watch for the difference.

this was bargnani last year against the pacers:

what is the difference between last year what he will probably do tonight?

the ability to blow by his man.


I don't want to say I told you so, but the extra pounds and lack of conditioning has significantly effected his speed IMO.

this is him the other night against dallas:

the amount of tough low percentage shots he is taking is ridiculous. You can also notice how much fatter he is this video. when all you can do is shoot.......

... Or Multiple Calf Injuries...?

And did he put on weight over the off-season? He looks about the same to me.

Good find on that video though. I think its mostly confidence with Bargs.

I don't know. I think Bargs will come around. He's shown flashes. And when/if his shot hasn't been falling, he's been pretty active on the boards, and contributing in other areas. Teams still have to cover for him, so he still stretches the floor.

Bargs is a shooter.

He lives and Dies with his shot. Unfortunately his shot has been inconsistent

I don't see much difference in terms of weight. I don't what you're expecting of him or why this is a surprise, but he's never been able to consistently perform at a high level except that "13 games" anomaly.
