    Okay guys, I'm really venting right now because it always seems like we're losing at the very end of games. What's up with that? Every single time there's a situation where we get beaten by miracles time and time again. Why is that? What the heck do we have to do to make some noise again? That Dallas game was too much to handle.

    We need:

    -A Coach that can draw up plays, especially with limited time left (Sam can learn from KO)
    -Players that can play man and team defense
    -A Center better than Davis/Sow/Hoffa/Woods
    -A backup PG that knows how to run a offensive set (Jose better learn)
    -Bosh to grow facial hair to be more intimidating

    And we need Bryan Colangelo to do all this for us.

    ...And a bench that doesn't make a ridiculous looking lineup.

    Wait a minute. The beginning of the year, everyone was fine with the 'fact' we'd probably win the NBA draft this year.

    Sure, it sucks that we lost a 24 pt league, even if it was to one of the best teams in the league. However, we'd come a long, long way since November. Sure, the Raps need to learn how to close out games, but think of how far we've come this season so far. If it comes down to one more thing we need to correct for us to be playoff bound, I am ok with that.

    Our defence has gotten much much better, so has our rebounding. We can flat out score! Now we just need to keep our heads in the game until the very end.

    Our bench let us down....how can you say we need a shooting guard when Mo Pete drops in 20? And we have more guys that are willing to take the big shot than most. James, Bosh, or Mo Pete are all willing and able to take and make the big shot. No we lost yesterday b/c of foul trouble and an atrocious bench effort from guys like Bonner, Davis, etc. AND please don't come and say that Bonner had a good game JUST because he hit that 3 at the end. I agree with Carcharias , we were supposed to have a high lottery pick team and it is in our best interest to lose these close games. Higher pick, more character and our guys will learn what it takes to win. We're closer than all the pundits said we were, but we need more pieces to complete the puzzle.

    If we kept Milt Palacio, this wouldn't even be a concern.

    have any of you ever been to toronto? it's a better town than at least 20 of the other NBA cities. peter vecsey in the ny post says in his opinion its the 4th best city in the north americas. - NYC, San Fran, Chicago, then Toronto. That sounds about right. What i don't get is how indiana manages to get players to play there.

    Glad you know the order [​IMG]

    But yeah, Toronto isn't a bad city. I've been there a couple of times a few summers ago. I went to a place called Gino's Pizza. Good place, slices were huge.

    Oh man, I went 2 summers ago, and it is a great city. I like Toronto more, but Montreal has the women for sure. Plus, on like every block their is a sign of pornography somewhere.[​IMG]

    Actually I was totally wrong about that, turns out he is with the Rockets now.
