pt.2 – when people talk about matchups, I think Jay has parameters he has to work with. Gotta showcase that investment!! (Also, i love how a substantial investment into supposed superior level talent ends up being coached by a NBA level subpar coach. Because, you know.. that makes sense. Oh, he’s Canadian you say? Marketing 101, maybe?

pt.3 – let’s face it, this is not about basketball; it’s about selling a brand, a concept, an idea. Economics 101, maybe?. Trying to be in that “growth going to mature” stage all the time, where the money is. And people love hope and potential. It sells.

We get how much you love Jennings. Good for you — now FAQ off.

BC installed JT as coach because he knew he could fully control JT, whereas a fully qualified NBA coach wouldn’t comply if it affected his W-L record. Smitch played the crap out of Bosh and Jose at the start of last season in a futile attempt to pad his coaching stats, but the ax fell too soon.

Of course bedazzled Moronto fans will accept teams like the Leafs and Raptors, as long as they can delude being part of the big athletic picture. There was even talk of dropping a NFL team into Moronto …LOL

I also think constant change is not what is needed. Until we hit the 20-game mark, carry on, give things a chance to work.

And it’s what the Raps are as a function of the NBA – rookie development and export (Bosh soon, DeRozan after, and all the ones before them), A/P for overpaid vet contract payments, useless journeymen/scraps collecting a living, Euro player testing ground, coaches development (do i have to list the names?) etc. TOTAL F CHAOS.

Useless hope with the “work in process” tag at all times.

And Bosh is cash money regardless of his The Clash singing. It’s what BC gets in return that will matter. Oh, how I dread the thought…if the last few years are an indication. Useless hope abound.

BC will be forced by circumstance to make a painful decision on Bosh … is he a max money keeper or is he gone by his own choice??? BC will have to pull the trigger very soon if Bosh is as good as gone, because the Raptor rebuild must not be compromised by indecision and useless hope.

7.5 PPG while playing 22.6 minutes per game. Not really all that good…

You know who this is? Danny Granger. So, before we flipflop on the Raps’ new KID, give him a couple of years.

Should he be starting? I am not convinced he needs to start in order to develop. I am inclined to start Wright, actually, so that a tone gets set early which will help us get the benefit of calls. Definitely think Beli should be our guy off the bench. If he thrives in this role, he could be for us what the Jet is for the Mavs.

The only reason Triano place DeRozan in the starting line-up is because he doesn’t want Colangelo’s reputation go bad. Triano knows that DeRozan is a bust and now the coaching staff are now in a feeling of “buyer’s remorse”. I’m pretty sure they realized that drafting him was a mistake that’s why his minutes are decreasing. Don’t be surprised if he’ll be a DNP in the near future along with his fellow bust buddy, Patty O’Bryant.

It’s time to place either Wright or Belinelli at the starting line-up. DeRozan has still a lot of stuffs to be learned. Reading “Basketball Basics” by Jay Triano in the bench might help.

The things Bosh is getting ripped for is ridiculous.

Time will tell.

And he had 11 rebounds , not 10.
