Have You Ever Had Deja Vu Mr.Colangelo?

Remember when we used to be better than the Bobcats? Wait didn't I just ask that in my last blog? Well this second loss to the Bobcats had an eerily familiar feeling. This losses have been so consecutive that Bryan Colangelo,Jay Triano and the whole Raptors organization think they're in the movie "Groundhog Day". Wouldn't be a bad remake of the movie if you ask me.

These back-to-back games against the same teams can show what a team is really made out of. A team can lose the first game by a large margin, but if you can beat the same team the second time then it shows how much determination and pardon my french (technically Spanish) , but cojones. This idea of having "come back" games is not something the Raptors didn't know about. Shall we take a trip down memory lane? Get the Delorean Doc. Brown.

Earlier this season....... We all remember how we got humiliated by the Knickerbockers 107-127 . Chandler, Lee and Harrington went full scene mode on the Raptors. Then the comeback came with a 111-100. The team was still playing for something back then.
07-08 season
Back-to-Back games with Washington. First an exciting overtime game which unfortunately ended up as a Raptors loss, 108-104. Even though Humps came out of the bench with 16 points it was not use because the Wizards had 4 players in double digits. The wizards having 4 players in double digits? Seems like a lifetime since that has happened.

THE COMEBACK. The difference between this team and the one that lost to the Bobcats is just how much the team wanted the win. The current Toronto Raptors were in a 24-44 record when playing the Bobcats in back to back while last years Raptors had a record of 24-21 when playing the Wizards. One team is tanking for a good draft pick while the other was trying to secure a playoff spot. Raptors had an amazing comeback in this game 112-83 and this year they lose it 102-89,

It doesn't matter how much talent you have, but if you're team is not in a winning state of mind then you will most likely lose.

Kille B's= Good. Rest of the team= Bench Burners Even though we two amazing perfomances by Bargs and Bosh it wasn't enough because the rest of the team was mediocre to say the least. Kapono,Voskhul, Graham,Banks and Parker are probably not coming back next year.

Is Ford Having Deja vu Too?
Apparently Ford is worried that the Indiana Pacers will choose back up point guard Jack Jarret over him next year. This situation might seem a little too familiar for Ford. This worrying exploded in the Pacers last game with Ford having an argument with Jarret in the third quarter.
From the Indy Star:
"The two starting arguing on the court and brought it to the huddle. Stephen Graham, Josh McRoberts and assistant coach Jay DeFruscio all went over to try and calm Jack down.....

It's unknown why the two were arguing, but I was told this had been "brewing" for some time between them.

The argument came after Ford was the only player to take a shot on three straight possessions."

Will Ford ever find a team in which he won't have to worry about a back up point guard taking over his job? Maybe Calderon has cursed him forever.

The Bad News Clippers
Next game is against the Laker's little unwanted brother, the LA Clippers. A team so sad that their only fan is Billy Crystal. A washed up team deserves a washed up actor. I expected more out of this team with the amount of talent they had, but with Kaman injured most of the season and Baron Davis not really showing any leadership it all went down south pretty quickly. If the Raptors don't win this game they don't even deserve to call themselves an NBA team. I take that back, they don't deserve to call themselves an NBA right now.
