What Point Guard Controversy?

After a slow start to the season — at least in relation to the lofty expectations surrounding him — Jose Calderon has found himself smack dab in the middle of a point guard controversy. One local beat writer hinted at the need for a change while message boards have been nothing short of ruthless.

What is up with all this talk swirling around about a point guard controversy in Toronto? Please, give it a rest. Calderon is firmly entrenched as Toronto’s starting point guard for the foreseeable future.

Rashad Mobley will be hosting an online chat at Comcast Sportsnet Washington during tonight’s Wizards/Pacers game starting at 7pm. I know it’s a Friday night, but I hope to “see” all of you there.

Toronto Delivers A Knockout Punch

After racing out to a 17-point lead midway through the game, Toronto allowed Detroit to scrap and claw back in the fourth quarter. What was once a sizeable lead turned into a one point advantage for Detroit at 91-90.

In years past the team would have faded and conceded a loss. Not these Raptors. They endured a punch in the gut from a feisty Detroit squad and responded with a thunderous knockout punch courtesy of a 20-8 run to close the game.

Raptors Need To Stick With The Plan

While the results from the past two games aren’t what the players, coaching staff or fans want, this isn’t the time to be hitting the panic button. There’s plenty of basketball to be played and now is the time to rally together instead of pointing fingers.

Dwight Howard Finds His Groove

Something clicked with Dwight Howard on Sunday during a game against Toronto. Instead of his coach gritting his teeth with each miss, Howard surprised everyone in the building by shooting an impressive 14-16 from the free throw line.

Foye Starting To Get Comfortable

Although its tough to draw conclusions after just three games, there definitely seems to be a trend in Foye’s game. He seems to have not only found that previously elusive balance between scoring and passing, but he’s reaped joyful benefits of sacrificing for a winning team.

Toronto Not Content After A Big Win

You would think Toronto would be in the mood to celebrate after a big win against Cleveland, right? Not a chance.

Despite pulling off an upset that is sure to catch the attention of the rest of the NBA, the players and coaching staff brushed off the win as the first of many during a grueling 82-game schedule.

Davis Needs To Choose His Path

Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals was supposed to be the turning point in Glen Davis’ career. When he hit that game winner, ran down the sideline and rejoiced triumphantly on Orlando’s home court, Davis no longer went by the name Big Baby, but simply Glen. It was a moment in the sun, a coming out party of sorts for a player who had officially gained the respect of both his coaches and veteran teammates.

Now, thanks to an unfortunate mistake, Davis faces a different kind of turning point. If it weren’t for the fact he’s about to begin just his third season, you might even call it a crossroads.

‘Sheed Fitting In Seamlessly

After averaging 15.0 points and 6.9 rebounds over 33.9 minutes per game, you’d think Rasheed Wallace would have signed with a team this summer that provided him with an opportunity to start.

Not Wallace, he’s just searching for a chance to win some more Championship bling and is more than happy to do that by providing a spark off the bench. Just call him the next Robert Horry.
