Such is the life and times on the court for the coach, who now has a team people are talking about, a team with something to defend, a team with a future.

And to make that future brighter, Mitchell is concentrating on the past and not letting anyone connected with the team get complacent. The first practice of the season was far more intense and, at two hours and 45 minutes, a lot longer than many expected; he didn't loosen the reins yesterday, either.

Onions, Baby

As long as he doesn't cause injuries or pre-mature fatigue, I'm all for this. The best NBA teams are the one's in the best shape.

Depending on injuries, and other things this could either benefit the Raptors this year, or hurt them. If they get out injury free this will allow them to challenge for homecourt advantage in the East.

I'm pretty sure professional athletes can handle a 3 hour practice.
