Arriving in the visitors' locker room before Monday night's overtime loss in Boston, various Raptors found hand-written notes awaiting them in their stalls. The notes resembled recipe cards – as in, recipes for theoretical success.
The bullet-point messages were, according to players, a mix of encouragement and constructive criticism from the Jay Triano-led coaching staff. At least one Raptor, mind you, was puzzled by the origin of the scribblings.
"Who's doing this?" Jamario Moon, waving his card in the air, hollered across the room to teammate Anthony Parker.
"Who do you think?" said Anthony Parker, shaking his head in resignation. "You don't have to be CSI to figure it out."
Unperturbed by Parker's sarcasm, Moon, without the help of television's Crime Scene Investigation unit, eventually surmised that his note was penned by Alex English, the Raptors assistant coach.
"It sounds like Alex," he shrugged, going over the contents with a reporter. "I look at it as just reminders. `No reaching,' `Rebound.' ...
"I guess it's to keep (the coaches) from getting hoarse."
