Who the hell is this Jose Calderon guy?

Re: Raptors Nest(05-06)

I cannot stand Rose anymore. And James seems to be as bad as Rafer. These guys look for their shots too much. Time to put in JC at pg.

Re: Raptors Nest(05-06)

Calderon has impressed me a lot. The scary thing is the other foriegn draft pick (luckich or something like that) is said to be even BETTER.

I tried watching the whole game but I just couldn't. These guys were rushing their shots, shooting way out in the perimeter where no one can make rebounds and they generally looked outmatched. I have a bad feeling the Pistons will roll all over them.

The Raps just got outplayed last night by New Jersey and are in trouble tonight as they'll take on the always tough Pistons. This could be a long night, and a long season for Toronto.

Re: Raptors Nest(05-06)

Now 0-3 to start the season, thumped by the Pistons... gonna be a long season indeed.

We just can't seem to get ANYTHING going. And getting rid of Rose is a must.

Re: Raptors Nest(05-06)

I tuned into the game and saw the score was 80ish to 63 and I was like....DAMN well no need in watching the rest of the game.

Hopefully this slow start is not indicative of how this team will play all year. I still wish they'd stop going with all this perimeter shooting and try to go inside.

Re: Raptors Nest(05-06)

Just watching the Raptors lose again. 45-28 the rebounding edge for Cleveland. Chris Bosh is the only one doing anything. Jalen Rose cannot shoot a lick in 4 games so far. Rose even has missed 5 free throws. WTF? I was impressed with Aaron Williams' play. He should play alot more than he has. I thought he was a great bench player for New Jersey. At least he attacks the basket, not like Woods and Araujo who suck.

Re: Raptors Nest(05-06)

I will go on record now as saying we will grab the last playoff spot in the east. BOOK IT!

I will go on the record again as saying I don't know what the **** I was thinking....tis' going to be a loooooooooooooooong season.

Re: Raptors Nest(05-06)

Well at least they kept it competitive in the first half. That's the only positives I can gleam from that game. I think we're going to hit rock bottom before we get good. Are there any potential franchise saving players headed to the Draft in '06?

Do you think Sam Mitchell will be around come Christmas?

At this rate, he might not make it through November.

If the Raptors don't look competitive over the next 10 games I think Mitchell will be gone.

Re: Raptors Nest(05-06)

Well it was a competitive game for the most part. They really came out with some fire but the 2nd quarter and a good part of the 3rd really sunk any chances they had to win this game. So far the Raptors can't seem to put up a solid game for all 4 quarters.

Re: Raptors Nest(05-06)

I don't think either Mitchell or Babcock is gonna go anywhere, even if the Raptors do end up having a dismal year. There's only so many times that the Raptors can do management overhauls. I mean, first it's Isiah, then it's Butch, then Lenny, Grunwald, Kevin O'Neill, etc etc... They just have to stick with somebody for a few years until it works out.
