I like how you seem to have an u...Nice post Miller. I like how you seem to have an unrelated beginning that then transitions into your real article. Very smooth! I think your Dos and Don'ts for the Raptors are good, but I have a feeling that they will probably do the opposite by playing Johnson, Calderon, Kleiza and Barbossa a lot to justify their larger contracts and the summer moves, and by trying to build around Bargnani. He's not a bad player, but he can't be the centerpiece of your team for you to succeed. I'm also a bit suprised at how well DeRozan did. I never would have noticed that he had similar stats to Kobe, but I would also say that is a bit misleading. Remember that Kobe had a decent rookie season, but then fell off for a while until he magically put things together and became a great player. DeRozan has a long way to go to get to Kobe's level.<br /><br />As nice as it is to make the playoffs (mostly because the team gets more money) I think it would probably be best not to be the number 8 seed, as it gives you a chance at a lottery pick, which could really boost the team. The problem with the Raptors the past few years was that they were stuck at that bubble section. They were't good enough to get a decent playoff spot, but they also weren't crappy enough to have a chance at the number 1 (which if they ever do get it again, hopefully they won't screw it up this time!). I really agree that it needs to be a rebuilding year with a focus on the young guys. Hopefully BC will look in on our blog and take our advice!<br /><br />PS - your basketball team name is the gayest thing ever!

Sweet column, good links, I liked it all. Never would have thought that DeRozan played like Kobe his first season, but the stats are definitely there. The only reason I would trade Calderon is if he won't/doesn't accept that fact that he is a backup PG. He needs to understand that. Otherwise, you're right, he makes a great backup. I think Barbosa could become a great starter. I could be wrong, but to me he's got what it takes. He never needed to start in the past.<br />Couldn't agree more...Bargnani is definitely a/the boring man. If he had a little emotion, and a little drive, he actually could be awesome.<br />LOVE the Boarding Beavis reference.T-Wahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155455233929296156noreply@blogger.com
