Um, Cleveland won, Nets won twice, we lost twice. Irving here we come?

Tough to argue with that.

2 games separates two through five.

Look at the Lakers for a recent example. Due to Shaq's poor free throw shooting they often had to take him out late to avoid intentional fouls. I actually thought that it was one of the smarter moves that Triano has shown me lately. I'm fully ok with and hope it gets AB to learn how to help out better.

Not everyone in the team NEEDS to score. There's only one ball after all. On the flip side, every damn player out there HAS to play defense. That, my friend, is the difference. That is the reason you can have Dwight Howard as a franchise player despite his limited offense and horrible FT. That's why you can find defensive specialists on championship teams, but rarely (if at all) find offensive guys who can't play defense. Someone else can pick up the slack for scoring. Not for defense. This is what BC doesn't get. And this is why the franchise is screwed.

As for the Bargnani plays...horrible decision by either the coach, or Bargnani, or both. last second shot...long 2...least effective shot in the game...'nuff said.

I'd like to see Amir with the ball in his hands at crunch time. I believe he has an excellent scoring percentage and he's a very good at the line if he gets fouled.

I just watched the first 4 quarters and you honestly can't blame Bargs. The dood had 26 going into the 4th (12 in the 3rd) and sat for a while then when he came back guys never gave him the ball until 1:06 in the 4th when he cooled down. Guys like Demar who were having off days shouldn't of been chucking the ball when Bargs was in the game (came in around 5 min mark in the 4th).

BTW, That was the only shot Bargs took in the 4th after being the hottest player coming into the 4th which is mind boggling.

Edit: Demar chucking continues in OT. This is making the game near unwatchable. He isn't even looking to pass. WHY AREN'T THEY GIVING IT TO BARGS?!

Demar scored 30......

Demar scored 30......

This RaptorsFan4Life kid is a joke.

[RaptorsFan4Life]

Demar scored 30......

On 26 shots. Demar had a decent game but Bargs should of been taking most the shots in 4th/OT since he was hands down the hottest player. Triano kept him on the bench too long and when he did get in he never got the ball till he was cold..

BTW Does anyone know why Ed/Sonny didn't play in OT? Ed was beasting up till he got benched.

On 27 shots. Demar had a decent game but Bargs should of been taking most the shots in 4th/OT since he was hands down the hottest player.

I guess you missed his driving lay-up that tied the game and sent it to overtime, eh?

I never said he didn't have his moments.

I just think Bargs should of had more shots in the 4th since he was the hottest player in the game at the time opposed to Demar who hadn't scored since the first.

BTW I guess you missed his bricked shot at the end of the 2nd OT that send the game to triple OT...

I guess you missed Bargnani's game losing brick at the end of triple OT.
