He has looked like a new player, very motivated this year.

On the bright side, Casey had our team play decent defense!
And he did play Ed way more than normal, which gave us that crazy rebounding advantage!
But he went back to his usual tactics late in the game, and I hate that.
On a personal note, Rautins drove me right up the freaking wall today. I just can't stand this guy. And Devlin needs to stfu with his "No call!". It's becoming unbearable.
I'm going to put a positive spin on the night; we went to 2 overtimes with the Spurs DESPITE Bargnani trying his best to let us be blown out.
Defense was okay, not great. You also have to remember that they were playing a Western conference team at 1pm and at home. San Antonio was not going to be at its best.. they had an opportunity to win and gave it away.
Basically the motto of this season. Play good enough to just lose in the end. The bright side for me is that the more they lose the better chances that the team does not resign Colangelo.
Frustrating watching #7 in the interview. I know it's his demeanor, but he's just too ho-hum about everything.
A few ref calls down the stretch were really questionable too.
It makes it hard when Casey, Bargnani, Refs, Popovich, and 3 hall of famers are battling Valancuins Derozan and Ed davis for the victory.
lost 5 in 2OT? pretty damn good for Val Davis and Derozan.
I thought Italians were supposed be very passionate. I think he must be an adopted Swiss.
Bargnani just had the worst game in the NBA since Chris webber in 04
Leo is a piece of garbage. What ever a player does and doesn't work he says to do the opposite at that time and then praises them for it later.
Scenario 1: Andrea goes to the hope and gets called for a questionable offensive foul.
Leo: Andrea makes up his mind before hand and should have done a pull up jumper.
Scenario 2 (Right after): Andrea does a pull up jumper and misses.
Leo: Andrea needs to take that too the hoop and be more aggressive, less jumpers more free throws.
Tough loss!
My thoughts.

I will say this on Derozan, one of the things I hated about him before was that he would put up so few shots, sometimes disappear all together for 10 minute stretches. 28 shots is something I would like to see more often, it tells me he is aggressive. The FG% is nothing to brag about, but some nights kobes line looks no better.
