Ha ha! I just knew somebody was gonna say that. My opinion is that a
coach's credentials are built over time, and a few playoff series
victories and the odd championship go a long way on a resume.

Actually, the quick exit can be laid squarely at the doors of Bosh,
Ford, Bosh, Mitchell, Bosh and Bosh.

Some of it may be Delfino, and we can't overlook Bosh. Also, Bosh.

Hyuk! I would take one Bosh over a boatload of Bargnanis.

Tell me: who is the "leader" of this team? Who should be scoring the
important buckets? When the team is settling for jumpers or floundering
offensively, who should be demanding the ball and trying to draw the
foul on a drive to the rim? Who should be pumping up team-mates and the
crowd?

What, of these things, has Bosh done this year at all, let alone in the
playoffs?

So you don't think Mike D'Antoni has credentials? A team that has
made the playoffs every year in the Western Conference with a +.600
winning percentage?

No wonder you don't like Bargnani.. you're a hard man to please.

Who is the leader of the San Antonio Spurs?

I never said that, I just said, "what's he won?" I actually like
D'antoni. Doesn't matter anyway, we are not changing coaches.

I don't want him. He's considered to be pretty weak when it comes to
defence, and that's the Raptor's worst attribute already.

I would say he has done them all. I will give you credit for taking an
unpopular position, but you're questioning Bosh's effort and the only
way I can respond to that is I don't agree. The effort is there. He's
not getting much help.

What I find frustrating, and this might be a little off-topic, is I
don't think people realize how much we're overachieving, both this
year and last. People say Sam Mitchell has got to go -- I think these
people just want to see us win and don't really understand why we're
not. These same people will find someone else to blame when we get a
new coach and still have the same result. Or they'll say it wasn't
the right coach, etc.

Check it out in terms of overachievers.. (a) for Raptors, (b) for
Orlando (c) for Detroit.

1. Who is a superstar player?
(a) Chris Bosh
(b) Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis
(c) None.

2. Who on our team would start on a contending team (ie a team like
Lakers, Pistons, Spurs, Hornets)?
(a) Bosh
(b) Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, Hedo Turkoglu
(c) Billups, Wallace, Prince, Hamilton

3. Who is the go-to guy?
(a) Apparently, no one.
(b) Turkoglu, Nelson, Howard
(c) Anyone

We're not changing coaches "at this time".

They have 3: Parker, Duncan and Manu. They are lucky enough to have 3
players who can drag the team by the scruff of the neck. Bosh has, on
numerous occasions in the last two seasons, FAILED miserably to do any
of the things he needs to do. ebrian, you know that I was on this wagon
last summer, and I'm still on it.

He also has no clue how to use a bench, which is our strength.
