That's me » he did have the same line combinations practicing

With the trade of Rudy Gay, GM Masai Ujiri made it clear that he intended to take the team in a different direction than his predecessor, Bryan Colangelo. Air Max 270 Bowfin Canada . To break down the impact of the deal, head coach Dwane Casey joined TSN 1050, saying it gives the team more certainty cap-wise moving forward and will allow the team to implement a different a more team-friendly on-court style which the coaching staff favours. “The decision gives us certainty for the future, gives you cap flexibility, certainty. You know whats going to happen,” Casey said. “You take that uncertainty away, which you need when youre rebuilding a program.” Moving forward without the prospect of Gays $19.3 million player option for 2014 hanging over them, Casey also mentioned the move allows his team to move away from more of an isolation game into a pick-and-roll and ball movement focused squad. Addressing the question of tanking, Casey said if he were to partake in that it would lead to “a loss of credibility” among the players. He added that adopting that strategy was also not a good idea because it would create a “losing mentality” around the team and hinder the development of players like Terrence Ross and Demar DeRozan.

In this space, I will be writing new and unique pieces about the team that you wont be able to find anywhere else.

Therrien would not confirm his lineup for the game, but he did have the same line combinations practicing together for the third straight day which is usually a pretty good indication of what the lineup will be.FIVE QUICK HOOPS THOUGHTS 1. RAPTORS OFFENCE: Spoke on Monday about the need for better ball and player movement. Entering Wednesdays game here in Memphis the Raptors are last (30th) in the NBA in assists. On top of that the types of shots theyre getting has to improve. They sit 26th in the League in field goal percentage and 21st in three-point percentage so the efficiency is an issue. Dwane Casey and his staff are constantly hammering the points home that need to be made yet progress has been slow so far. Somehow and someway this component of their team needs growth/development. Really curious to see how this team responds to the challenge Coach Casey has put to them. After the game in Memphis, six of the next seven games are at home. They will have a better schedule and more practice time. By the end of that stretch, theyll have had more than ample time to fix the issues. Then well know what true level this team can play at. 2. COLLEGE HOOPS: Caught a little of Julian Randle (Kentucky) and a good chunk of the Duke (Jabari Parker) vs. Kansas (Andrew Wiggins) game. Great energy in these early season games. All three guys showed me flashes of significant ability and potential. In NBA cities where the possibility exists for a high draft pick in 2014, something tells me that TV ratings for games this wonderful draft class plays in will be higher than normal. Should be a fun season to watch and see the progression of an exciting group. 3. ED DAVIS (Grizzlies): Entering Wednesddays game in Memphis, hes been limited in his role (11. Nike Air Max Flair Canada. .6 minutes per game) and his numbers (3 ppg + 3 rpg) reflect that. Considering they didnt lock him up contractually long term its pretty evident that his current employer is in a wait and see mode with him. He plays behind some talented bigs and the opportunities arent as plentiful as in other situations. Stay with it. As frustrated as Im sure he is he has to be ready every night and sooner or later will get his break. That break could potentially be with another team down the road. Jury is still out on his true ceiling as a player. 4. TREVOR ARIZA (Wizards): When I think about the development of young guards John Wall and Bradley Beal its important to have an older player who is efficient and steady. He shoots threes and plays hard. His ability to be pretty consistent and keeping the floor spread will allow his younger teammates time to develop. 5. TYLER HANSBROUGH (Raptors): Hes been exactly what I expected as the Raps third big man. He plays all out all the time and is someone you can count on every night to give you all the effort plays. Hes a terror on the offensive glass and smartly only takes shots (56 per cent) he can make. Does a terrific job drawing fouls and for a big man hes an exceptional free throw shooter (84 per cent) which is rare. He is what he is, yet I like that - you always know what youre getting vs. the roller-coaster ride that you get with other players. ' ' '
