Key Match UP


Jose Calderon v. Jameer Nelson

MHC TAKE:

After the Raptors got their second win of the season earlier in the week, the team responded by putting fourth arguably it worst game of the season against the Celtics. The Raps defense has fallen apart ever since an injury knocked out Kyle Lowry earlier in the season. If the Raptors are going to beat anyone going forward, the defense has to improve. Against the Celtics, Toronto gave up 30 or more points in two different quarters as well as allowing Boston to shoot 56% from the field. Toronto will be without Kylw Lowry, Alan Anderson and Landry Fields once again in this one and the Raps need to have some new faces step up. Bargnani is averaging 14.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in the last three games after totaling 48 points and 14 rebounds in the previous two, those numbers simply have to improve. Orlando should not be taken lightly as they have been playing their opponents tough this season and have not lost by more than 10 points in their last 3 games.
Lets go RAPTORS!!

If we lose this, then something needs to change, and when I mean change, I mean Fire Colangelo.

I've been a supporter of this guy but enough is enough already.

I'd rather trade Bargnani but, BC seems like he'll never do that so...

That was my first thought, but then I remembered Colangelo is the guy thats keeping him here.

Please, we can't lose this. We don't suck THAT bad. ray:

I agree BC isn't the greatest GM, but why do we fire him when he has no direct relation to the game against Orlando.

BC is a solid GM and I doubt he's sitting there like nothing's wrong. He's probably looking for trades to improve the team.

lol come on man. When is the last time BC made any big trade. He's used to making minor adjustments and giving away our main players for nothing (Bosh)

THIS. The only good trade BC has made with the Raps is trade for lowry but thats only because Houston was giving him away. But since he didn't really upgrade the rest of the team much, we are garbage without him... Hence the 2-7 record

Not a BC fan because of his FA signings/extensions, his trades and drafting are fine. Can't really blame him for Bosh. You can blame him for the clusterf**k that is Kapono, Hedo, Amir, Landry, Calderon, DeRozan, etc.

[Six-8-TheWizard]

Lol at all the negative comments already.

[deaner]

Reddick is sick. Will not play. Jones will start.

Oh i can absolutely blame him for Bosh. The smarter GM's (Denver) told their players they have to absolutely decide by the trading deadline. Not surprisingly Denver got quite a lot for Melo. Now i know his trade value was definitely higher than Bosh's, but still.
