March 10 - Detroit Pistons - Bargnani returns & Xrays on Calderon negative

Depending on Jose's injury severity this is now truly judgement time for Bayless....is he or isnt he capable of playing the point at a decent level. It shall be interesting to follow this.

The Answer to your questions is... NO.

"Any more brain busssters?"

You mean you don't know the answer yet?

Haha. I meant he does not have any excuses now as he has the job by default and remain in the pg position rather than moving between 1 & 2. His supporters for the pg position will have to stand by his play and numbers... as well as himself.

to me it seems bayless is incapable of adjusting his style of play, he probably doesn't want to........ I say we use the next couple of games to let him chuck up as many shots as he wants, a couple drive and kicks should also give him a couple assists, and then with his numbers looking good lets ship his arrogant, bald ass out for some pg prospects............

Especially when they had two off days as well. Milwaukee is going to be hard and ugly. Keep the ping-pong balls coming!!!

Casey telling it like it is....

But even that injury cannot explain how terrible the Raptors were from start to finish in a performance that had Casey livid after the game.

“There was no defensive focus. There was no screening. There was no fundamental we executed tonight on both sides, and I’m shocked,” said the coach. “We walked out there tonight like we had won 20 games in a row, with no sense of purpose. We can have every excuse . . . (but)

whatever the excuse is, it’s not valid. This is the NBA and you have to walk out every night with a focus and be ready to compete and we didn’t do that.”

It happens.

I don't think there is anything we can take away from this game that is meaningful.

The Raptors were due for a stinker. Every team has a bad night - OKC and LAL have lost to Washington this year.

Remember, the Raps roster is lacking - I'll leave it at that. If this was the norm, I'd be pissed, but it is not. The effort and intensity are usually there.

Lets see how they respond tonight. My thoughts would be very much different with another outing like this versus Milwaukee tonight.

[ReubenJRD]

What the hell happened to them out there? It looked like an NBA Team vs. A Middle School team...

Positives: Demar had points, but useless points. Bargnani returned, but again useless.. Fluke Injury to Jose, now we know he gets to stay.

Negatives: Everything else.

Losing is ok, but not like this imo.

Glad u found that funny cause the game sucked.

[knickz]

Uh oh...Jose,,,there goes a trade

*MODERATOR: Refrain from personal comments please*

[thead]

just disgusting...I hope one of them reads this and then publicly apologizes for that crap.

[thead]

That game was borderline unforgiveable

Their body language sucked...They looked two steps slow all night...I didn't see one redeeming quality to tonights game other than its nice that Bargnani is back. I've said before and I will tell anyone that will listen...I don't care if the Raptors lay it on the line and lose. I do care when millionaires phone it in, after two days off

[Jclaw]

The call for the second half? The raps tighten up the d, close to within 10 and lose by 15

Let me revise that...
