You’re really funny, you know that? Too bad you’re not very logical at the same time.

“no other owner wanted to interview him for a Job. He was hired by MLSE because he was able to make Phoenix profitable (6th in the L)”

Wait, so even though his team was sixth in profits, no owner wanted to touch him? Guess those owners aren’t as interested in making money as they are in feeeeelings.

“Kevin Pritchard, Otis Smith, RC Buford, Sam Presti, Danny Ainge, Danny Ferry, and now John Hammond”

LMAO. Lemme see now…

- Kevin Pritchard is probably a good GM, but he has a lot of help from Paul Allen. While other teams are busy selling draft picks, he has the green light to buy them up. Also showed his decision-making when he threatened the entire league with a lawsuit if they signed Miles last season.

- Otis Smith would have had a much harder time if he didn’t inherit from the previous GM one of the top two or three players that most GMs would want to build their team around today. You also can’t say he planned the direction of the team so that he’d have enough cap space to take Rashard Lewis off Seattle’s hands for nothing. Take a look at his moves and draft picks. Mediocre at best and that’s only because of Courtney Lee.

- Danny Ainge… you mean the same Ainge that was viewed as a joke until he lucked into Garnett and Allen? Okay.

- Danny Ferry, like Smith, inherited the #1 player in the league and has done WHAT exactly with the team since then? Failed on Hughes, failed on Ben Wallace, and now failing on Shaq. When your best move is Anthony Parker, that says a lot.

- John Hammond was hoping Flynn would drop to the 10th spot. When you have to resort to your backup choice and it pans out the way it has, it’s called luck. Too bad nobody helped him out with Joe Alexander.

Your argument is only as strong as the weakest link, and when only maybe half of the names you mentioned are actually good GMs, well… you know the rest.

I have been a big advocate of AB however if the Raps aren’t going to run any plays to take advantage of the skills he does have they might as well trade him. I don’t think he touched the ball for the first 6 minutes of the game.

Calderon is the one I am now worried about – we could live with his defensive deficiencies when he doesn’t turn the ball over which he is now doing. you can’t defend the layups he has given the other team the last two games. He hasn’t taken enough heat for this in my opinion. I think either he should be made the backup (starting Jack and Hedo being the primary ball handler) or traded.

And shouldn’t JT be monitoring the attitude in the room before the game and put an end to the excessive levity…especially after previous blowouts?

Would KG allow his team to have the munchies before gametime?

Are you saying that the team knows CB is leaving/having a leadership issue internally and hence what went down (no coming to his defense) as well as bad ball defense are symptoms?

Next game should be revealing. If bad defense and a blowout re-occurs, its curtains until a big change happens.

This loss is more on the porous defense from CB4 and the abysmal coaching from Triano than anything Bargs did in his 23 minutes last night. Triano just punted 2 road games with his bizarre line-ups.

In Boston, CB4 looked like he couldn’t stop a high PG in the post. Under the bus – CB4 was under everything the Celts drove his way all evening!

Something is rotten in Rapsland and it has nothing to do with with Jose or Andrea.

And for all the complaining about no one getting Bosh’s back:
- first if you leave the bench you get suspended, why would anybody give a dollar off their salary to run on to the floor and pretend to fight.
- second CB4 is in a contract year and it’s beginning to look and sound like that’s all that matters.

His defense is bad. Man D in the post decent, but his hedges on the PnR is horrible. He doesn’t show on the ballhandler, nor does he stay on his own man. He just floats in between and lets the opponent decide what shot they want to take. Can’t win in the NBA like that.

1) The current personnel really doesn’t fit together.
2) Bargnani would play better if Bosh were gone.
3) Trading Bosh might allow you to dump the bad contracts of Calderon, Hedo and Banks.

Perhaps a package with Orlando, Dallas, Houston, or Miami?

I know it sucks to see yet another star leave, but this just won’t work.

Like a bad marriage, sometimes you got to know when to know to end it.

And if you think I’m trolling, ask if in your heart of hearts you if you see this team contending anytime within the next 5 years (barring DD morphing into young Kobe and Amir into current Josh Smith.) The personnel simply doesn’t fit together

I’m in agreement with you on that.
And maybe I’m too easy on Bargs, but I don’t agree with him being under the Bus. Maybe I saw a different game, but for the 23 minutes – where Bargnani took a GRAND TOTAL of 6 shots – I thought he played pretty decent. 3 blocked shots, and some pretty good man coverage. He wasn’t scoring, so I guess that meant … time to yank him. Can’t figure out that strategy.

As I think Leo stated during the Charlotte game, AB is averaging 19.6 ppg for the Raps 7 wins, and only 14.9 for 10 losses. Logic would suggest we start to feed him a little more. Watching these last 3 games, reinforces my belief in that logic.
