-Insert clever way of saying hi here-


Recommended Posts

Hey Basketball fans, please ignore the cheesey title. I've just recently registered thanks to the invite by Built Ford Tough and from what I've seen in this forum so far, expect to be sticking around. :glasses:

 

A little bit about myself; I live in Toronto and currently 17. I hope to go to Ryerson for Nursing after this year. I'm a die hard Raptors fan and will remain one forever. I love Basketball , I play it every chance I get, especially in the summer. I can hoop a 'bit' ;)

I love to analyze and discuss everything NBA and especially the Raptors. I love players who are humble and hard working. I'm usually an optimist when it comes to the Raptors future but I'm not an idiot. my favorite basketball player of all time is probably Kobe just due to his intelligence on the floor , all those amazing moves (most of which don't solely require athleticism) and his amazing clutch shot.

 

I just posted this on another thread so I'll re-post it again here, it's my generalized thoughts on the Raptors:

 

- New developing attitude/culture under Dwayne Casey

- Bargnani coming into his own as a consistent score (at least for the first 3 Q's)

- Derozan, being inconsistent right now but we know what he can do offensively, hopefully will round out and find his niche in Casey's new defensive system

- Calderon playing some of his best basketball right now, hoping it will continue? (Possible J Kidd V2?)

- Amir Johnson is a great role player and has amazing chemistry with Jose. He dosn't try to do to much and does his role nicely.

- Ed Davis. He NEEDS to develop an offensive game, that same left handed hook shot doesn't cut it for me.

- Bayless, we have seen the past 2 games with him out how much his offensive punch means to us. We can still hope that he can take on some of Calderons passing/play making ability.

- James Johnson, We've already seen some amazing blocks from this guy. He is a hard worker. Obviously needs to work on his decision making and shot on the offensive end. Luckily for us he's young.

- Jonas V, this guy has alot of potential, as of now probably just as much as Derozan. Our possible starting C.

- If we choose to tank for the rest of the year (which i think we should do If we can't manage a 6th seed) I can see us getting somewhere around the 5th pick again in a DEEP draft. And with our success in picking up good players with low picks I'll trust BC to get us a good if not great player (SF or PG).

 

Anyways I hope to stick around for as long as possible. I see good things in this forum already. Ciao. (im not Italian)

Awesome first post. Welcome to the site! Hope you stick around.

 

Nursing? I was giving that some strong consideration (often called the "murse" by my friends in reference to Scrubs) before I decided on pharmacy. Can't deal with some of the disgusting stuff you'll have to end up doing, still a great career choice though.
