In the pg interview TJ said he didn't know Andrea was starting until the starting lineups were announced before the game.

Wow..

**Belsius** · 04-20-2008, 05:48 PM

lol, he wanted to surprise everyone, even his own team.

JattDogg · 04-20-2008, 05:54 PM

Sam is not the worst coach, i just dont think he is a starting coach right now. He is not an x's and o's guy and unfortunately that wont cut it for us long term.

IF we fall out of te first round, he is a goner for sure.

BUT that said, we just gotta have some sort of faith in our guys to get'er done...shit or not gotta stick by em!

**Belsius** · 04-20-2008, 05:58 PM

I dont think he is bad, but he does some really weird things that i dont understand

JattDogg · 04-20-2008, 06:00 PM

he does weird things at the wrong time in what seems all the time.

Who here believes everything that's said in the media?

**fancylad** · 04-20-2008, 07:05 PM

Look. I'll agree that Smitch looks shitty right now, but...

If he is SOOOOOO bad, then why did Colangelo extend him?

...And don't say it was because he won coach of the year and BC was put in the position where he had to re-sign him because that's Bullshit. No good GM will make a move based on peer pressure. Bad ones might if they doubt their own "plan", but not good ones. Bryan worked VERY closely with Smitch last year to know what kind of a coach he was.... which was apparently good enough to sign a three (?) year extension. WTF?

I'm actually dissapointed in BC.

When T.J. made that comment, we were all standing around and were, quite frankly, stunned. It was inconceivable to us that it could be true and, sure enough, about a minute later, he admitted they had practiced with the “big lineup” for a couple of days. Bargnani had earlier said he knew Friday he’d start. So I’m not sure what T.J. was talking about, quite frankly. Maybe he misunderstood the question.

I just find this hilarious how we're criticizing the defending coach of the year award winner. I mean don't get me wrong I don't like him either it's just weird.

Acie · 04-21-2008, 07:45 AM

I find it funny people go so far out of their way to discredit him.

Clearly this is something thats been in the works for a a while seeing how Bargnani spent 90% of his time on the floor against Chicago with two other bigs.

Superjudge · 04-21-2008, 05:35 PM

I can see why he did it.

It's just sad to see Toronto come out and pull ANOTHER deer in the headlights routine.

It's sad.

fho · 04-21-2008, 09:51 PM

Give me a break. It doesn't matter. This ain't boyscout season.

I'm sure they've practiced with that lineup, and they've played with that lineup combination in the past. So, it shouldn't matter whether TJ was informed or not. Now, that he's got that starting PG role, does he need who's going to wipe his nose, too?

The team just didn't look prepared for anything, nor ready to compete, and were just missing their shots. So, regardless of whether the starting lineup was an expected one or one of surprise - the Raps just sucked in game 1.

Superjudge · 04-21-2008, 11:39 PM

I like your attitude.

Listen guys, it's simple. Show up, compete, and hits shots.

Toronto has shown, more often than not, that they are unprepared on MOST night to do just that.

So.

What ya see is what ya get.

2 home dates for the MLSE and done.
