A little more this, a little more that

So, Sam's standing 20 feet away, sampling about a billion chocolate cakes. So far, he hasn't found the perfect one, nor has he shared them with us beat grunts, either.

And some of us are experts in the delights of chocolate cake.

The good folks are from Dufflet Pastries and Bakerstreet Classic Dessert bakeries and, let me tell you, their wares look yummy. (That'll be the last time I use 'yummy' I hope).

Now, onto the news, such that it is

Rasho, a new dad last Friday, did everything at practice today and looks good to go Wednesday. And Sam told us today that when he comes back, he'll go back in the starting lineup and Andrea goes back to coming off the bench.

The news wasn't as good for T.J. Ford, though.

He got some shots up but he's still doubtful for the Memphis game, which probably means another 50 minutes for Jose.

Sam also said the decision to go with Juan Dixon or Darrick Martin as the backup to Jose depends on matchups and what the Raptors need.

"Juan scores the ball better but Darrick runs the team a bit better," Mitchell told us.

Okay, that'll be all the news for the moment, Sam's on to another cake and we're going in searching for crumbs.

All these rotations , changements and roles confusion just put the spotlight on what , in my opinion, is Raptors' main problem : this team has no identity.

I was going to post a comment about Sam on a sugar high from all that cake, because common opinion has Martin as ball hog / chucker (but the same applies for Dixon.)

But then I looked at Martin's & Dixon's numbers since Ford went down. Martin has shot 2-8 with 4 assists, and Dixon was 1-8 with 2 assists, in about the same amount of minutes...

I guess when comparing the two, the term 'better' is very much a relative comparison. Do you think we'll see Delfino at the point at all? I think he would be a better option than either Dixon or Martin.
