Thanks for posting that. I think he has lost a lot of fans since the Star went under a paywall (not his fault) but he was reporting with passion on this team before many others were. Wish him the best.
Used to read his stuff a lot.. and find him mildly entertaining. Hope things go well. He's watched and reported on a lot of bad basketball. Would be a shame to see him not be able to get a chance to see some success for once.
Raptors need to win a championship for him before anything happens to him. Like planetmars just said, the dudes been reporting on so much bad basketball for years.
I used to read a lot of Smith years ago, when the coverage by any other of the papers was pretty poor. At one time he was one of the top two, no more than top three reporters covering the Raps. He has seen a lot of basketball and understands the game quite well.
I've always appreciated Doug's lighthearted approach to reporting about this team. He's insightful, and plugged in to the very best in sports reporting. Looking forward to his columns for many years to come. Speedy recovery Doug.
