You know Bargnani doesnt care when DeRozan and JV are yelling at him to play D, Was so impressed with DeMar tonight played a dam good game.

exactly and he gets touches because he does not park on the 3pt lineT.Dot wrote:

does aaron gray shoot threes, does he have the ability to lift players off their feet to go to the basket
I don't want Andra shooting 3's he is a 7 footer, we have already enough guys shooting threes. He also makes them at a rate that you cant' even brag about, his efficiency for 3pt shooting is mediocre compared to those that specialize in that shot.
Your ability to play defense doesn't fade away when the offensive game is taken away (or struggling).
Your desire to play defense fades away when the offensive game is taken away (or struggling).
That is the problem.
For whatever reason Bargnani is not capable of consistently playing to the best of his ability.
Defensive effort and commitment is the only thing as a player you have complete control over when you are struggling. If a guy needs his offense to get his defense going, I don't want him on my team.

When you take that away, you take away part of his game. He doesn't have to shoot threes all the time but majority of the times he lifts the players off their feet with a fake it is useful.
I can't wait.
It is also 1 day after the trade deadline.
Fingers crossed on reason to celebrate.

no but he can get a fucking rebound
catering to Andrea is why we were a lottery team during his prime years, so why should we pick the worst option that will make sure we lose, to keep Andrea happy on the stat sheet? you saw it, he was not the least interested in even fouling his man once beaten.

Back on the game of the night...I thought Lucas played very well in the 2nd half. Didn't let the game get away from the team. Not great, but he seems to just have that gear for 2nd half basketball...I found it odd again though, that he seemed to really struggle in the first half.
*By not great I mean as a creator. I know that's not his game, and I'm happy with the shots he makes, but I wish that the O could be a bit smoother when he's on the floor.
he protected that ball well, they were pressing him hard, have to give him props
Okay you do have a point and I completely understand everything you just said and I'm sure there are reasons why but he hasn't been completely known as a defensive threat has he?
Was it his fault that BryCo wanted to build around him? Was it his fault that he was drafted #1? Didn't BryCo not know what decisions he had to make?
Thanks alot man
yep I think I'm gonna watch this Houston game aswell. Really fun team to watch
no not at all, but that still does not explain the lack of effort, which is what disturbs the fans the most... we know he is talented, just does not seem to always care, its his career, his life, no need to fault the fans... the fans have been more than kind to him, gave him lots and lots of breaks earlier on. At this stage he is a man, so he should start playing up to his contract.

At this point, I don't even know what we'll get for Andrea. He was so bad against the Knicks tonight. Just downright indifferent.

Well he is making it easier for BryCo to save his ass and to get rid of him. So I'm sure we won't be having this discussion a couple weeks from now.
A change of scenery might do both sides some good, the only problem is the kid is not playing well enough to interest other teams to take on his contract. You basically need another GM to see "potential" like we once did, and that may be hard considering the resume.
He honestly has not progressed as a player in Toronto. The different coaches, management, no one knows what has happened as to why that is but only time will tell what happens next.
