I think he should play but it does not seem to get through to him the way sam is doing it. players value PT the most, you take it away odds are they will smarten up..

I think each of thos 4 coaches (in conjunction with their GM's) would be using a 3-man Wing rotation of Parker-Moon-Graham on a consistent basis which would allow the Raptors to Rebound & Defend better on a possession-by-possession basis and, therefore, reduce this team's overall reliance on its perimeter shooting. As I've said already, elsewhere, fixing the problems with this team do not lie in playing either Jamario Moon or Jose Calderon fewer minutes ... but in using them for more minutes overall (with Bosh, Nesterovic, Humphries & Graham) and in different ways than they're be used right now. :-) <em>khandor's last blog post..<a href='http://khandorssportsblog.wordpress.com/2008/03/22/become-legendary/' rel="nofollow">Become Legendary</a></em> Actually, I don’t think Pop, Phil, Riles, Sloan, etc., would have yanked Moon, at all … I think each of thos 4 coaches (in conjunction with their GM’s) would be using a 3-man Wing rotation of Parker-Moon-Graham on a consistent basis which would allow the Raptors to Rebound & Defend better on a possession-by-possession basis and, therefore, reduce this team’s overall reliance on its perimeter shooting.

Against the Cavs you need a good buffer for when LBJ goes off. They did not have one... Moon needs to never take a long jumper again. Pop, Phil , Sloane etc would of yanked him. no worries, debate is always a good thing.

The game was decided when Moon missed the open 15' jumper he took with 1:05 remaing in the game. If Moon hits THAT shot then the Raptors still had a chance to win last night's game. On the road, vs a solid rebounding team, like Cleveland, with it being Bosh's 2nd game back from his knee injury, the Raptors did a good job with the way they played last night overall. The poste-game remarks/comments made by Sam Mitchell and the players were 100% accurate, last night. 2) Given Toronto's soft schedule the rest of the way ... the Raptors will probably finish in the 5th spot and play the Cavaliers in the 1st Round of the playoffs. Cleveland will advance ... and the Raptors will remain amongst 'the Pack' in the Eastern Conference. Enjoy your Easter Weekend!
