PG: Season over, Pierce may have literally destroyed the Franchise 

Post#482 » by mieshpal » Mon Apr 27, 2015 4:31 am

It's funny how everyone **** on Lowry, but the guy is a solid pg. He is being used as a go to scorer, but what if Lowry was not always looked at to carry a team. I think this team could be built with dd, Lowry and another very solid third option, now we just have to find a way to get another very solid player.

Val is a good piece, but we still need to find another really good starter and retool this bench as well.

Can't wait to see all the changes

I only remember a meltdown this epic and that was when the 94 nuggets beat the supersonics. Actually back then the Nuggets just played their assess off. Here we just made the wizards look like all star team. The drop off was nothing I've ever seen before can anyone think of a similar situation?

We need val to develop a defensive mentality. As long as your starting center is a weak defensive player, your team is going to have a tough time getting better

I remember when Sam got fired, we were like 9 and 8; in spite of that respectable record, we just could see that he needed to be fired (and indeed got fired) ...
Same here with Casey!
that was the deal , a debacle in the first round and you are fired!
He will be fired!
Even Toronto Media has been speculating this for a bit.he will be fired!!

Actually no it can't because those players are not very good. We need elite talent. Demar and Lowry will be forgotten the day they retire. Fools gold.

Lowry injured may be the case. He could also be gassed or out of shape. Bottom line is that he stopped being the same at the same time the team dropped. He got the contract to lead the team and show up for this exact time. He didn't a d was instead shooting poorly giving poor effort and playing without focus. Pretty dissapointed in the guys leadership and I have no problem seeing him shipped if a deal comes along.

When are Raptors getting their own D-League affiliate team? So our young players can develop and not get buried at the end of bench . Masai said this coming year right?

Casey again says, "I don't think someone dominated us, I wouldn't use that word."

What about Lowry and Derozan? They can't even keep their man in front of them. Guess they get a pass. With those guys in the backcourt scoring as many points as they have shots we'll have a tough time getting better.

It seems that Demar uses everything for motivation/fuel, yet it never really translates over.

fire tom sterner. i hate these overly positive, completely unrealistic douchebag people. fake as hell personalities. might as well wear a mask all your life.

as someone said earlier, shut the borders tonight (air and land) and keep these unspirited players and coaches away from toronto.

I remember months back you made a thread about how you were on the fence about being a Raptors fan..

I replied, stating why being a Raptor fan was a fantastic, and unique experience. One you wouldn't regret.

I apologize from the bottom of my heart

Please forgive me


lol awesome memory. when i decided to become a lifelong raptors fan that night, that decision included having experiences like this. what can i say, we're all in this together.

That the team you are suggesting that is a 55 win team does not make any sense.

Demar was the only one who actually showed he cared. Most of all, the most consistent Raptor on the court.
