You never criticize him, even when he's playing terribly like he did for about 2-3 weeks after the all-star break. And you never put the blame for the Raptors failure on him. That is, by definition, an apologist.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure if the Raptors had won 50 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-73358528859667140112010-04-06T08:25:27.677-04:002010-04-06T08:25:27.677-04:00Yeah, I know that we'll never get full value f...Yeah, I know that we'll never get full value for him.

Chris if there is one thing we all should have learned by now is a very bright young man and is not a guy that just thinks about ball and that is all.

They appear to have no sense of urgency at all, lack of desire to compete for 48 minutes is mind boggling. Now, when they need it the most (I am talking about all the games post All Star break) they seem to care the least.
