NBA : Root To Raptors Losses?

Entertainment Blogs - Blog Top Sites



Well, for starters, let me reveal that I live in Toronto, but am in NO WAY associated with the rowdy, cheap ticket crowd sitting up in the $12.50 Sprite Zone seats yelling 'MVP! MVP!' every time Chris Bosh gets to the free throw line. And that line won't even attempt to pass through my head before the Raptors learn to START WINNING! Let's see their major screw-ups over the past few years...

1.) Hiring Babcock as General Manager, who "smartly" drafted Rafael Araujo with the 7TH OVERALL FRIGGIN PICK!! :O . This meaning that he gave up the likes of Andre Iguodala, Josh Smith, J.R. Smith, and whoever else....stupidity at it's finest.

2.) Letting Vince Carter go without seeking a proper offer! As soon as the league was aware of Vinsanity on the verge of leaving Toronto, teams were ready to offer anything(even their soul to the devil...nah, just kidding!) to get Air Canada on their side! Yet, Babcock couldn't bare to break his streak, and therefore traded Vince Carter for a loafty, on the verge of retirement Alonzo Mourning, who ended up getting paid by T-Dot and didn't even show up! Shame, shame...

3.) Letting Morris Peterson leave for the free agency market! I mean c'mon, clearly he was one of Toronto's most favourable athletes, having been on the team on of the longest, and just letting him go, aside from being an amazing shooter, but also a versatile scorer, was a bad, bad mistake. Despite not having better numbers than Kapono, he was able to accomplish much more, and it might be one of the roots to the Raptor's losses.

4.) FIRING SAM MITCHELL! C'mon guys, that's one drastic decision to make, ESPECIALLY when you're less than 20 games into the season. If you recall, the past 2 seasons had the Raptors starting off with worse records than the current one, yet they fire him now and replace him with interic coach Jay Triano. I mean, he's great and everything, but Mitchell was established in the league, even Coach of the Year 2 seasons ago, and I feel this is the current reason why the Raptor's are so mixed up in their plays, offence, etc. blowing 14 point leads at the half to lose the game.
