I think it’s going to be a tough game for the Raptors to win considering that they’re coming off a loss last night in Denver so fatigue will play a factor. At the same time I think Bosh is a little ticked off and he will be ready to play. Hopefully Demar has another good game but we really need Turk to play just to open things up for Bosh and Andrea needs to get it going early in the game as oppose to in the third quarter.

The raptors overall toughness sucks in my mind and I agree this team needs more defensive minded players

Things just get tougher and tougher for this team.

It’s going to be tough for the Warriors to get the same value back for Monta only because he basically made it clear to the public that he wants out and right there that diminished his value and teams are going to low blow this team knowing that they have to move Monta.

If i were the rockets I would say no to that deal just because of Maggette's contract. It's not worth taking on a contract like his.

Changes need to happen and it starts with the front office.

Pops is a good energy guy to have on the bench but he is not going to get much playing time.

it's not happening Raptors just don't have it tonight

depressing game thus far

Turk is out for sure and Wright will start in his place

I feel bad for the fans of this team. It just seem this team is falling apart and this season just might be over but that would take some smart moves by the gm and thus far he hasn’t done that.

Well it puts an end to this drama

I can be somewhat of a homer and I got sucked up into all the hype during this past offseason. It’s only been 10 games and I’m left a little disappointed mainly because of their inability to get stops when they really needed it and also not being able to convert at the offensive end in crucial moments. The defence in my mind is not that bad regardless of what the stats indicate. I see three things to be their main problem which is they allow too much dribble penetration which makes the defence collapse which gives shooter open shots. The second thing is failure to recognize who has the hot hand/3pt shooters and the third thing is not getting the defensive rebound to close out a defensive stand. In the next few weeks the one thing I want to see improve with their defence is their toughness and pride on defence. Demar has done a decent job defending. He had done a good job with the minutes that he got but I feel like he can be more aggressive both on the offensive end and the defensive end. He in my mind is too passive but he is slowly getting better. I think playing Jack at the 2 guard isn’t working out thus far. He just doesn’t look comfortable and I agree he has taken too many jumpers and that’s just not his game. I’ve seen some good things from Wright on the defensive end and on the offensive end I just scratch my head. Amir has been excellent thus far and he keeps getting better. Bosh is just killing it. Andrea has done well thus far and shame on his teammates for not recognizing when he has the hot hand. Needs to be more aggressive down low and needs to rebound more. Andrea’s defence for the most part has been pretty good. I personally think Hedo jacks up too many shots other than that he is just as advertised and I believe we have seen Hedo at his best yet. I understand that he is an inexperienced NBA head coach but he has got a lot of coaching experience with the national team and 7 seasons with the raptors. The biggest thing is Jay is very smart and everyone will see that when this team’s chemistry improves.

Were 10 games into the season and I just wanted to get a feel from everyone how they felt about the season thus far. Please discuss anything that has stood out to you thus far.

I could argue the same point about Amir Johnson. That’s why to a certain point I feel that they’re very similar.
