Raps Vs Nets Recap   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3723 of 5030 |

Same old, same old. No wins without rebounding. Bosh can't cut it as a
rebounder right now. As much as it is hard to admit, he is costing the
raptors wins. Woods should have been on the court in his place. Even
then thats just a minor fix because it still wouldn't help the overall
softness of this team. They get outrebounded from tip to buzzer and
the entire team is a problem.

I'm not even that unhappy with their defense this season. I think they
battle most of the time and force some tough shots during games, but
if you never get the rebound it doesn't matter. Mitchell can talk
about gang rebounding and the coaches can make all sorts of halftime
peptalks about crashing the boards. Its futile. They don't have the
beef to do a good job.

I was gonna do a player report, but I decided not to. There wasn't
enough to write. Suffice to say that the bench outrebounded the
starters by a lot in only half the minutes. UGH.

I am less and less confident anything will happen. I think the Dalembert rumours are bogus. The Heat seem to be lowballing everyone in their offers and...

Well, if nothing happens, my faith in Babcock goes down. Marshall is as tradeable an asset there is near the trade deadline - short-term contract, a scoring...

I think you better recheck your numbers or go to Hoopshype and see what they say. Now it is quite possible that after the new CBA is ironed out, the players...
