Game 20 (TOR v. UTH) Dec 7: Raps Look to Make Jazz Sing Their Tune Tonight

I'm not really sold on MacMillian. He plays at an excruciatingly slow pace.

Ric Cho built the Blazers, he's on the Bobcats now.

Thought it was Pritchard. Could be wrong.

He was fired a few years ago and did all the initial drafting for them. He's currently the GM of the Pacers.

Pritch was the one who built the playoff team around Roy then. Built a playoff team in Indy. He'd be on my shortlist then.

Thread title is so stupid.

It was painful watching this last night. Bargs did not care at all. He let guy after guy coast past him for easy buckets. In one shift, Kanter, Evans, and a 3rd player went by him or through him to the hole.

I got off work early which never happens and was really looking forward to just having a beer and watching the game but the Raps are anemic.

The team is far more talented than they've been playing I think and it's frustrating their not even my team and it's enfuriating.

Not only that why would the Raptors failing be painful to you lol.

They are the last Beacon of Canada in the NBA. Ailing Nash and the kidlets isn't much to talk about. No hockey and Raptors are like the only Canadian team in play period.

CFL = done
MLB = done
NFL = no teams
No one in north america cares about soccer not sure if that's still going.

we only have one player with allstar potential BC rushed the rebuild i don't even blame him the raptors should have either let him go OR gave him a multi year extension so he didn't have to make desperation moves. This is getting sad for us lol.

The only move that could be considered "rushing" the rebuild was trading the 2013 pick for Lowry. BC did not trade any of this teams youth/potential outside of that pick.

True enough, trading the pick for Lowry was deemed by BC's detractors, his best move of the off season.

Reality is, at what draft position in 2013 does that pick yield a better player/value than Lowry?. Considering the strength of the 2013 draft, IMO the pick would have to land in the 4-6 range for the Raptors to potentially lose out on this trade. Putting the team exactly where they would/should be.

Rushing the rebuild would have resulted in trading any or a combination of this teams youth/potential (Davis/Ross/DeRozan/Val) for complementary players, which was not done.

It doesnt have to. You hope it does. It does however allow another young player to grow with the team and keeps the team developing (sucking) for a little longer to allow you to grab another young player a year later. It looks like we are sucking enough already though.
