This is not a hater talking, i live in Canada, i can't help but love the raptors. But Morris Peterson is a profeshional Basketball player, and his performance on the road is just an abomination. How on earth can you be a profeshional Basketball player and do so poorly on the road. How!? It frusterates me so much, elementary school kids do poorly on the road, yes NBA players dont do as well on the road, but to the extent of Morris Peterson, that is just an insult. I dont know what needs to be done, but Morris Peterson really has to grow up and start playing Basketball on the road like a profeshional, or else he will continue to be a pathetic. It is honestly disgusting.

Welcome to the board Travis76!
Good question.

This is something that has bothered me for quite awhile now, and I really don't have any explanation for it.
He's made some big strides this year though nontheless, he's usually not that same player that just stays in the pocket and takes jump shots like he was in the last couple of years.
It's nice to see him actually driving into the lane and all that.
I guess maybe having one or two bad road performances took its toll on him, and started affecting his confidence.
Hopefully he will be a better performer on the road for us next season.

I'm still wondering why I created the MoPete fan club...

 

[Kneejoh]

he reminds me of chris mihm- as in the fact that i don't see his play on the road

[speedythief]

Should Sam start Eric on the road instead of Mo? I thought about that, but it would crush Mo's confidence. This is something he has to overcome on his own.

 

[Numbed One]

Hey, I'm still proud to be a part of that fan club.

I like Mo... I don't get him either though. He tries, man, he tries. I can't hate a guy who lays it on the line.

professional.

Cuz He Kills It At Home.. And On The Road, He Stinks!

heh...I think that was it....

MoPete is kinda slumping in home now....
I think becuase all those commercials he has been doing...

He's done like 2 commercials. That could've done the trick.

Thats why Sam Mitchell should use two different set of starting line ups. One for Home court, and one on for the Road. Have mo pete come off the bench on the road and make like Eric Williams or some1 else start.

When I think of Mo Pete's game I think inconsistency. I don't think it will ever change. He just doesn't have what it takes mentally to play a 82 game schedule. It's frustrating to watch because you know he has the skill. Hopefully one day it changes, but I doubt it.

 

[fruitcake]

he's only good when the toronto fans motivate him to...he's getting better though, instead of taking all those 3s, he's driving a lot more. I think next year, we will see a more consistent mopete

i got off that wagon looooooong ago. right now all i expect from mo pete are some defensive consistency.

 

[bigbabyjesus]

What Mo needs to do, is to try and model his game after a guy like Bruce Bowen. Lose some more pounds, get more cut, and he will be a great defender.

Instead, he tries to be the star of the team sometimes, and forces his offense big time. As for on the road, well thats what happens when you just stand behind the three point line.

 

[BBB]

It's disappointing to see such inconsistency, from a guy who clearly has the talent to do well on a consistant basis. And I doubt things will change drastically in the future.

it's the herpies, they flare up on the road.
