Honestly I had no idea of the existence of this word (and even 'rag') when I wrote the post !

This is the definition I just found on urbandictionary, the main internet resource to learn English:
cloth worn beneath tighty whities to prevent anal leakage from a worn out sphincter
"But the thing is, maybe I do want to wake up one morning and say, `Baby, let's go to the Bahamas. Today.' That costs money. So what if I want to do that?

His Time Has Come

The popular opinion seems to be that Lou will move into the starting lineup, but IMO this will still create problems for the Raps.

Now Raps lose Lou's spark off the bench
T-Ross is still stuck playing the 3
Raps lose height on the wings

IMO the best scenario is to move T-Ross to his naturally position, SG, and start James Johnson at the 3. Raps can keep Vasquez & Lou coming off the bench and T-Ross can play some minutes at SF if need be. It would also give Bruno a chance to play a few minutes per game backing up Johnson & Ross.

With Demar now out, will Bruno finally see more minutes?

I'm wondering if he's really only 6'9" and if he will still grow to 6'10" or possibly even 6'11"... Oh boy, with his length, mobility and shooting touch he could become a real matchup nightmare for the opposing teams.

Have they said Lou is starting? I'm pretty sure it's going to be James Johnson.. especially when you're playing Kobe. Then Fields will get some backup minutes, but Lou and Vasquez will play more.

I don't know how much time it gets Bruno, but I totally agree on starting James Johnson with Ross at the 2. Makes way more sense than starting Lou.

"Garca" is what he said. According to another thread it means "heron" or a similar bird in Portuguese. Another poster said it was in reference to Coach Carter, but I don't follow that.

Bruno got this. Love DeKobe, but by the time he gets back, Bruno will be THE franchise player the Raps can build around, and DeKobe will be trade bait.

I'd start James Johnson myself, but I can see why Casey would prefer starting Lou. James Johnson's energy and defense has been extremely valuable to our bench play. So has Lou with his scoring, but eh, can't go wrong either way imo.

Can't help but think KJ would have been more helpful....

How? He wouldn't get minutes over anyone on this roster. Bruno's like two and a half years younger. I will gladly let KJ idiotically spike balls of ladies' heads for a terrible team while we continue to develop a player who is bigger, a natural shooter and a gym rat.

I want a report on Bruno every couple of months on just how they are developing him and his progress with a count down to when he will be ready for some real playing time . Is that too much to ask . I just want to know the developing is not a code word for sitting on the bench watching .

Doubt that the Raptors are going to file out reports just for you cause you wanted to. We all want to know how Bruno is progressing, we're also not going to know unless he posts something up on Instagram.

He has been developing for 7 months and is a hard working gym rat . In 7 months a guy like DD can probably do a year or more developing so how far away is he still really .
