Fire Bryan Colangelo: Forgiving Vincent Lamar Carter
http://firebc.blogspot.com/2014/11/forgiving-vincent-lamar-carter.html
This is the buck. Let's stop it here. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Forgiving Vincent Lamar Carter. This is a very short post about the Vince Carter tribute that just made him shed a few tears. His trade was poorly executed with equal parts blame to Rob Babcock's incompetence and to Vince for tipping that his career, at age 27, might have turned from Dominique Wilkins into Glenn Robinson.

Fire Bryan Colangelo: July 2014
http://firebc.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
This is the buck. Let's stop it here. Thursday, July 17, 2014. Q: Dear Doug,. In your last post you said the roster is full and we should all move on. Are you saying that this is pretty much the team the Raptors will be going into the preseason with? This is asked and answered, John V. I'm not sure why you're not encouraged but it's probably because you're a silly nincompoop. Is that what you are, John V? Are you a silly nincompoop? Q: Hey Doug,. Or Do you see a trade coming to address this? 2) Jordan Hi...

Fire Bryan Colangelo: October 2014
http://firebc.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
This is the buck. Let's stop it here. Saturday, October 18, 2014. Deep in the Heart of Toronto. Follow me @Ghost Raptors. Asked me if I had an opinion regarding Grantland wrote about the Raptors today. It was baiting, to be clear, because of course. I would have an opinion on a trivially rhetorical question about wing depth even though the author summarizes his argument as "not even really a problem. I suppose we should respect the click bait of "too deep? On the other hand, teams lauded for depth, like ...

Fire Bryan Colangelo: February 2015
http://firebc.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
This is the buck. Let's stop it here. Sunday, February 22, 2015. What to like about the Sixers. Some thoughts about the Sixers' extreme tank strategy post-trade deadline:. Seemingly, MCW and KJMcD were two fourths of the players Philadelphia would want to 'build around' along with standout defender Nerlins Noel, and the injured centre, Joel Embid. If the Sixers were building a path back towards respectability, these four players appeared to be the cornerstones. So, then: why hit reset? From half a rookie...

Fire Bryan Colangelo: December 2013
http://firebc.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
This is the buck. Let's stop it here. Sunday, December 8, 2013. Rudolph, the vision-impaired millionaire. Sources, those indelibly prolific chatterboxes, are confirming. Rudy Gay along with Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray are heading to Sacramento in exchange for Greivis Vasquez, John Salmons, Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes. This marks Masai Ujiri's second ejection of highly touted (and controversial) Bryan Colangelo projects, after upselling the New York Knicks on Andrea Bargnani in the summer. Team and to...

Fire Bryan Colangelo: March 2014
http://firebc.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
This is the buck. Let's stop it here. Monday, March 3, 2014. Don't be angry at Bryan Colangelo for tanking - he couldn't even if he tried. So, Bryan Colangelo, the namesake of this past-its-best-before-date screed factory, admitted to tanking. The shit out of this charged defence. Of BC and doing the right thing but using the wrong word. Perhaps the most telling part of the Bryan Colangelo story that surfaced Friday was how people have glommed on to one word. Is the word "shitty? It is the hot-button iss...

This is the buck. Let's stop it here. Tuesday, July 2, 2013. Did you soak your undies yet? In a few short fortnights, the Toronto basketball club dismissed, first, the architect of ineptitude and namesake of this journal, then followed it up by packing the 7' lightning rod of pasta into a pot and boiling him el dente until he's served up again in midtown Manhattan. This is not your grandpa's dinosaur-themed NBA team. While berating some blowhard writer (just kidding, Bill. It's been said a few times this...

Fire Bryan Colangelo: Grunt Bag #3
http://firebc.blogspot.com/2014/07/grunt-bag-3.html
This is the buck. Let's stop it here. Thursday, July 17, 2014. Hope you have a good trip to Liverpool. A lot was mentioned after the Nets series of areas different players had to work on this summer to get better. Have you had any feedback from the organization as to how that is shaping up? Also, after the all the moves made during the draft, free agent period and the trades to date; how do you see the Raptors roster shaping up? Q: Hey Douglas,. Hope that you're enjoying the summer. With the re-signing o...

Fire Bryan Colangelo: May 2013
http://firebc.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
This is the buck. Let's stop it here. Wednesday, May 22, 2013. It happened, finally. But with typically opaque anti-logic, Bryan Colangelo is jettisoned from the war room to the bridge room to join Wayne Embry in the "I hang around and collect pay cheques" golden years. Why? Apparently, to not upset daddy. The title of this blog is not "Reassign BC." Alas. Let's not dwell on the half-measures as we acknowledge Step #1 in the Post-BC era. I can't wait for the playoffs (Step #1,291 in 2016).
