I don't know, the perception I get from you is that your not really a fan but more of a critical bystander. There's nothing wrong with that, but you don't exactly scream hardcore fan. I mean the Raps just beat the Celtics and for some reason your saying there going to go on a 5 game losing streak, pretty weak...
unfortunately, he usually gets lumped in with the rest of the bargs-haters... most of whom are unintelligible dishpigs.

There are at least a dozen or so good websites out there already that have the Raptors stats including the advanced ones in one form or another.
All that needs to be done is to link these web sites somewhere on Raptors Republic that is noticeable and accessible.

Tim W,not a Bargnani hater?
Tim W. wrote: View Post
Bargnani is a very talented offensive player, but because I am a fan of the Raptors, I cannot stand by and say nothing when I feel that he cannot be part of the future if the goal is to win a Championship. You can disagree with me on that point, but please don't question my loyalty to the Raptors because you couldn't be more wrong.
I am a fan, but not one who blindly follows and cheers whoever they put in front of me. I'm a fan who is able to look at the team objectively and be critical when it is called for.

Regardless if he's a terrible rebounder, the man definitely deserves consideration at the least. And this is coming from one of his biggest critics from over the years. Anything less is ignorance in my opinion.

I do not know what was the best way to develop Bargnani player. I have just seen that the important players drafted in 2006 have been used as first or at least as second violins in their teams, since day one. Bargnani for Season 1-2 did not have any play designed for him and the team was playing Bosh in the post or the outside shooting (Merely nothing else), and do not forget that if he missed a shot, the lovely Sam will take him out of the game. 3-4 year with Triano something changed, but it was always a Bosh centered team and we all know what that meant with a selfish player like Bosh. This year he is the main guy, he is developing, he making the experience needed to be a great player and he definitely has the talent. I agree that he needs to be more tough, he needs to be a better defensively player catching more rebounds. But the toughness will come with the experience and with that will come also the rebounds. Therefore I will give him time and wait until the end of the season to say that he is not a player that can be part of the hypothetically Raptors' championship contenders.
Bargnani has been a below average rebounder and defender since he was drafted. Without the pressure to be the main scorer, Bargnani should have been able to focus on developing those skills, but he hasn't. There is simply no excuse. If Bargnani were better in these areas, or if I felt we'd seen some half decent development over the last four years, I wouldn't have a problem. But I haven't. And I simply feel you can't win with a big man who is a liability in these two extremely important areas.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!
