I think the game against the Nets and the whooping they got against the Nuggets last night sealed his fate. Everyone was saying in the Toronto area that Lawrence Frank out coached him that game. I guess management took notice. Maybe I'm mistaken but didn't this guy win coach of the year 2 seasons ago?
 
Yup, coach of the year. It's not because of him, it's cause the team is terrible. Bosh and Calderone surrounded by bums. TJ should have never been traded for Jermaine. And no one else on their team can take over or create their own shot.
 
Yeah that's a big mistake by Colangelo.

Sam was a good coach.
 
The Nets game killed us. I like Sam, but he is not a good coach I'm sorry this proves that you guys don't see enough raptor games.
 
True. I don't watch too many Raptor games, but I think you guys should try to get a consistent 2nd scorer behind Bosh instead of firing your coach. The team is flawed, not saying the Nets or other teams aren't either. But there are other things you should focus on fixing instead of the coach.

True as well, but he should've gotten more out of Kapono. I believe that BC is not done making moves.

hahahahahahahahaha and again
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
 
Really he was lucky enough to stick around to this point. He almost got fired two years ago didn't he?

Sounds like a job for Eddie Jordan. No better offense than the Princeton motion if you don't have a dominant second scorer. Although it could be tough to try and impliment during the season without a training camp.

Personally I hope it doesn't happen since they are in the Atlantic division.

Sam Mitchell to a T
 
isn't JO injured? Not having JO and the lack of a good wing who is both consistent offensively AND defensively is what's holding that team back. they need help at swingman and without that they won't be a good team because they appear to get smoked by star wings like Vince and Kobe.

That's because they are playing Bargnani at SF over Moon. What a stupid move. Would be a real kick in the head if Colangelo asked him to do that in order to prove he didn't waste a #1 pick. Then Colangelo fires him for losing.

Bargnani is a million times better than Moon. Moon can dunk. That's about it.

He's not a million times better... billion, like it's not close, and Bargnani is playing well this year, it's just match-up situations make it seems worse because of his height. Dude, truly, Graham is better then Moon. Graham just does not have it in the head.
 
Sam was shit, lets not lie. We need a defensive coach, and we need one now. I like Triano, but I don't know how many games we'll win with him.
 
I thought Mitchell was terrible in the brief time I watched all Raptor games with him as head coach (prior to VC trade). He might not seem so bad relatively speaking because the Raptors have continually had coaches that suck, for one or more reasons. But as a basketball mind and student of the game, he isn't in Frank's league. His whole value was in being a "tough guy" that players feared on some level and respected because of his history as a player.

Of course it was his terrible mismanagement of VC's role that greatly contributed to that trade, so I have to thank him for that.
 
Mitchell was and is a horrible coach. HORRIBLE. Frank owned him two years ago in the playoffs, owned him in the last game. His game decisions are dreadful, particularly in the clutch. How the guy lasted this long is beyond me.
 
fire frank and hire smitchell NOW. DO IT THRON!!! FIRE FRANKKKKKKKKK
 
Id rather have Frank any day over Mitchell. Their actually isn't many coaches I'd rather have then Frank...but then again I am a Frank supporter so what do I know.
