Everything Bargnani: Grumble, Grumble, Grumble

[DunkinDerozan]

In the first half you couldn't tell if his eyes were open or closed. He looked like he was sleep walking.

Is it time to start Davis rather than Bargnani?

This way he can catch up on his sleep on bench during the beginning of the game.

Ed Davis reminds me of Chris Bosh the way hes limping up and down the court with that big brace. I dont think he's 100% he looks to get tierd very quick. Bargnani had a tough game but so did the whole team. If the raptors wings dont knock down shots it allows other teams to double Bargnani without worrying about him passing out. Raptors need wings who are confindent kocking down shots someone like Brandon Rush. Why do you think Hibbert is so effective its because Indiana has a bunch of shooters around him. When Weems and Derozan are just standing uslessly at the 3 point line with a combined 10 % 3 point shooting percantage you think teams will respect that ummm nooo, therefore they can easily double Bargnani without any worries. Don't be suprosied if more teams start realizig this. We need peja back as soon as possible to spread the floor. Who would of ever thought that looll...

You take Andrea out of the starting line up and who will score? Davis is playing well but his offense is incredibly raw, Amir is good in the pick and roll but would be completely shut down if teams game planned for him, DD is not ready, Weems is inconsistent and Jose is, well, do you really see Jose scoring in bunches? Andrea is our franchise scorer and he will start until

1. Someone else steps up

or

2. We trade him

LOLLLLLL, Buddah


How did you like Bayless's game today ? Quite an ALL-STAR isn't he?

I have seen old men in wheel chairs move faster than Bargnani did tonight on defense in the first half.

The brace actually weighs very very little and does not impair Davis' play.

I didn't see him limping but then again the Raptors coaches and I might have missed it.

I don't think that they would intentionally play an injured player.

Davis does need to build up his conditioning.

I don't think that Davis is ready to start because he needs more experience and he needs to build up his stamina. However by the all-star break he could be good to start.

It will happen. It is only a question of when and who he will replace in the starting lineup.

[Grrr]

You are correct to certain extent.

Davis can guard Hibbert, though Davis needs more experience.
Kleiza can guard McRoberts
Johnson could have guarded Granger.

wasnt particularly worried about kleizas defensive assignment..more worried about his offence being terrible and him looking like he doesnt know what to do when he gets the ball. i particularly was impressed with the play where it looked like he just gave the ball to is defender. he has been utterly disappointing.

Your answer to when is ... when he gets traded and he will repalace elton brand in philadephia's starting lineup loool ( my wishful thinking hello Igudala please bc pull your magic)

Otherwise he should be happy if he stays in Toronto for the rest of the year, he clearly hates the Dleague long bus rides loll..

[DunkinDerozan]

On a serious note,,, I see a little problem.. I beleive Bargnanis natural position is Power Forward. However now that Amir is developing into a legit power forward it is almost a negative because now Amir desrves to be a starter and if we bring in a true center who comes off the bench now?

[the_aftermath]

I just thought this was funny:

Raps & Pacers game:

So Bargs nonchalantly gives Dunleavy the elbow and Dunleavy literally does a dramatic dive that made all soccer teams around the world take notes.

Then Dunleavy decides to “retaliate”

To which Bargs says “Wow that’s it? That’s your best shot?”

Wasn’t aware our big guy had emotion/got involved/got affected. Nice.



Still a shitty game though.

They killed us with the 3 pointers, how can be Bargnani freakin' s fault??? he had maybe 5 shoots in the first half , Calderon and co. took him out of action it was not Indiana...in the end you can put , Davis e Amir as a starters if you like but the cruel truth is ...when Bargnani get it going Raptors win , also because is not a selfish player and gives the opportunity to open space for the " young onez " ( whatever ) ...when Amir got big number Raptors loose ! just like a guy called Bosh , he can do better but without him we will be at the bottom of the table!

Is THere A "LIKE BUTTON"

[QUOTE=Buddahfan;55087]

I'm convinced that Amir's going to have an impact for the raptors. Maybe Ed Davis will become better though. That doesn't change the fact that we still need a good center.[/QUOTE]

Why?

The Thunder don't have a good center.

What you need are two bigs who can play defense and rebound.

Davis and Johnson can both do that.

How many big heavy centers are their in the league that can score.

Noah does a very good job at center and Davis is bigger than he is.

OKC were also bounced out of the first round by the Lakers, whos huge front court dismantled them in the post..Every team that goes deep in the playoffs have a legit C who can play D..

Scoring gets all the $ and praise but its Defence that wins titles...

ya its not bargs job to guard 3pt line but if there doing switchs on D(which they always do) it becomes his prob if its the guy hes supposed to switch to!.. i think we all would agree that Bargs isnt too bad when hes scoring but hes never consistant & when hes not scoring hes useless.. its like he just mails it in & plans for a night clubing..

[Buddahfan]

Bargnani is supposed to be the team leader.

Maybe when the leader plays like he has just taken Nodoz the rest follow his lead.

Yawning is very contagious.

[Arsenalist]

Edited it to add a video of the exact clip. This was the "bright spot" in the game, need Andrea to show more of this swagger, but not towards small white guys.

Lol did it specifically say in his contract that Bargnani is suppose to be a team leader... If i dont remeber correctly before this year he hardly said a word to his teamates looll...

Relaxxx give the man some time to grow into this role. Bosh had 7 years to become the man... If you are assuming this is Bargnanis team well then .. give him time grow into a leader and consitant all star...

[Raptor4Ever]

The Young BUNZ should be bench instead of AB.

Demar, Money Weems and their new addition, their ALL-STAR PG blow all their defensive assignment tonight and were man handled.

Where is the toughness that people were talking about it ? Maybe they are saving all their energy for their utube videos

This team and the YOUNG BUNZ are a Joke.

Spoken like a true union person.

Just saying.

So if he is not the leader who would you suggest?

haha exactly what i was thinking, if bargs is going to be the man then that swaggers got to come out against elite players instead of that pasty bone rack he was mouthing off too but still, its a start for him.

[Ruuuuu]

Yo the guy elbowed him, so what if he's not that good, you dont think about that in the heat of the moment. Bravo Mago!!!

LOL at the commentator reading the lips too!

"Wow"
"Thats it?"
"Thats your best shot?"

LOL Im not a 100% sure about the last line. I think he could've said something more gangster in Italian but he wanted to make sure dunleavy understood it haha
