Re: T.J. Ford's Importance
The team needs TJ, he is the only Raptor who can create his own shot whenever he wants...and its blatently obvious that there is no backup PG behind either of them...right now...the moment Martin or Dixon takes the point...the Raps start losing and its a slippery slope until Calderon gets back in.
The prob with the Raps as I see it is that our starters are just average...however...our bench is just as good as the starters...that's how we won games last year, and its how we won games earlier this year. Basically the starters are just good enough to hang with most teams, sometimes they get a lead, sometimes they get behind...but once both teams go to the benches our bench is just as good as our starters (with TJ and Jose at point)...meaning there is no dropoff in production and we are able to comeback or build up a lead on the other teams scrubs. Thats how we win games...purely on depth...but that depth relies on having a solid PG off the bench...which leads me to the next point....GET RID OF DERRICK MARTIN...we need someone out there that can at least defend scrubs
