Vince Carter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Doctor]

If he continues to play like this, it will be a stepping stone to get back to his former elite status. He can still make the moves when he has to, and when he's healthy. I don't think it was the "dominating" victory that many have claimed it was. It was a good solid effort and they were able to pull it out when it mattered. Once everyone is comfortable in this system that Mitchell is running, we'll see everyone start to get a little more creative. Hopefully that doesn't mean bad, off-balance shots that they have no right taking, like it did in past years.

It's only three games..at least wait until Christmas to see whether things will stick.

Or at least until they play a road game...

Playing a road doesn't prove anything. I am with Doc, you need a good 15 or so games to get the pulse of a team.

One strong game out of three. Is that what we're paying all the $$ for? I agree with mojo that he has done a good job of being a MEMBER of the team and contributing his share. Besides the last shot, I didn't see him doing a lot. He had some of the same decision making that had the team last year standing around and watching. I was more impressed with him as a role player in the 1st two games. That being said, he is being payed to play well when the team is struggling and win games they should lose and he did that sunday.

The bench is great, now that last year's "starters" are coming off the bench. Great game plan by the coach.


Prediction: Carter doesn't win fan balloting for this years all-star. My guess is he'll be #5 With James #1 and Yao #2.

 

[Powershot]

He has played a well rounded game on both sides of the court and is not the highest paid Raptor, Jalen Rose is by quite a margin. I still say trade him though.

 

[The Bandit]

It just seems like MoPete doesn't give his all, sometimes it looks like he doesn't break a sweat.

You heard that on the FAN morning show today right?

 

[the_big_E]

road game does mean something...because this team will not be good on the road

 

[98Talon]

According to 82games.com 1/105 FG attempts by Carter were dunks. I wasonly ablr to catch the 3rd quarter of the Clipper game but all Carter was doing was chucking the ball from long distance or driving half way to the hoop then throwing up a soft floater.

At this rate by seasons end his jersey number will be greater than his number of dunks.

Raps win the Championship...he's still a punk

 

[the boy wonder]

Raps win the Championship...he's still a punk

[the_big_E]

SOLID 1-5 road trip

so much for that "quick" start

Latest trade rumour

VC and rose to portland for Sharif and van exel, both of whom are in the last year of their contracts.

I like it. It gives the raps 2 max free agent signings for next year.

 

[blitz]

NOT F$#%ING likely!!!

Very likely, punk yesterday, punk today, punk tomorrow, punk without a championship and he'd be a punk with a championship.

Punk.

Trade please, I wanna see a few Raps games this year.

 

[MojoRisin']

Very likely, punk yesterday, punk today, punk tomorrow, punk without a championship and he'd be a punk with a championship.
Punk.

AND Punk without headphones and Ipod...ahhh poor baby

 

[Tiger Williams]

Very likely, punk yesterday, punk today, punk tomorrow, punk without a championship and he'd be a punk with a championship.
Punk.

Truer words were never spoken.
He's pissed all over this city and his own teammates, and cost more than one coach his job.
Anybody that still supports this guy is an absolute IDIOT!

I think VC should definitely move on .... in a move that benefits both VC and the Raptors but also remember, without VC, we would be the same as the Vancouver Grizzlies (not the Grizzlies of last year) .... I think for that, he deserves at least a little respect.

OK, thanks Vince for winning a dunk contest and being over rated from that moment on! Goodbye and take yo' momma wit ya!

I've looked all over, thinking that I might have misplaced it, but I just can't find any respect for the guy.

VC didn't build the Raps, MLSE did. The Grizz died because there wasn't a significant enough market in Van to support the team. This has never been the case in Tdot, the team would have been a sales success with or without VC.

He's a commodity, a pork belly. He is not a hero or an idol. He is an athlete and like any pork belly future, will be moved, or not, for the betterment of the company.

Pork Belly futures do not require respect, they reqiure to be handled and moved with ambivalence, like any asset.
