Would the Raptors role over tomorrow?

A funny, albiet unlikely scenario brought up by Bill Simmons.
There's a decent chance that the Raptors-Cavs game Wednesday night could
determine whether Vince and the Nets make the playoffs. Wouldn't it be funny if
the Raps totally rolled over and lost by some crazy score, like 123-40, just to
prove a point?)


Simmons has been bashing Vince Carter recently (as he should- Vince dogged it in Toronto and suddenly plays like a superstar in Jersey), and continues to bash him in Tuesday's blog entry:
Anyway, Vince Carter is going to get away with this. I can't believe I'm the
only person with a visible sports column who keeps bringing this up – the way
sports works now, we have all these "Who am I going to rip today?" writers out
there who jump at the chance to rip anyone and anything. Well, why not Vince
Carter? Who screwed over a larger group of fans more egregiously than he did?
Where's the outrage about this? The guy had 81 freaking points in two games last
weekend and the prevailing attitude seems to be, "Wow, it's great to have Vince
back!" I'm confused.
