TorontoSun.com - Basketball - Euro invasion wearing thin
The players are starting to look weary and Raptors coach Sam Mitchell is getting grumpier by the day, although, being the good solider that he is, insists he has no regrets about coming to Europe, nor does he wish he and his team were heading home after tonight’s game against local pro side Roma Lottomatica, instead of jetting off to Madrid for four more days.

While his words say one thing, his demeanor suggests something completely different. He lashed out at a Toronto reporter (in his unique, semi-serious way) when asked yesterday if he secretly wished the team’s Europe Live 2007 was coming to an end.

“I know why you asked me that, and it’s low-down and devious and underhanded, because you wanted me to say: ‘Yeah’, so you can write: ‘Mitchell’s tired of the trip,’” he said.
