i think the problem with rafer is that hes up him self.he thinks every time he is subbed off it is an attack on him.he is the best guard at toronto by far.he should be playing close to a whole game every time.he usually plays 30 min a game.i think that why hes peeved.

did you know when a player signs a 10 day contract in the nba for a team, they get paid $8000 per game even if they ride the pine all game.
