I'm trying to locate an old commercial that used to run on RaptorsTV.

Bosh and Bargnani are sitting on a bench, with Bosh asking Bargnani what he should call Marco Belinelli. Bargnani suggests...

Never said anyone was hating. A common theme on these boards is that JJ is a solid bench player at best, which is far from the truth considering his elite defense and versatility.

It's infuriating how much this forum underrates James Johnson.

He was allowed to play with complete freedom with the Raptors and yet he played within himself the majority of the time. Didn't get...

We didn't have a healthy Kleiza. Don't forget about him. I'm convinced that he's a lot better than we saw. Think pre-season.

I'm not suggesting that reporters should suck up to players nor should they seek to massage what you say is an 'insecurity.'

We look for stories. We ask questions that prompt intriguing responses....

I wasn't aware that Triano, Saunders, and Rambis were, as you so eloquently put it, "lame duck coaches."

Triano and Rambis have never had a truly good team, and Saunders has a career winning...

You're allowed up to two steps upon gaining possession of the ball, so long as you were already moving. That's why when players cut, they often do not dribble but take two steps, and why players...

As a journalism student, I disagree. Athletes from all sports have had issues in different places simply because of a difference in culture from what they're used to. It's an important question, and...

Huge progress. Vastly improved in nearly every area. Still has a long way to go. Nowhere near the player he can become if he dedicates himself to his craft.

He'll continue to make mistakes and...

Raptors fans need to STOP with this unwarranted Wright love. Talk to any Hornets fan; this is standard fare for Wright. He's lazy, unmotivated, incredibly inconsistent and doesn't love basketball. He...

And Bargnani's 0.33 spg is nothing short of amazing compared to DeRozan's 1.19 spg.

For the record, Bargs is averaging 0.28 blocks per game since February 1st.

DeRozan is averaging 0.33 during that same stretch.

Just saying.

Well, he was drafted as a small forward back when he was 6'9" coming out of high school.

That said, I agree with what was stated above: just because 3 players are on the court at the same time...

Agreed. UNLESS you play him on Xbox Live. Then he's a serious potty mouth. :cool:

I typically agree with most of your points, Apollo. This, however, I do not.

Jose is such a huge asset to this team's success this year. Both DeRozan and Bargnani touched on it in practice...

You'd think that OKC is trying to move Jeff out for Ibaka. Seems that way.

That said, his value isn't THAT high.

Why trade for him again? RFA this offseason.

Inexperience (both players and coaches), lack of commitment to defense (both players and coaches), and confidence.

I've been one of the few that have noticed the improvements since game one this year. Now I'm laughing at the people who said he's the same scrub player. Ha!

Don't get me wrong, his per 36 numbers...

The growth has been very noticeable.

Last year, DeMar had two moves. Spot up/one dribble j, or straight drive.

This year, better jumper, MUCH better handle, more dribble moves, much better at...

I agreed with everything except this. Barbosa's too small. He'd be abused by starting shooting guards, worse than DeRozan is.

Agreed. I'll take Linas spotting up and posting up any day over Weems forcing offense. DeRozan looked good too. Some great passes, surprisingly.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *cough* Buddah *cough*

I've been saying this for a while. In terms of man to man d, Bargs is head and shoulders better than both Amir and Davis.

Help d? No contest the other way around.

Unless Oden's signing a 1 year, <2 mil deal, no.

Do you know WHY he gets injured? The details came to light a few months ago.

One of his knees is a full inch and a half higher than the other.

I hate this board at times. We need Bargs at this point, even if he is a defensive liability.
