What’s Colangelo thinking?

I wonder if he’s lying in bed, his wife reading silently under her lamp, worrying about adding an eighth straight tomorrow night.

I wonder if he’s on his treadmill, Bluetooth headset in, hopeful that Riley will return his third message. 

I wonder if he’s eating a late dinner, being chatty with the waiter, reminding him we’re starting to get used to Jay’s system – it’s going to turn around.

I wonder if he’s online, reading the things we’re saying, shaking his head at how little we really understand.

I wonder if he’s got his feet up, in the midst of a closed-door brainstorm, desperately trying to stop the bleeding.

I wonder if he’s alone at his desk, staring at his Executive of the Year trophy, and thinking: “Help.”

I wonder if he’s peacefully sleeping, dreaming of Italy.

I’m just SO curious, ’cause I know what I’m thinking.

    im thinking.
    toronto fans (including me) are pathetic. towards every sport.. lol
    we fired Smitch too quick.. and oh uhm.. like i said last year.. Tj Ford Was Our PG.. OUR TEMPO PG.. we should of dealt him for a wing player.. we desperatly needed a wing then.. and now.. prehaps a wing player who could pull down 5 – 7 boards and go to the line 300 times per year and slash with nice handles.. lolll.. MOON is RUSTY.. and MOONS OFFENSIVE “DRIVE/CUT” game has declined DUE TO T.J FORDS absense.

    or hey guys, we can Re-tool.. do it the UTAH WAY.. bring in PURE WHITE GUYS and have a hard nosed coach and play hard WHITE basketball which NEVER WINS the REAL DEAL.

    not rascist, im white myself.. but quiet frankly.. why THE HELL DIDNT WE KEEP JOHN LUCAS? loll hell.. HE WUD BE ALOT BETTER AS A BACK UP then UKIC.. cuz JOHHN LUCAS played with the Rockets.. actually did decent and im sure his bitch ass gained a shit load of fucking EXPERIENCE which WE FUCKING LACK

    lol btw; Raptors still HAVE a Rusty ass chance at the 7/8 spot.. im pretty sure nets will fall off… since they’re not as talented as us.. Oh wait i lied

  2. Tj Ford says:

    Curse of T.j ford
    im telling you guys, what we did to T.j ford was not cool.

    its just what we deserve

  3. romes says:

    lol….that was great

  4. Andiamo says:

    im sure hes thinking toronto fans are fickle bitches….and how to parlay jo into a sf….the sky isnt falling people.

  5. Raps4Life says:

    BC is thinking. Can I really fire 2 coaches in one year?

  6. Dinosty, I have to know: what are you thinking? ;) (That’s what I’m thinking!) lol

  7. Screwed says:

    He’s thinking…. I’m a born salesman and people will believe anything I say so I got that going for me. So when we finish 15th in the East, I can blame the coaching change, the players not playing hard enough, but the all star talent is there. Injuries have plagued us and we got out of rhythm.

    But never fear Rap fans.

    Delfino and Messina next season will put us into serious contention and challenge the Magic and Cavs in the conference finals – 7 games.

  8. phdsteve says:

    love the image of Colangelo on the treadmill, with the Bluetooth, saying things liek “No Pat, the knees all checked. And besides, arent you tired of Shawn’s crap yet?”

    Im sure what he is thinking is…”I cant be as bad as Babcock, can I?”

    i wonder if the wheels are turning yet?

  10. yertu damkule says:

    JO bobblehead day is the 30th vs the bucks, right? is it crazy that they’d wait until after then to trade him?

  11. Albert says:

    He should be thinking if I dont act fast I am going to lose revenue .. I dont blame Colangelo for nothing he has done. Got rid of Tj Ford which you can tell he was not giving his all , Jose was last season. I was really excited in having J.O. to Toronto (really thought he wouldnt pull the same #($& but he did) Andria Bargniani is slowly showing what Colongelo saw in him we believe too. Now that the team is at a hault I think he should make a move but the right move. I would suggest getting rid of Calderon cause we wanted to try him out and honestly he is good but not that great,, I would get Nash… That would not only say Blockbuster trade but would get the fan’s really excited .. And he is Canadian.. He wants to come here..I would trade Jose and Oneal for wing players in the mix as well coming from Miami..

    So Colangelo I am on your side I know if he still doesnt do anything this year.. Next year will be amazing .. It’s called patience and keeping your composure.. He know’s he has alot of eye’s on him and he wont stop till he lives up his legacy.. WIth that said I am not watching a raptor game till a trade is done lol!!! Sorry I dont find it entertaining watching a dead horse..

  12. Sam says:

    I just hope he stays strong and holds out for a Dance Pak for Heat Dancers swap as part of the JO-for-Marion deal.

    And Albert, I too have to say wow. Why not trade for Lebron if that’s how the league works?

  13. DribblePenetration says:

    im thinkin i work too hard all week to watch a raptors game on a friday night and see the same things happen over and over

  14. Dave says:

    Colangelo is thinking about how he can trade Jermaine O’Neal, and also how he can make Chris Bosh happy enough to stay past 2010.

    Winning Strat:

    MLSE, please hire the RR team to be the next G.M of the raptors.

    If the goal is to improve on a team with a 16-28/.364 W-L Rec’d … with the cost savings involved … I doubt that they would actually do a worse job than the present GM. Then, again, I could always be wrong. : )

  17. Pike says:

    I”m thinking that’s your worst ever blog entry Mr. Dinosty!

  18. Paper Bag Fan says:

    The TJ curse has spread to Indian as well. One of only two teams in the East below our disgrace of a Raptors team.

  19. Paper Bag Fan says:

    My previous post was supposed to say Indiana not Indian.

    Personally MLSE should open up their pocket books and not be affraid to spend over the cap. Who are we kidding, this corporation makes a killing selling pseudo competitive teams to its fans. The fans need to be rewarded by MLSE for their support by allowing the Raps to spend a few extra dollars to bring in some real talent rather than trying to surround a star player with two decent players, an aging oft injured veteran and bunch of D-Leaguers.

    If the Leafs went 0-82 they would still sell out all 41 home games. Look at how TFC fills the stadium, and even in the Raptors darkest years they still put a respectable number of fans in the seats. Throw us a bone MLSE.

    Are you saying that the curse of TJ Ford is going to break Toronto’s spine?
    _______________________________________________________________________

    haha i was thinking more of along the ways of the similar curse the RedSox had when traded or let Babe go.. if im not mistakend.

    and as for “the curse” being sent over to Pacers, lol pacers are rebuilding by far.. they have exceeded my expectations for this year. People labled that franchise this year to be TERRIBLE.. and all said.. they’re not BAD, They’re not awful, they’re not awesome, they’re not great.. they are just “MEH” lol.. and the Raptors well.. what describes them out those given words folks?

    btw; CURSE of T.J did the BUCKS as well until this year.. but then again the season aint over so BUCKS might fall off loll

    T.J’s curse un reversble.. until you bring in PROPER PLAYERS.. not european star’s and folks delfino wont come back. bargs is stepping it up.

    [...] disrespect to the Raptors Republic, but I don’t wonder about any of these things.  I’m fairly confident that Bryan Colangelo* is chewing gum and looking vaguely agitated.  [...]
