Big win versus Dallas ,Jay Triano doing wonders with the kids .
Kids?
De only kid on dah squad is De Rozan.
De ress a dem is hard back veterans.
Now Portland is a team with KIDS
Raps still too inconsistent and "soft" but they have improved their defence of late and Bosh is so far having a monster season.
Calderon looks good off the bench....for now. Jack handling the starting duties seems to hav allowed Josee the opportunity to be fresh. Something he wasn't after TJ Ford left.
Bargnani is still developing and is a nice player who is capable of the odd big night but he's now 3 years in the league and shows what a waste of a #1 pick he was.
I always thought Turk was overrated and he's proving that this season. He might be known as Mr 4th quarter but he hasn't shown it for the Raps at all. The guy got skills for sure...but he eh worth what the Raps paid.
Weems, Bellinelli, Johnson, Banks, Jack are all solid role players which is good to have but come p;layoff time, not going to be good enough.
Reggie Evans gets to be the highest paid & scariest looking cheerleader in professional sports.
The real diamond is DeRozan who by all accounts is a level headed, eager to learn, hard working young man who can be a star in this league one day if he continues on this path. This kid got game.
For me, Jay Triano is a nice guy basketball junkie. He has gotten a great opportunity and that's great for him. But he's not anywhere near the upper echelon of coaches in the NBA. I still think his best position is as assistant coach.
