This is extremely telling. The Raptors are a very savvy organization and if they truly supported Jay you'd hear something from someone somewhere somehow - even if it was leaked or off-the-cuff or whatever - coming to his side. But it really has been crickets so far. Let's see there's anything in tomorrow's papers but the silence truly is deafening from the front office (officially or unofficially).

bc's job is to think rationally and firing jay now would be a panic move. am i happy with jay's performance? no. i had hope after the first game, but since then the team has looked completely different on both ends. and i agree with hollinger that there is no way this team should be the worst in history. they're not the greatest defenders individually, but we've had teams with worse and even then our d wasn't this bad. either the system is flawed, or the team just doesn't understand it and no one is helping them get better at it.
This is one of those times where your green font actually threw me for a moment
