    I don't think I liked the way their locker room seemed. There is too much disrespect going around for the rookies. I don't know how they will get close as a team if they categorize people as rookies or vets.

    I think the rookies should respect the vets and learn from their experience, however I don't think the vets or Sam Mitchell should be disrespecting on the young guys.

    It's not just Raptors locker room, it happens to all the rooks, i believe it was on the NBA rookie TV Series or show on spike tv that showed how every rook got mistreated or not what.

    no man..it happens to all the rookies..everyone plays jokes on rookies and they understand that
    examples: Memphis: all the vets kick basketballs in the stands n make rooks get them
    Knicks: Frye sends coffee to everyone in their hotel room..Nate carries all the bags..and Lee sends wake up calls

    Its still a lame way to treat people... The rookies probably need more help and confidence than anyone else, they need the vets to be an example and help them along, not be immature bullys.

    Good link PlaTsanity. One thing i noticed from the video is I really like Sam Mitchells coaching style. He seems like a good communicator, and appears to demand alot from his players without stepping on there toes.

    With regards to the hazing, I thought it was acceptable, its a good way to build chemistry and integrating the rookies to the idea of the team unit. The only problem is when hazing goes over board, but to me it looked harmless.
