    Hedo Turkolgu was predictably booed in his first return to Toronto on Sunday.

    “People have to realize it’s not always the players,” said Turkoglu. “People just got to see what’s really going on and make a judgment after that. I’m not a random guy. Chris (Bosh) was an all-star. Other guys, all-stars, too. You have to ask them what was the reason that they left. Then people will realize . . . instead of just going after the players. (Vince) Carter, Tracy (McGrady), whatever. I know (Bosh), I hope he doesn’t get booed. He gave a lot of good stuff for this organization. I think he deserves to be welcomed in a nice way.”

    Turkoglu will return to Toronto again on February 25th, which will be a meaningful regular season game.

    “I’ve got to come here one more time . . . and get booed again,” he said. “When I came here, people think that I wasn’t paying attention or I wasn’t serious. But this is how I play. And if you look at it in the past, that’s how I do. I enjoy the game, and I go out there and I try to do my best. But here, I guess they misunderstand.”

    I misunderstood the part where I thought he dogged it. I should've recognized that was how he rolled. Then again BC was the only guy in town who wanted to sign him so why are we the ones being accused of misunderstanding?

    Toronto /= Portland. No Raptors fan was hoping we'd sign him, talking about him, or even suggesting it, to my recollection.

    Balls.

    Maybe the Turkish community isn't as vibrant as he had hoped?

    What was the last great move Colangelo did? Is he on the hot seat in Toronto?

    I dunno. Picking Bargs in '06? Doesn't seen exactly great, though. I'm happy with Aldridge over AB, though.

    Looks like Rondo is the HOFer from that class, tho.

    Yeah, Rondo is probably better than LA, at least for now. But when Brandon was healthy, I wouldn't trade him for Rondo.

    Really? Roy over Rondo? In a league where PGs are so important.

    I'd take Rondo. I dude does it all, more so than Roy. Roy healthy though demands his own respect, so it's hard to choose really.

    Also Hedo can lick my nuts
