Guy can't even drink a water bottle right.

Dude is the first and only graduate from the Vin Diesel school of how to drink.

He's implementing a system we don't have players for. You can't get a big (Achiuwa) and train guard skills. It's not possible, or the player won't work hard enough.

For point 3 Nurse shared the same sentiments. Look nba coaches on average are paid 3-4 million annually. If your so smart go and apply.

The Boston game had critical errors. The sub for Trent when McDaniels was rolling in the fourth. More importantly he was defending so well. As soon as the sub happened White hit a three in front of Trent's weak contest.

He played Siakam way too much and it caught up to him in the fourth. Siakam had several bad possessions because he was tired.

Left Dennis in and Boston was daring him to shoot. Dennis had moments but he always going to be the worst option on the floor. Later missed a crucial free throw and middy. Also Dennis can't defend.

One minute left and after a foul call was overturned, Toronto had the ball and 2 timeouts remaining. The floor was jammed on the pass out for Scottie and they should have called a timeout to get a better look.

Darko just can't manage a game. Not a game like this. Against bad teams maybe but he just blows things in a lot of situations. That was a win for the taking.

When will you guys understand that this roster the front office put together is not as good as you think it is?

Darko might be mediocre, he may even suck as a head coach, but I refrain from criticizing him unless the front office puts together a somewhat competitive roster for him to work with.

Nurse is, by all counts, one of the top coaches in the league and even he failed to carry this roster to the play-offs.

JJ Redick has no proven track record. Even if Darko is a horrible X's and O's coach which he appears to be, he does have an excellent track record when it comes to developing talent. That's what we need right now. JJ Redick would have been a disaster.

This is what I kept saying last season. It wasn't coaching that saw us miss 18 free throws at home vs the Bulls. The roster sucks.

Prediction: Starting Dennis despite getting IQ and Barrett.

Return to Toronto Raptors
