Professional and COCKY as hell ... he gives off this aura of let me get in the gym with the guys rather than answer these questions over and over again.. can't blame him really as im sure he gets grlled with the same q's... but very articulate and well spoken... immediatly after the session.. i grabbed him and BC for a quick photoshoot and he's like. . 'maann.. i gotta go ' ... Brian's like SAM...just take a picture... he did.. hesitantly and took off.... BC and the SWIRSK hung around... but it did appear that Sam was in a rush as they said 10 gusy were upstairs as we spoke.. Ok .. as for the Q&A itself.. *Again.. sorry to say.. most raps season ticket holders are LOOOOOSERS .. who just sit there and look pretty and quite honestly dont know JACK about the raptors.. * I again threw out 3 of the 6 questions answered amongst over 20 ppl... *Begining the session (like last week) Chuck introduces the raptors video.. its about 3 mins covering last years highlights..im sure everyoens seen a bit of it on tv... but theres alot of footage.. great way to hype up the fans * starts off with BC talking about how he's impressed with the turnout..the raps are here on their own will... Sam simply suggested to them that they may want to show up early.. EVERYONE came but nesterovic....Again reiterated that this NEVER EVER happens... Q&A 1)i asked Sam about last yaers learning curve and what htey're doing different this year SAM: *we have veterans that know how to play and have experience *last year there were MANY times when CV and JG didn't know what they were doing and looked baffled...he said that is normal for rookies *Honed on when asking CV 'why he was at a certain spot' on defense he'd get a 'i dont know' reply .. which again he said is expected... but ppl need to realize that there is a learning curve for rookies *...'many times Charlie didn't even know what city we were in b/c of the back 2 back or 4 games in 5 nights schedules' ... - I m not sure if he kept mentioning charlie to condone the trade or just as a rookie example - he did mention jose and joey also but ref'd charlie more 2) Observing the palyers for about a week now... is/was there anything that caught u by surprise or that u didn't expect? SAM: *No...nothing really .. i know all the guys.. i coached TJ in milwaukee.. *BC CUT him off laffing and goes.. YES... they all showed up and are genuwinely excited to get started and acclimated with one another...it's a real refresher seeing these guys on the floor 3) Someone asked what is the backup plan considering if alot of the raptors play in the WC next year or qualifying tourneys and get injured.. we have no cap space.... (basically in ref to Pau Gasol being out till march and how memphis is screwed) *BC.. the raptors have hired the Grizzlies' trainer and he told them all the concerns with Pau prior to the WC *Brain said had he been in that situation he would have recommended Pau ( or his player) not to play *The trainer (now with the raps) is not surprised Pau got injured *BC mentioned its a risk to let them play but at the same time you have to do whats best for your team i.e Decision to NOT let Bargnani play in WC upset Italy...but it was the best decision for the raps and Andrea.. the guy was dead tired after playing all year, flying to the draft the day after winning the championship..then going to the summer league.. he's WELL rested.. gained weight and strenght and ready to go - Also.. if bosh didn't play.. this would be his first real action since early march when he got hurt... it was a GREAT experience for chris and kept him in shape.. bottom line .. CB4 NEEDED to play BALL - Benefit for Jose and Garbs - Nesterovic showed NEW LIFE in the WC... he is VERY HAPPY about coming here -agreed that injuries can occur and should be warranted but you always have to do whats best for the palyers/team 4) asked about Defense and the new guys learning plays -Both BC and SAm .. .European players know how to play D.. HELP Defense is their speciality -spoke about how Garbs held Nowitizki in the WC.. but did it with help defense - Garbs smart defender ...other Stupid irrelevant questions i can't remember.. OK.. NOW THE JUICE. . (sorry had to save this for the end like last time) SAM MITCHELL Highlights: (he spoke of these guys voluntarily) on Jose Calderon: - PRAISED jose calderon like no other... says Jose is ready to go and will be an integral part of this franchise - ALWAYS thinking of the team first ..wheterh he plays 5 minutes or 25... - EXTREMELY new attitude and confidence after rookie season and WC - Ready to accept responsibility on Joey Graham: -Extremely talented and skilled player..CAN easily be a STAR in this league.. YES .. he said STAR -unbelievable strenght and athleticism -struggled with the learning curve last year -has the ability to cover KOBE, VINCE, LEBRON, TMAC... -To the Fans: Expect BIG things from Joey this year on CB4 and Mo Pete: - Have emerged as leaders of the team - Mo petes game keeps getting better - CB4 is the only guarnateed starter - CB4 has grown so much over the past seasons..and has soo much more room to grow... On Bargs: - Wants Barganni to play center - believes he will create incredible match up problems for other teams - Can Dribble, Pass and Shoot - Plays the game with guard like skills - 7'1 with shoes - He will dicate his own playing time... 'Players decide who plays .. NOT ME' Brian Colangelo: TJ FORD TJ FORD TJ FORD!!! - the majority of the team has realized they are not in shape after playing with TJ - the guy is Lightning quick..possibly the FASTEST palyer they've seen - Pushes the ball immediately -Hard to keep up with him -Caught Fred Jones (who has bulked up) trying to catch his breath on the sidelines...admitting that he luvs the style and has to get used to all the running -Expect ENTERTAINING Basketball - Joey graham, fred jones always ahead of the pack when tj pushes the ball... - Chris and Rasho will complement each other GREAT - Rasho has played with TD and KG ... he knows how to win.. never been on a losing roster... played with Sam - Rasho has over 400 starts in his career - Projected to Start games..but may not finish them (a la Bargs) TJ FORD!!!! Heres MY FAVORITE PART .. this was mentioned TWICE by BC throughout the session.... QUESTION: u traded for an oft injured guard.. are u worried? BC: (licks his lips, smiles...) 'Yesterday.. Tj Ford.. in transition on the break.. leaped up and slammed home a 360 dunk' ... ' In a game situation... i believe that should tell you about how he's feeling' MORE TJ stuff... (excitedly speaking he mentioned...) *TJ has been throwing lobs to himself and dunking them * Off the backboard lobs and slamming them *For a 5'11 Guy to do that.. I believe his past injury is not an immediate concern.... we're looking at the positives forgot to mention.. the ENTIRE TEAM is EXCITED about the run n gun with TJ... BC mentioned in Milwaukee Tj was held down and restricted.. 'We're letting him looose here... he's excited about showing what he can do here ' metnioned briefly about having till oct 31 to extend his contract.. i get the feeling that will happen BC mentiioned Brandon Roy will be ROY ... mentioned his last name is R.O.Y ... dont know if that was just a corny joke or he was serious.. Chuck found that hilaroius.!!! LONG live the SWIRSK! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 70.24.238.8
