Everything Bargnani: Grumble, Grumble, Grumble

[WJF]

The move at 1:20 Andrea passed the ball to Gallinari who made the move and scored.

Looks about the same to me. Against NBA competition most of those dives to the rim would be blocks/misses instead of getting bailed out by bad fouls, just as they have been since he came into the league.

[Stahmenah_Vybz]

HOLY! is it just me or does it look like he's going after every rebound?
He even got one of his own miss from the free throw line...

and i know he's not facing NBA caliber players but still..he looked so energized!

So how is this different from what Jonas V. is putting against the same type of teams Barg will be playing against? Will we be saying Jonas is doing great if he continues to put up as much points in less minutes or are we still going to say that it's against Euro Teams?

I wasnt posting this to show the highlights. Just showing that he looks to be in a bit better shape then from raptors season. like i said he looks slimmer, which has made him more mobile and with better lift in his jump.

[HuskyRaptor]

always improving offensively each summer but never defensively I am confident Dwane Casey will bench him when he starts showing a lack of interest 10 games into the season

The risks of starting a Bargnani thread, you never know where it is going to go - but usually not in the place you want and surely to hit on the themes of a hundred other threads.

(BTW, in all seriousness thanks for posting the video).

Yah i should have known better. Bargnani threads tend to have a mind of their own.
I have been working 12 hr days for the last 3 mornings. Not much going on so i have had alot of time to watch the Eurobasket vids this weekend .


-Saw this link on real gm if anyone wants to see eurobasket play. Its most of the friendly games played so far.

If the NBA is locked out - will be Euro ball be televised over here? I only know a handful of the players, but it is way more interesting/entertaining to watch 'team' basketball, rather than the iso shit in the NBA.

It's like a tramp stamp. But lower.

so it's like a tattoo... on your rectum?

In that case, I wouldn't even wish a 'Tim Stamp' upon my worst enemy.

the next time i drunkenly "get the wrong hole", i'm going to yell out "You've been Tim stamped.. CERTIFIED!"

I doubt any networks will pick up euro games, but you can always find a link to the game online, which is what I'm planning on doing for JVs games.

It will also be a great year to follow college basketball - NCAA that is.

Those guys are all like 19 years old though ... NCAA means nothing because they're all playing against scrub kids, of which 95%, will never even be considered for an NBA roster.

ADD See what I did there? haha

Why does the NCAA produce so few NBA players. Is it the lack of a true minor league? Or does the NBA just not care enough.

Inquiring minds wanna know. lol

[NoPropsneeded]

would NBL players be eligible for the NBA draft? just wondering

except the NCAA is comprised of players ranged from 18-22 (or so), that consists of an entire season, with MANY more players that are going to be drafted in the NBA... as opposed to a 2 week tournament with only a handful of prospects that are limited by age.

see what I did there

[Soft Euro]

Yes, you were bending the truth...

I was referring to the u19 tournament... which I may have erred in thinking Joey was sarcastically comparing NCAA to.

[Darien]

Ok great now if BC shows this to other GMs and gets Bargs new and improved (but largely still the same) game out of here for some draft picks it is mission accomplished.
