It's probably because they are showing Miami at Orlando instead.

If it's anything like the first game, I could care less if it's on tv. This is going to be a painful season, followed by a painful summer when we land nobody.

None at this point.

I'm hoping NBA TV Canada will pick up the feed from Boston.


Okay, cool.

Thought I saw on the previous telecast that they showed the next three games would be on Sportsnet

Rasual Butler hobbled out of practice on Monday after “tweaking” an ankle, Casey said, while a sore shoulder continues to keep Anthony Carter on the sideline and Leandro Barbosa missed practice with a tight back.

If Butler, Barbosa, and AC are out for tomorrow's game, that probably means more mins for JJ, Forbes, and Bayless.

I think we would have seen more of them regardless, as we begin to settle on a regular rotation.

"And that's the way it is.." as Walter himself would have said.

This is going to be a PAINFUL year to watch. Just looking at our lineup the other game made me cringe at the thought of 66 games. I was really hoping for a 50 game season. This may be the first year in team history that I don't bother to watch full games, or even the GameIn60 formats.

Too many NBA games were already going to be horrible with compressed schedule and lack of training camps but for the Raps, with no star players and some old re-tread veterans on their last legs there is very little hope for entertaining ball from the Raps this year.

Throwing a few traps at people in the first preseason game is great and all but I don't see how the team will have the energy to do it in a season like this. I do approve of the strategy. No sense laying back and giving up huge points. Be aggressive and try to disrupt the plays. The results can't be any worse and you create some tempo to the game so its more exciting.

If James Johnson is going to be a primary ballhandler and decision maker this season I just won't be able to watch that for too long.

In the last strike season shooting percentages and scoring were way down and I expect this year to be worse. So it will be tough to really judge our improvement on D statistically, although our relative place in the league should still mean something.

Yeah I'm hoping that's the case, although I do get the feeling that Casey might give preference to some of the older vets on our team.

Seriously? That part of my quote offended you so much as to provoke that response?

I have probably only missed about 10 games in FRANCHISE HISTORY so the 'fairweather fan' thing is a little off base there bud. I have earned the right to complain about where this franchise is at and why it is there.

Stick to discussing actual basketball issues and not your opinion of other posters and you maybe you can earn yourself a little respect around here.
