The Raptors play 7 games in 9 days. That's crazy! I hope Casey realizes this and limits Bargnani and Calderon's minutes. I think it's outrageous that the Raptors are playing so many games, even for professionals, that's tough.

I think Casey should do the opposite of that. I think he should play Bargs as much as is needed for the team to win and be competitive, and if that means 40 minutes each night then so be it. The last thing Bargs needs is someone to help him take his foot off the pedal. The expectations for him have to continue to be set in place. He's our best player, and best players need to rise to the occasion. So suck it up and perform. Because this team will go as he goes.Welp, that sucked.

EDIT: This was supposed to be in response to Matt's post.

ED should only get extra minutes if he is earning them. Last year was their only chance to get minutes despite performance (done in the name of development). This year they get minutes because of performance. Time for our boys to man up and get theirs.Welp, that sucked.

Perfect schedule to begin the tanking.The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.

Its next to impossible to do that when you have no energy because you're being run ragged with almost no days off in between games.

Raptors can beat anyone and everyone, except Miami (IMO), if they try hard on both ends of the court.
