Okay, okay so it's been more than 2 weeks since the last entry. Wow the Raptors are really faltering here with a 7-12 record. What seems to be the problem? It's quite evident the troubles begin with the Raptors' lack of defense. I heard on a local talk show last night after their embarrassing home lost to the Washington Wizards, a caller was comparing the Raptors to a girls basketball team. I thought to myself "Don't be silly. Have you even watched a girls basketball game? These girls actually play defense. You shouldn't go around insulting girls basketball like that!"
So that's how bad things have gotten for the Raptors. After a respectable start to the season the team appears to hitting hard times right now. On the last entry, I said we should give Triano and his coaching staff some time to work with this team. Well, they've had enough time. They better start turning things around now. I think Triano is a great people person and likely gets along well with the media, his bosses and his players but at some point if he wants to be a winning NBA coach he has to kick some butt like Sam Mitchell use to do.
It is said that the team takes on the character of it's coach. So it's time Triano shows this team a tougher, meaner, win- at-all cost side of himself before this season is written off along with another franchise player.
