What a shock, the Raptors are terrible! 

Post#1 » by Hemingway » Thu Dec 3, 2009 3:11 pm

All summer I remember reading how they were going to b good this year. "maybe they can know one of the Celts Cavs or Magic out of the top 3" Ridiculous statements like that. Glad to see reality step in and shut the Canadians up!

.350 ouch

I don't think they have a good balance, too many finess bigs starting. No real defensive wing willing to do the dirty work.

Its like when you see a preview of a movie that looks terrible yet people say it will be good. You don't watch it but 3 months later you read it got terrible reviews, lost money and missed the playoffs.

The Wizards have won four out of their last five and will most likely end up at .500 within a week and way beyond .500 at the end of this year. We didn't set ourselves up for ****. It took time for Saunders to get a feel for our roster and for the players to adjust to his system but everything is starting to click now.

Bad news for the rest of the league.

Thats just karma for all the overhyping of their fans before they played one preseason game.

I think a combo guard like Mike James would be better for this team than Calderon no joke.

They need to switch Bargnani with Rasho and switch up Calderon with Jack or trade DeRozan for a guy like Hibbert and start him. They lack defense and that problem can be fixed since they got a lot of young talent on their team.

The team is on pace to have the worst defense of all-time. It's more than just adjustments.

I think they need to send Bosh and Calderon packing and rebuild around Bargs and Derozan.
