Listening to DeMarre Carroll wow this guy did a lot of traveling this summer ... Lets hope he is in shape ... He is getting paid quite a bit of coin ...
DeRozan and Lowry planning some kind of protest against police. Do they not realize they are at far greater risk of being killed by another black man than by police?

Why not celebrate that you play for a country that police aren't shooting black youths ..DeRozan and Lowry planning some kind of protest against police. Do they not realize they are at far greater risk of being killed by another black man than by police?

My suggestion is that they do their protest while playing in U.S. cities, not in Toronto. Lowry said he has two young sons. The odds are they are at much greater risk from another black man than from the police.Why not celebrate that you play for a country that police aren't shooting black youths ..
Team defense will suffer without Biyombo's shot blocking, but they will be a load to deal with on the block. Sullinger, Val, Poetl, and Siakam will be difficult to deal with on the glass.
I don't expect a better regular season than last year, but I expect them to win 48-52 games this year.

Wrong. Multi millionaires don't live in the hood. If they want to protest, more power to them. DeRozan is from Compton, so he knows what's up.My suggestion is that they do their protest while playing in U.S. cities, not in Toronto. Lowry said he has two young sons.

NWA said it best.
It's too bad DeRozan and Lowy decided to go political. It will be a distraction.Wrong. Multi millionaires don't live in the hood. If they want to protest, more power to them. DeRozan is from Compton, so he knows what's up.
BTW: Sons from good families can also end up dead.

How about instead of protesting take action .. Use your status to bring police and community together ... Stop being sheep ...Wrong. Multi millionaires don't live in the hood. If they want to protest, more power to them. DeRozan is from Compton, so he knows what's up.

that would make senseHow about instead of protesting take action .. Use your status to bring police and community together ... Stop being sheep ...
Always liked him too, if he can get medical clearance he sure could fill that 4 hole here, and he wouldn't cost a ton as the Heat owe him a boat load of money.Former Raptor Chris Bosh failed his medical. He might be done. Too bad, I always liked him.
i do think the Heat just want Bosh to go away and get his contract off the books ... What we have learned about the Heat this summer is team first ie it's a business ...Former Raptor Chris Bosh failed his medical. He might be done. Too bad, I always liked him.
IF he is done ... Is he getting into the HOF ?Former Raptor Chris Bosh failed his medical. He might be done. Too bad, I always liked him.
doubt it IMO he could help a team but not carry a teamIF he is done ... Is he getting into the HOF ?
