Casey: "Jose has earned the starting spot" :imout:

Calderon led them to a 5 game winning streak playing out of his mind while kyle is chucking playing hero ball dude sucks

part of me wonders how many of you actually watch Raptors basketball then just look at the statistics. calderon over the last couple years has been on 11 and 9 guy with minimal turnovers.

he is truthfully the definition of a team player. you people are saying that we brought in people to replace him and what happens everytime calderon out lasts his replacement.

this offseason teams like lakers were looking at jose. why? because he does everything well. he is a little weak defensivly but makes up for it by taking only smart shots. holding onto the ball.

i think jose is capable of 20 a night but the guy only takes like 8
shots a game

[pic] accuses people of looking only at the boxscore - and then uses the boxscore to make an invalid point.

Casual basketball fans don't understand that although Calderon may get[..]ists, the way he runs the offense is frustrating. He turns everybody into jump shooters and over dribbles the basketball while looking to make the 3 foot pa#s so he can nurse his stupid[..]ist to turnover ratio. He doesn't take "smart shots," he takes the ones he knows he can hit so he can nurse his shooting percentage. Look at what he did last game against San Antonio.. He had the ball in transition and what does he do? He drives it in and kicks it out to Amir for a 20 foot jumper - in !!en transition - just because its the "safe play" that won't hurt his stupid stats. But of course that type of !! flies over the head of raptor fans.

You say people want him right? [pic] then why has he been on the trading block for so long? Why is it that he was gonna get traded to !!en Charlotte of all places and the deal went dead at the last minute cuz Charlotte backed out? And then the player Charlotte was gonna give us was traded to Dallas for !!en diop!?! Calderon ain't !! and the league knows it. The lakers just took a look cuz they were desperate for a pg when Nash was out.

Calderon ain't a "a little weak" defensively - he's VERY weak defensively. And the only reason he's surviving here so long is because he's white. Yeah I !!en said it. And stop listening to those clowns Matt devlin and Leo rautins so much. Be your own man for chrissakes:

look at lowry lock vasquez down. look at how fluid the offense is with lowry running it. look how many freethrows we're getting since lowry entered the game. [pic]


calderon is a piece of !! that needs to get the hell out of toronto.

you do know they are playing the hornets [pic] and vasquez is[..] on D and keeps falling for screens..

pretty sure calderon would of got 3[..]ists and 4 points too you hater [pic]

jose is underrated

All them pg's you listed sucked though..... none of them went on after TOR and beasted .... funny you bring up james, he is famous for playing harder in contract years... granted he mainly only got 1 year contracts.... ford and alston both were trash

Has lowry even won a playoff game yet? I like cats game, but he gets hurt a lot... And this isn't the first time, he lost his job for whatever reason... best !! to do, is raise calderons stock and get what u can in a trade... .the feeling sorry for lowry angle, not buying so much... like I said, u can play both of them at the same time anyway.. lowry can play the 2

It really doesn't matter if u think the dudes i named sucked or not. It's about a history here. Toronto brought in guys to play the point specifically due to jose not be able. All them dudes played well for the raptors... to the point where if they could have stayed healthy, the starting pg job was there's. They couldn't stay healthy and jose came in and played decent for a stretch leading the coach to think jose could handle the job full time. Which, he always proves he can't.

My point (no pun), is that how many times are they gonna let this guy fool them? We've been through this song and dance at least 3 times now... at least!
