Raptors Vs Celtics Recap   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3709 of 5030 |

I believe that was the definition of "frittering one away". Was there
one player who had a good game? They simply stopped running plays. Of
course Carter started to play well because he is the only guy on the
team who can succeed while everyone else stands around. The rest of
the players need some structure.

Mitchell made a mistake by keeping Woods and Alston out of the 4th.
The raps needed Woods rebounding and defense and they also could have
used Alston because Palacio wasn't providing anything. I'm willing to
give Mitchell a pass on this right now because he is still trying to
establish controll over this team.

I refuse to blame Mitchell because these players simply aren't doing
what he wants. They are just too soft. Its up to Babcock now. He's got
to bring some players that Mitchell can work with.

This team needs an overhaul. Scrape it right down to bedrock. Start
with some tough guys, some size, and some interior scorers. We've got
soft perimeter players falling out of our @$$'$. We'll never run out
of them.

Well, they kept the game close. They outrebounded the Celtics and defended PP well. They were in the lead for most of the game. Yet somehow they found a way to...

Well maybe you haven't heard about the meltdown. Mitchell is benching Alston and Woods tomorrow and maybe more for their conduct. Alston is unhappy about the...

I saw that. I just didn't think it would escalate beyond this game. The Portland deal should've happened already. It's almost inevitable it's going to happen...

Wow. If the raps were fighting for a playoff spot I might be mad, but what an entertaining game. There was some very fine ball handling out there by both...

... He ... defense. I would gladly let him go. Him and Bonner seem to be the same player anyway. If there's anything I'll give Sam Mitchell credit for, it's...

... I still think the raps need a lot of size and toughness. They still have no depth in the middle. Any team should be using 4 big men in a game. The raps...

... We have size and toughness! Araujo, Williams, and Woods! All under contract for next season. Exciting, isn't it? :) I partly disagree about Bonner. He's a...

... When it comes to the draft I am sadly less informed than I should be. I always know WHAT I want, but the specifics of WHO I want are a bit foggy. The Raps...
