So, I guess I can't sit back and relax basking in sports glory, because Canada's only basketball team is playing like s, AGAIN!!! David Stern please bring a second franchise back to Canada. Anyway, I can't help but feel ripped off and disheartened at how they sold me all this hype, and they've failed to deliver. That being said, we're bringing back the GBN(the G doesn't really deserve to be there, anymore...). So, let's get it started on the good shall we. The GoodAlright, so I expect the Raptors to be playing better basketball when Reggie Evans returns. The good part about that is we're lucky he's not out for the season, and he'll make his return in the next week or so.And... no wait, that's pretty much it for the good. The BadDid anyone expect an entire meltdown at the beginning of the season Well, who cares whether ya did or didn't, because it has happened. Almost everything that could go wrong has Hey Antoine, I thought you could play defense. 
"Well quite frankly, so did I." WELL, THEN PICK IT THE F UP!Geez, the only bright spots are DeMar DeRozan and Amir Johnson. Guys like Bargnani and Belinelli who looked really good at the beginning of the season have suddenly just decided to space out on the court. What the hell is going on The NeededThey need someone who can guard a guard, and someone who can play good defense. I don't think Reggie Evans can do it on his own, nor can he guard a guard. What do I suggestThanks for asking. A name comes to mind who's been doing good recently and is looking for a trade That is Golden State's Monta Ellis He can guard a guard and score you points. I think a 45 point game while fouling out has proven that.Another one that comes to mind is maybe a bit riskier, but Rafer Alston.

He's a decent defender.Seriously though, they need to shake up the lineup somehow, or else this is going to be a bad season.. When I heard “Mangino resigned” on Thursday, my heart leapt for a second.Then reality set in. Mark Mangino resigned, as head coach at the University of Kansas. Eric Mangini remained, defiant as ever, with his heels dug in as coach of the Browns.And so the 2009 season drones on in Cleveland.
As Steve Harvey so eloquently phrased it in his latest Bottom Ten column, their next loss is at home this Sunday against San Diego.I can almost see it now. Mangini, arms crossed, staring blankly onto the field as his running game goes nowhere. Mangini, eyes glazed over, waiting until that magical second-half moment when the clock reads 0:00 and he can retreat to the solitude of his Browns Stadium office.Given Mangini's track record in New York, I wasn’t thrilled when Randy Lerner remember him signed him during the off-season. Maybe he still believes it, but, if so, at least he’s keeping it to himself.Where Mangini lost me, once and for all, was after the Detroit debacle. You remember, the game where his team led, 24-3, after one quarter The one the other guys won after Cleveland's puzzling clock mismanagement, lousy defense and a stupid penalty set them up for a final, untimed play that resulted in a touchdownFresh from overseeing that miserable meltdown, Mangini chose to begin his press conference the next day by focusing on two things: Questioning the penalty call on the Hail Mary pass that gave the Lions one last shot; and complaining that Detroit players may have faked injuries to slow down the Browns’ no-huddle offense.First of all, Hank Poteat interfered with Bryant Johnson on the last play of regulation time. You don’t block a guy into the seats and expect the refs to look the other way.And second, if I’m Mangini, I’d be more concerned about the Browns' no-offense huddles than I would their no-huddle offense. In fact, using the term “offense” to describe what Cleveland does with the ball should only be done in the negative context, as in “an insult.”The Browns were their own worst enemy that day against Detroit, as they have been all season long They lost the game Nobody stole it from them.
