Hope
This Raptor organization reminds me of the OBAMA HOPE.
In the begining there is soo much hope...but the result is the same.
New faces, new mgmt, new directions...same result...4-5 yr
Cheers

It's funny to see
Bargnani is who is he.
Financial flexibility has been tossed aside with an extension to DeRozan that was not only generous but unnecessary given the leverage of RFA.
The culture change of last year appears to be one of those great fads that disappear too soon - kind of like Chip&Pepper shirts.
Fields has been a bust.... the only hope here is his hand really is messed and he'll come back much better.... not implying Fields was going to be a star but I thought he'd at least be able to make a layup.

Allow me to add a few to the cylce:
7. Have your "best" players get injured a the worst possible times...then hype up replacement scrubs to superstar status
8. Keep telling media/fans you're just about to "turn the corner" when said "corner" is a trillion eons away
9. Offer $10 seats after Valentines Day to keep a few warm bodies in the ACC
10. Base contracts/signings/draft picks 100% on expectations/hopes/dreams vs on @#*ing R-E-A-L-I-T-Y

The only reason people know JV outside Toronto is thanks to KD. Not saying they will always be nobodies but for now they are.
LOL, I should no better than to try and bring the panic button down to earth here. Never mind.

2) Pre-Season....We're making the PLAYOFFS
3) Post 5 game into Season....I hate this place...fire BC, fire Casey, Trade Andrea, End the Euro Experiment
4) Dec-12....We're missing the playoffs...Sporting scene here sucks
5) FEB/MAR13 - Missed Playoffs confirmed....we suck
6) Off-Season...signing a d-league player...HIGH HOPES...so eggciting...egg citing.
Start again.
2. Nobody working for the team said "We're making the PLAYOFFS". They said the "goal" was to make the playoffs, but the funny thing in this world is that people/teams set goals and don't always reach them, yet accomplish something in the attempt. Would you have preferred if they said goal was to tank? If you understood differently, Sucks to be you.
3. ........ Sucks to be you
4. Personally, I can live with not making the playoffs if the team, and it's young players, show much improvement over the next 76 games, be damned with the first 6. If anything but playoffs this year disappoints you this badly, Sucks to be you
5. ........ Sucks to be you
6. ........ Sucks to be you
Overall I'd say,,,,,, hmm, let me see,,,,,,,, it sucks to be you, and if you're this bent out of shape after 6 games, I'd suggest finding a different team to jump on the bandwagon, or find another hobby. Either would be better for your health.

Fans start fighting in Raptors Republic due to the stress of a losing season.

Meaning that Raptor Mgmt has no clue as to what qualifies as depth nor playoff team in the NBA. This isnt EURO League.

You have to point out tho if your comment is sarcastic, or subjective, otherwise, its no fun.
They said its a playoff team...meaning they cant judge quality of team...they said this team has dept...yet the second unit is total screw-up....meaning the starting 5 have to play full to allow us a win.
BS
