After winning just four times through their first 23 games of the season, the Raptors have now won four times in their last four games since then, without their two most talented players in the lineup for any of those contests.
Here are some thoughts on tonight’s game:
The Raptors return home looking to avenge an early-season heartbreaker against the Pistons and extend their winning streak.
In his six-plus years as President and General Manager of the Toronto Raptors, Bryan Colangelo has emptied the trick bag. He’s used three different head coaches, made five lottery picks and expended significant resources on trades and free agent signings. So with the Raptors sitting at 4-17 and recently coming off of a lifeless, pathetic performance against an undermanned Utah Jazz team, Colangelo and his supporters don’t have many excuses left. This team is in need of a major shake-up and BC only has one option, before his own head hits the floor – trade Andrea Bargnani.
I didn’t get a chance to post a “Thoughts On the Game” entry last night, but with this team seemingly finding newer and more painful ways to lose close games every other night, I thought maybe I’d just take some time this morning to look back at what exactly went wrong on Friday in Detroit.
So here goes…
What better way to spend your Friday night than to watch two teams with a combined 5-19 record go at it in Detroit?!
