"Hello, Hello !.....You Play to Win the GAME!!"

Consistency is an issue and he did have a bad game on defense but you can't blame the low scoring on him. He did shoot 50% from the field. Its on Jay and the ball handlers to see that he gets his looks. He's the type of player where his offense fuels his overall game. Some of his best defensive nights have come on nights where he's been lights out and was being fed the ball. How does a guy, who's a key piece to the offense, play 40 minutes, shoot 50% from the field and only get ten shots? That's on Jay and the guards.
I think Bargnani is going to have his ups and downs through his career, he's just one of those guys. It doesn't mean he can't help a team win a ring, he just can't be the #1.Last edited by Apollo; Mon Mar 8, 2010, 06:40 PM.

"Not sure how you can question his passion for the game when all he wants to do year round is play ball. If he's not here, he's playing for his national team. I don't see anyone question Tim Duncan's cold exterior. Not everyone wears their heart on their sleeve. Consistency is an issue but that's got nothing to do with heart. "
I believe by writing "there is a problem of some sort...", I was suggesting I was unsure about the reason/s for his incontistency (as you put it). I would just say that he has a problem getting his nose dirty as is required to maintain an inside presence in the nba game. This was manifested when with CB absent it was incumbent on other big starters to bring it in all manner of ways. Do you honestly think he changed his game to be more assertive in any way?
"Passion" has got nothing necessarily to do with going to work at one's job. Metaphorically, If one has to dig a ditch everyday as a job, it doesnt flow that you do it well or with enthusiasm. Like I said, imo, there is something missing (intensity is how I would describe "passion") on the court with Bargs which btw Duncan has in spades when he plays. And I hope it comes to him somehow.

I just dont like him starting i think he can be a great 6th man one of the best in the league, it's less pressure for him and he can come off and make an impact. He can still get 26 to 32 mins for sure just like Manu can in San Antonio, but a starter he is not. If they can keep Bosh or if they dont I would like to see them get a Physical, athletic Center that way u can keep Bargs in the SL by putting him on the 4.
But right now they dont have a choice but to start him and if he is having a bad night teams can drive at will to the basket and lite up the Raps. Tuesday Kobe and Lakers coming off a 3 game losing skid scares the shit out of me because Raps beat them here now they go to LA if they dont bring it ,might be bad night (81).Last edited by rdiaz101; Mon Mar 8, 2010, 07:01 PM."Hello, Hello !.....You Play to Win the GAME!!"

way to flip out and start blaming guys because your team si doing bad as of late. you either blame it on the whole team or maybe even blame it on yourself for abondoning ship because of a little bump in the road.
when will toronto fans learn to chill, you wonder why no one wants to play here. well, the fasn are nice when your winning they put you under a microscope if your having a flippin bad game or hit a slump.
sheez, i don't think jack nicholson is flipping that his lakers have lost 3 in a row. take a chill pill.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?

Aldridge does what he does very well and he's going to be a consistent producer for years to come, but does he have superstar written on him? No. Not saying Bargnani does either with the way he's playing, but if his game starts actually coming close to Dirk, he can be. With every passing month it looks like a reach, but theoretically, he's got a higher ceiling.

Apollo wrote: View PostIf you look at the top five (Bargnani, Aldridge, Morrison(bust), Thomas(bust) and Williams(bust)) I am baffled as to how you can criticize Colangelo for drafting Andrea Bargnani. Its not fair and doesn't make sense. The man drafted a good player and by my count dodged three hollow point bullets.
Bargnani is averaging about 17 ppg and 6 rpg in 34 mpg
Thomas since the trade to Charlotte is averaging 13 ppg 8 rpg in 26 mpg.
On top of that Thomas is averaging 2.6 bpg compared to Bargnani's 1.4 bpg.
The situation for Thomas in Chicago just turned bad. In Charlotte with a fresh start he is starting to play up to his potential.
If Thomas is a bust so is Bargnani and even more so since Bargnani was taken #1 when the Raptors could have traded down and taken Thomas, Roy, Gay or Aldredge.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s

The rebounding will never be there to what we hope, but his game spans a wider range than Aldridge's. IF (and that's a big if) he manages to put it together he'll be a dangerous player and that's what BC is banking on.

His defense is like a mosquito net with far too many holes in it. Once in a while a mosquito will accidentally collide with one of the pieces of netting still in tack but most of the time they have no problem finding their way through the holes in the net on the way to their victim.Avatar: Riverboat Coffee House 134 Yorkville Ave. billboard of upcoming entertainers - Circa 1960s

If nine games is enough to judge someone's career then Bargnani has been a bust and a stud about two dozen times now.
