I'm from Toronto so I heard it all day on the radio and have been for a week now.

Carter has been at team practice with ear phones on and just playing by himself listening to music. He is not being social at team practice and just practicing the job shots and not much else.

Today the league (with the help of the raptor coaching staff i guess) have banned Carter from going to practice with ear phones as it is against the NBA dress attire. Carter is not too happy on how things are going on. While he did seem excited the first few games he seems to have dawned his attitude again putting his towel on his head like the whole weight of the world is on his shoulders. Basically Carter doesn't give much of a damn and should be seeing less minute at game time and possibly worse. Raptors can't trade this guy cause he is not respected much anywhere even though he is still a good player.

Good time to fade the Raptors or avoid them! Just thought I would let you hear it from the local side of things.

CIAO and GL boys!

Carter is as good as he wants to be but he has no heart so he does not want to take the pounding. He should join Sprewell and they could start an I have not heart club.

I cannot stand watching him play because he rarely shows up and I would NEVER bet on him. The only good play on the Raptors is an under in specific situations.

Sorry for going-off on your thread.

Hey Bill.. NO PROBLEM. If this becomes a slam Vince Carter thread then it all good :)

Carter is just a wimp. He always fall down hard like a soccer player and complains and cries and complains blah blah.. all garbage. Play BALL man.. you get paid, do your damn job.

Basically in the NBA there are a few like that.. but thats why they aren't as good as they can be. Carter will be held down till he changes the attitude. I don't understand why his wife, mother or agent don't explain that to him. Fans in Toronto still do like him (basically cause he is all we have) but are growing sick of the crap they hear with the media..

VINCE.. grow up! Play ball, earn the respect then the Raptors will trade you in a minute! If of course you can get more than a basket of balls.

Him and Rose stunk up the game against Seattle. I think the coach sat both of them for long stretches of the second half. They should have won SU.

I think the rest of the team is getting better despite whatever Carter thinks. Got some guys really stepping up.

IO you are right,they have some guys that try hard and it is crappy that the most talented person on that team consistently goves about 70% effort 90% of the time.

I just hate to see talent wasted and he is very talented but hos NO HEART!
