A regression for the Raptors?

After reading so much about the Raptors' pre-season games, only because I do not have RaptorsTV, I have come to the conclusion that we will take a step back this year. It sounds as though our Achilles heel is once again the small forward position. We might even have to resort to starting Joey Graham at the position. Jamario Moon has been totally underwhelming from what I gather, and that spells trouble for the Raps.
This is bad, so bad. I expected a semi-breakout year from Jamario, but this seems to not be the case. Maybe the solution is starting Bargs at the 3, but that seems really lame.
I once thought a 50 win season was in the bag, and a 4 seed. Now, I think we will finish with 44 wins and a 6 seed, and have to play Philly or Cleveland instead of a team like Washington in the first round. Anything less than a second round appearance is a failure, and major changes would have to come in 2009-10.
Fuck Joey Graham.

So that's a vote for Bad Joey then.

Good Joey, Bad Joey, stick 'em both in the trade machine and see if we can acquire one of those new/old composite balls from last year.
