Actually, I'd prefer the Raptors trading Mike James for a big man since Calderon has shown that he can run the offence, its just that he needs more confidence scoring. Toronto also signed Barret to a two year deal or something, so the point guard situation isn't too bad.

Yeah, true...

All we basically need is a coach that can teach defence and a coach that isn't afraid to say anything to players... I mean a coach that is will fucking scream his head off to get his point across.

We need a coach that will actualyl change the players view of things, like tell them that they won't get far in this league if they take nights off, I mean we need a coach to get that message into players' heads and make it stay there.

I think the Raptors have that with Sam Mitchell. If he's not pleased about something, he's not going to sugarcoat it and he's known for giving people an earful of the "truth". Or should I say, DaTruth?

Although I thought it was a good style of coaching the first time we hired him, this style has caused him to go out of favour with some of the players, even if some of the players can be prima donnas at times, a ton of players did not seem very enthusiastic with Mitchell as the coach, which tells you something.

Keep Woods? Are you serious? That guy is almost never motivated to play and he's consistently crappy. Sure he'll have a half decent game once in a while, but it still doesn't solve our big man problems.

The only reason why I'd keep Woods is because he's Bosh's closest friend on the team.

Terrible game by Mike

I'm assuming the shit has finally hit the fan with James. It looked like he was trying to make the Raptors lose today by hogging the ball so much, I bet he gets benched Wednesday.
