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."

Jamario was a top 25 prospect coming out of High School.
He went to Community College.
That's all that needs to be said.

I didn't need this blurb to tell me that he was up there. Dumb is a bit harsh, but he doesn't exactly exude student of the game type qualities with his repeated mistakes and lack of focus on areas which he should be focusing on to improve.

Wasn't there a report last year that Moon doesn't even read scouting reports. That's beyond dumb

I'd assume he meant which coach when he was asking who had written the notes...

A-l-a-b-a-m-a's finest
Seriously, Moon does not come across as the brightest bulb. Thank god for his athletic talent. I hope he has the right financial advisor to cover his post NBA life because he is not getting another lucrative job
