This team is so frustrating. The only reason I will pay any attention to this season will be for Jonas.


If it wasn't for Alan Anderson going off the last game, we wouldn't have needed that coin flip. >_<

Damn you New Jersey!! They took that game so lightly

Nothing is going to happen guys, BC never has done anything on draft night, but draft. Ross is here to stay.

Looks like another gambit from BC.

He has always had a tendency to gamble, but if past records from his Raptors days were any indication, this one will likely not pan out as well.

But who would be that idiot that would trade up to 8th to take Terrence Ross? I'm not expecting any trade. This is awful.

If we can take off the blinders for a sec - Leonard also a bit of a reach for the Blazers.

Lamb still not drafted.

He's got awful measurement to play SF too

Kidd Gilchrist has like 7' wingspan and 8'8 reach
Ross is 6' 7'' wingspan, 8'4 reach


This completely sucks! And I was so sure I wasnt going to be pissed tonight!!!

Drummond was RIGHT THERE. The only way this can be justified is if he's one of the medical red flags and he becomes Chris Taft. Even if Drummond becomes something like Dalembert, that's perfectly ok.

How can you **** up something so obvious?

Not impressed by our pick...our 2nd rounder might probably end up having a better career.

Terrence Ross is either for a trade, or BC knows something that nobody else knows.
