drea argument before was he opens up the paint cause they have to respect his 3ball. Well in his absences the lane seems open enough for dunking. Ask Ross & DeRozen.
So are we heading in the right direction taking an overpaid SF that is the GodFather of our PG's kid? Chemistry. BC is all about the chemistry of a team & will keep trying different things till he finds what works... Even if you are shaking your head asking why he does what he does... I'd like having a GM with the balls to trying different options rather then sitting waiting for the option to fall into his lap. Cause the enigma of the Raptors is an puzzle people have been trying to piece together since opening day. One day I will proudly say I am a Raptors fan.... But just not yet.
