What does' Juan do?? Shoot?? and score?? we've a whole lotta shooters.. and pretty darn good in offence overall. .. unless u're a slasher we don't really need your offence all that much.

Lol, how is Fred Jones a good rebounder? The guy is 6'2 and while he has hops, his career high in boards is 6..

What does Jones do? Nothing while on the Raps. I'll take another scorer thank you.

Huh? The Raps only have 2 competent swingmen Mo and Parker.

I guess Dixon can bring spark off the bench but who loses minutes? Parker and Mo Pete are on the wings.

There's nobody behind Mo and Parker other than Joey Graham. Hopefully Dixon plays well enough to steal Graham's time.

Think they just put him on the inactive list like 2 days after he came back . Also, why do you always have a sleepy emoticon?

He's notorious for trying to either downplay or find the negative in any Raptor event, you'll learn to ignore him.

BTW, since you guys now have 3 competent swingmen..... anyone of those you'd want starting over Garbs?

Haven't watched any Toronto games lately... who guards the other swingmen from the other team? Like:

Parker = Kobe
???? = Walton

It's really doesn't matter because they would end up playing the same amount of minutes anyway.

No, I meant like in endgame situations. I remember seeing Ford / Parker / Mopete / Bosh / White guy on endgame sportscenter highlights. Do they get Bosh to guard the other wingmen if that's not the case?

[bballnoob]

No, the swingmen are guarded by Parker and Peterson. The 2 bigs are guarded by Bosh and (insert white guy)
