Still it would be nice to think that he could turn into a crawford-type player off the bench. |

![]() Second straight week Sports Illustrated bashes Andrea Bargnani. I love it, keep it coming:
"This is the third straight week I'm picking on Andrea Bargnani, but the unavoidable story in Toronto is how much livelier and competitive the Raptors were in their last two games -- a victory against Orlando and a loss to Chicago -- without their injured leaders in scoring (Bargnani) and assists (Jose Calderon). With the 7-foot Bargnani sidelined, the Magic and Bulls both shot a lower percentage at the rim than the Raptors' season average for opponents. That's because rookie Ed Davis and veteran Reggie Evans received more minutes, along with Toronto's most efficient player, Amir Johnson, on the front line. More surprising, against two of the NBA's three most efficient defenses, the Raptors shot better than 50 percent, had 44 assists versus 16 turnovers and averaged 104 points. This improvement with youth (22-year-old Jerryd Bayless and 21-year-old DeMar DeRozan were the primary backcourt) would be more heartening if Bargnani and Calderon weren't set to remain Toronto's highest-paid players for each of the next two years."

he started and played 8 minutes and was a -19 we were down 20 points to start the game.... its not unreasonable for a young team to feel demoralized when you start the game like this they played well rest of the way tho, but that horrible start was what killed this game |

If Andrea was so injured as to be utterly useless, he should never have been on the court. If you're on the court then you're hurt - not injured, and it's up to you to have an impact all the same. |

if Bargnani lets his man score, everyone on the floor for the raps get -2, so... ya if you watched the game (you still haven't said if you did), the young guys actually tried to make it a game. if only looking at the 2nd half it was quite competitive. bargnani shouldn't even have played....he basically ruined the outcome of the game even by just playing 8 minutes thats actually really hard to do |
