Yes, that was Julian Wright in uniform a night after refusing to go into a game when I thought a one-game suspension might have been in order.
But guess Bryan and Jay didn’t take my advice. Again.
It would seem the incident is now done and forgotten and if that’s the worst thing that creeps into the public in a season that’s among the worst ever in franchise history, then I imagine they’ll be happy with that.

What do we make of Alexis Ajinca?
To me, he’s got very little that this team needs. Yes, he’s long and yes, he can extend defences with his shooting range but, really, on this roster as it’s presently constructed, I don’t think there’s a place for him in the future.
The cost to get him was negligible, in fact they did quite well by getting a second-round pick and the money to pay his salary for the rest of this year, but it was an experiment that really didn’t do anything good.

More?
I’ve got some.
Let’s see.
You give up 84 points in one half on Friday and 94 in an entire game on Saturday? Gotta love of the mercurial nature of a team of mainly young ‘uns.

Nine games left.
Think we can all get through it?
This is without doubt the most trying part of the season, these last three weeks or so when it’s hard for anyone to get truly excited about the games.
Oh, the players and coaches will be up for them and – for the most part – will play hard. Once the ball’s up in the air the competitive juices take over but unlike, say, last year when the playoffs were a possibility right until the final couple of nights of the season, there’s no real buzz around anything.

Now?
Well, we’ll count ‘em down nine to zero, get on with the news that we’ll have to chase when it’s all over – Is Bryan coming back? What about Jay? What’s the date of the daft lottery? – but other than that, it’s more about meeting contest winners and trying to make stories at least mildly entertaining.

Reading through these depressing posts that he's been having lately, i'm thinking it must suck to be a reporter of a shitty team at this time of year when you are FORCED to watch and report on all the games.
Re: Wow, Doug Smith blog was not everything pro-Toronto today
This isn't the most trying times ofd the season.
We knew we were shitty all seasonin mid season knowing it was even half over was trying. Now with nine to go the light is appearing at the end of the tunnel.

Agreed. After basically ignoring the team for a huge stretch of the middle of the season I'm just starting to get excited for them again now that the draft lottery approaches. Not excited enough to watch games, especially with the baseball season starting, but excited for the summer. I'm sure they'll let me down again but I'm like a battered spouse, I just keep coming back though I know it'll end in hurt.
