Forget their win against Cleveland, where the hot-shooting Raptors caught a sleeping Cavaliers team and still managed to nearly lose a twenty-one point lead. On Friday night, Toronto headed into Memphis to face a depleted Memphis ball club which was missing Allen Iverson due to an injury They lost. The problem in Toronto is still largely the same as it has been for about three years in a row now. It starts at the top, where if we are to count Jose Calderon and Chris Bosh as the team's two best players, the Raptors are in some serious trouble. General Manager Bryan Colangelo's love affair with the vision of having those two remain a part of his core will keep this team in a cycle of mediocrity. With Jay Triano at the helm, the Raptors were expected to improve on last year's performance. However, even with a much improved coaching staff around him, Triano still looks clueless.
The offense lacks discipline, and despite boasting one of the most talented front-courts in the league, it also lacks any sort of creativity. On Wednesday night, Bosh played a lesser role in the offense, and this allowed the ball to move from side to side, and also allowed for Andrea Bargnani to score twenty-eight points in under thirty minutes. The result was a twenty point lead in the first half against a team most expect to contend for a championship. On Friday night, Andrea started out 0/5 and pretty much never got involved in the offense again. When he did get a chance to get involved with the ball in his hand, the Raptors took an eight point lead in the second half leading 88-80. Even in the win against Cleveland, we can see a less involved Andrea Bargnani in the third quarter melt-down as the team tried to force-feed Chris Bosh who had had a forgettable first half.
