I think Toronto, as a city, should be hard on EVERYBODY. And that includes all pro sports teams and their management. I mean damn, look how loyal the fanbase has been, and what do we have to show for it? Not even playoff appearances. So yeah, we should be hard on management for putting together shit teams or overpaying for mediocre players who don't get us anywhere. We should also be getting on players for underperforming for what is expected of them.
As for the Raptors, don't we want to win? In order to win we need our top guys to perform to their fullest potential, or at least consistently enough. Bargnani, for 7 years, has disappointed more often than shown flashes of brilliance. DeRozan has been improving year after year, but is it enough? Many don't think so since it's already his 4th year and he's still not where we expected him to be when we drafted him. And many are starting to feel like it's Bargnani 2.0 with all the waiting season after season with little result.
So here we are, year after year, rebuild after rebuild, waiting for players to maybe reach their potential. For how long must we wait until we get competitive and relevant? You can focus on the positives all you want, but I don't think you can fault the people who do not have any patience left in them after years of watching a scrub team play, or even worse-pay to watch a game only to have to witness half-assed effort and heartless basketball.
So yeah, positives. I think I'll focus on that once we start winning consistently.
