Morey pats others on the back while BC pats himself on the back ("Everyone is calling me telling me how great of a pick I made.").

For the past 5 years I've been waiting for Colangelo to prove me wrong.
I'm still waiting.your pal,

He traded for a bunch of draft picks, and then Howard went to LA. The Omer Asik contract looked horrible. The Jeremy Lin contract stank of desperation. But he's proved me wrong in a manner of 3-4 months' time.

I'd like to see new blood running Toronto without outside the box ideas and thinking for a franchise that due to geography and other reasons is unlike any other team in the NBA.
When it comes to a GM with the new CBA and changing environment, past experience or success is not a prerequisite for me like I would prefer for a new head coach.
I defended Colangelo for a long time but he has had 7 years and it is evident now it is best for everyone if ways are parted. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: One more thing. We've been unlucky this season, we all remember season start, close games and missed foul calls.

ITs really been a weird season. Above all its on BC to move Bargnani because the plan A of building around him crashed and burned. He has to listen to what his coach said last season I need grinders BC gets him Dom McGuire.....Rudy Gay signing generated exciement and a positive outlook so BC is probably safe till next summer.

Just checking game logs from playoffs and I noticed Harrison Barnes.
Guy is 20 years old and averaging 35 minutes per game in the first round of the playoffs.
Then I think about Casey and this thread.
Even if the Raptors were competing for the playoffs, not playing your most talented and promising players because they are young and trying to win is beyond stupid.
I don't think there is any debate with JV.
Make the argument against TR in favour of AA all you want but their statistics are similar and AA is 9 years older.
Casey needs to go with BryCo. Not because he is a bad guy but because this team is still not ready to compete for anything more than .500 and for all the talk about internal/organic growth, Casey is not the guy to lead that MO because he thinks you need vets to win...... this as GSW have 4 guys (3 rooks, 1 2nd year) leading a playoff charge.
Good grief.

I think JV is fantastic, but it's hard to play winning D in the NBA with a rookie C starting and playing a lot of minutes.Last edited by Bouncepass; Wed May 1, 2013, 09:26 AM.

Harrison Barnes has rose to the occasion no doubt, but Warriors lost Lee and he is filling his minutes Barnes averaged 25 minutes this season, around the same as Ross 18 mpg. I wonder what could of happened if Raps drafted Barnes? I like Ross and all but cant help but feel Barnes was supposed to be a Rap...

It just really sucks because Ross is a really good shooter, but man he is shaky when out on the court Barnes just looks at home even when he plays awful... Ross has A LOT of talent it isnt just embellishing him either Ross is quite the specimen. Barnes has the mindset of an NBA player, Ross right now doesn't.

Nothing like team character building wins when your future franchise-cornerstone C is playing in Europe...
