RAPTORS ARE A JOKE

VC AND NETS ALL DAY

The reason VC was able to do that last night was the Raptors’ pathetic excuse for defense. They can’t guard players with average athleticism. It’s embarrassing watching Parker, Kapono, Moon, Calderon, etc. try to guard other players.

Until they get some perimeter players who can actually play defense, this problem won’t go away. Their lack of athleticism is painfully obvious.

Their bench is a joke too.

I think the rational raptor fans in toronto don’t hate vince anymore but they’re just sad because with the talent that he had (jumping, ball handling, shooting, dunking, passing, and just all around crazy athleticism) he should be up there with the kobes, pierces, mcgradys (who is also soft cuz hes injured ALL THE TIME, and wades as the best 2 guards in the league. Honestly that dude if he had worked out HARD in the offseasons would not have been injured as often and would’ve been stronger and had he really had some pride in his game he would get tougher and drive to the bucket more and develop more of a post up game that didnt end in a fadeaway would have been a top 5 player in NBA EASY… not as good as lebron but I think he could’ve been close…

I was watching the game and all I could think was… if only he had hit that 3 at the end of regulation gm 5 vs AI and the 76ers like he did tonight against us….

Ugly Fish has it spot on. Sadly most TO fans will never see the light and will continue booing the man into more game winners against their team.

Do any of us really try 100% at our jobs? Given that, how can we hate VC for 6 years of leaving it on the floor and 20 games of not trying. WE all tore him apart when he was injured saying crazy things like the Raptors are better without him when they won 12 of 14 in 2001-2002. VC is bitter because we were the ones who built him up and we are the ones who also cut him up. Fine, he lacks KG intensity and Kobe’s killer instinct but can’t we take him for who he is? We are all as much responsible for VC’s non-chalent laid back style of play as the man himself is.
When he was dunking on fools you criticized that he needed that outside shot. When the guy gets one; you tear him apart. The same thing can be said with Dwight Howard.
Instead of tearing a guy down appreciate the things he does do well.
to reiterate my previuous point; I think Raptors management has gotten off too easy in this whole VC hatred fiasco. They did not treat Vince as a franchise player after all he had done for them. They were already “going in a new direction” during 04-05 season. Posters of a 2nd year Bosh, Jalen Rose and Mo freaking Peterson as the advertising campaign.
The way Peddie and MLSE treated Vince has a lot to do with him quitting. In effect he felt Toronto did not deserve the REAL Vince Carter because of:
-crappy management and personnal
-weak supporting cast
-questionable transaction moves (Rafer Alston really???)
-and the writing on the wall that the keys to the franchise would be turned over to a 2nd year, unproven Chris Bosh.
-Media labelling him “soft” and a “prima donna”
-blaming him for the teams mifortunes and injuries beyond his control
Anyone wanting to question this man’s toughness; I saw him drop 43 points on ONE leg against the Rockets in 2002. He averaged 21,5 ,5 on ONE ankle last year. He didn’t try because he hates Toronto or he’s a non-competitive robot. The independent variable are the clowns who managed the Raptors at that time.

Post 22 has it right. Stop your booing, it’s been 4 damn years. If you’ve moved on, you won’t hate the guy. He sure tore you guys apart tonight though. I honestly don’t know how you can lose with a 7 point lead and the possession with 40 seconds left in the game.

It was beautiful to see the look on Raptor fans in the arena when Carter a) hit the game tying three and b) slammed home the game winner. Get over it, its been like 4 years. The opposite of love is not hate its apathy and Raptors fans still care about VC. If you didn’t then you wouldn’t boo so hard. And tell Jose to work on that defense, because it was non-existant tonight. Game of the year so far, and I’m glad to have been there with my VC jersey on.
