How about them Raptors.

[Boing]

Just watched a thrilling double pre season overtime game. Ross looks like the real deal.

Didn't see it, but most of the "experts" feels that Ross has all the talent but lack drive. If he ever finds the desire to be great he can be....but right now he's pretty down the depth chart.

I watched it and looks to me he has that swagger. Hope it continues.

But it helps on confidence boosting. Did you notice Barg is back to his old ways?.

He's been that way since he was a rookie.

A parameter guy who can't defend to save his life.

Why dos Rudy keeps on trying for 3's he is awful. Tell him to attack the basket more often and to shoot less.

Yeah and remind me how much we are paying him again.

This could be Derozan's year to be mentioned as an elite player.

What was really funny was Tyler Hansbrough's expression when he turned to see who he was tangling with!

I believe this is his last year on his current contract. My money says he will be traded half way through the season.

Being 6-1 better than 1-6. I was impressed with their effort against the Grizzlies.

Let's talk in February.

Not sure what happened last night but they completely destroyed the Grizzlies. Yes, it's preseason, but it's towards the end where teams are almost using it as final practice and are using their regular rotations. They played the 3rd string rotation for a quarter and a half and still won by like 30 points...

Either way, it's a team that is in desperate need of some winning culture. If they are getting it from preseason, it'll only help them when the regular season starts next week.

Speaks volumes that phrase.

Not gonna deny that for years Toronto fans has gotten used to the disappointment. However they are slowly turning things around. The Argos won the Grey Cup last year (still counts), the Leafs made the playoffs and were oh so close to getting past the eventual champs, while the Jays was a disappointment this year, they at least showed that they were trying to put together a winning team. The Raps should be able to compete better this year than they have in recent memory.

Winning is a culture, and while it has been awhile, it's got to start somewhere. I believe they are on the right track.

 

[BEER]

We won our first game.

Fine it was Boston but who cares.

We won.

 

[Casa_Nova]

They were up about 16 at one point and let Boston come back before they took care of business. If they do that with stronger teams, they won't be able to close it out. Maybe not be a bad thing though...Wiggins!

 

[BEER]

We are 2-1.

Looking good.
