Morning Linkage – Oct. 21/9

Morning Coffee – June 18

Toronto Sun
The 19-year-old forward from the USC Trojans, a projected top-10 pick, is one of several top prospects that have opted to go it alone during pre-draft auditions.
"I felt like coaches get the chance to see everything I’ve improved on without paying attention to other players, their whole focus is on me," DeRozan said [...]

Morning Coffee – June 10

Toronto Sun
“We’re changing the dynamic of our ball club,” Colangelo said.
“Reggie brings a fear factor. He’s a rugged player and a character player.”
Colangelo recalled his recent encounter with Chris Bosh when the GM told the franchise player of the need to acquire a player such as Evans. Colangelo, meanwhile, was not taken aback by Bosh’s [...]

Roll Call – Season Wrap up

The “I told you so” edition
Adams – possessed the characteristics you look for as a general manager of an NBA franchise: a fire hydrant with a headband. Hassan brought as much value to our team as would rap lessons from 50 Cent given to Jake Voskuhl.
Banks – at least Hassan isn’t costing us as [...]

Roll Call – April 4 vs The Knicks

The “6 meaningless wins in a row” Edition

Roll Call – Apr 1 vs Magic

The “best game of the year” edition
Banks – somebody call a toe truck.
Bargnani – pretty much a non-factor in the second half due to foul trouble (and eventually fouling out in the early fourth), he played a hell of a game on Dwight and had him stumbling around as much as I’ve seen Howard do [...]

Buyout, playing time or bench

Is there anything to be salvaged of this crew?
Enough talk about Chris Bosh’s possible exit from Toronto or whether Calderon’s been injured or just crappy. It’s time to look towards the end of the bench and see just exactly what we have there and whether any of it is worth bringing back. The [...]

Roll Call – Mar 27 vs Thunder

The “orange crushed” edition
Banks – here is hoping his injury spurs BC to dump his sorry ass.
Bargnani – anybody else kind of giggle to themselves everytime they see the look of shock on Andrea’s face when he gets called for a foul. That mouthguard makes him look like some “special” kid trying to compute things [...]
