PG: Remember, that's a seven footer out there.

Bargs had a .429 TS% and had 5 boards in 39 minutes.

That's not above average, that's crap. He was better defensively than he had been in other games, but he wasn't particularly good there or anything, just better than his usual low standard.

Umm no, he played pretty good defense over all. Had some key blocks that really changed the game and gained momentum for us actually.

No Trilogy is right, his defence was bad all game.

Apparently people thinks if he scores some points he had a good game. The magic are plain terrible also.

Every time Leo starts to talk I hit the mute button.
If they can't use jack every game surely there mus be someone better than leo.

And Jack really isn't very good, Leo just makes him look better.

Was a little worried after that 3rd quarter.

[Undefeated]

- Bargnani got off to a mild start to the game first with the interception by Glen Davis for the dunk. It was nice to see him start his offense inside-out swooping in for layups with those dribble-drives, but I still don’t like how he’s sizing up from the 3-point line when he should be catching the ball from the elbow and converting those fakes to attacks with a single dribble instead of two dribbles. It gives the defense too much time to react even if his first lunge to the basket is explosive, the defense can easily make that defensive slide way faster when they don’t have to cover as much ground. It basically forces Bargnani to contort his body because he has to maneuver around the help defender to get to the basket and those layups he tries to finish end up having a 50/50 chance of dropping into the basket. Layups should go in the basket 80% of the time. He also has to stop this poor habit of ducking his head whenever he’s separated between the rim and his defender. By doing that, he eliminates where his teammates are for the kick-out because he’s so focused on at the rim, and the layups ends up being short.

He missed a couple of easy layups that should’ve been converted into points, so his FG% is a bit deceiving. Nonetheless, I kind of expected him to have a dominant offensive performance against Glen Davis and Andrew Nicholson. They’re giving up 4-inches in height, and their speed can be count on a calendar, so it was kind of a disappointment he didn’t do more.

- Dominic McGuire needs to chill out a bit out there sometimes. He had numbers on a 2-on-1 fastbreak with Calderon running with him on the left sideline and he decides to pull-up for the foul-line jumper that hit nothing but glass. That was a WTF moment. Aside from that he had a solid game.

- Amir and Ed did a good job of making those rim-runs and ducking in for easy baskets. I was surprised that Calderon didn’t get picked off once when he made those entry passes because he’s usually never that quick and accurate on his passes when he has to make laser quick moves. Calderon’s even using the hit-ahead pass to push the pace like Andre Miller does.

- The offense was ugly to watch, but I can’t blame Coach Casey for running those high/middle screen-and-rolls and dribble hand-offs repeatedly to death because he’s got to keep things simple for a roster that can’t do much offensively. They don’t have any players that can read the defense off –the-ball and make timely cuts to the basket. No one on this team is a premier cutter that can pick apart the defense with their deception and motion to open up the floor for other players. I don’t know, but besides Lowry, Amir and Fields this team lacks guys with BBall IQ to make something happened when they have to improvise.

[LAUGHING]

demar almost had double the boards bargs pulled down...

[Scase]

bettrer honestly.

He was engaged in the offense, and everyone knows he plays harder on defense when he gets good looks on offense.

What about J Vizzle?

got a few tic tac fouls, lost his man a couple of times, but for a rookie a solid game.

Ah awesome thx for the quick review

My apologies I meant above average for him.

Listening to Leo is listening to two hour man crush on bargnani.. Criticizes McGuire missing one shot, keeps quite about bargnani taking 19 shots to score 15 point

[J Dilla]

Amir Johnson really blew up on the 4th

Hmm, ignoring the sexism in that one statement. Nikola Vucevic is a good player.

[tiger7]

Good 1st and 4th quarter down the stretch. Demar looked great and Jose had a good game as well. We need to get games like this.

[Big Shot]

much needed win....props to AJ and Jose.

Wasn't Valanciunas guarding Vucevic?

I thought Vucevic played well. Definitely looked more polish in the post and comfortable offensively than Jonas.

Good is relative. He's good relative to the 7 billion people that populate the world. Compared to fellow NBA players, he's trash.

Also, men are better than women at basketball. There's a reason that an entire WNBA team salary cap is the same as the minimum salary for a 5 year vet in the NBA.

He is soft and slow.... And reason sixers got ride of him

[dTox]

F**k I missed the game (slept all day with hangover)...........Why did Ed only play 8 min? He was quite efficient putting up 5 pts in that limited time

[team edward]

I thought Val looked good today, would have liked to see him more in the fourth instead of the 7-foot point guard.

Glen Davis was eating the Raps up in the post like a plate of ribs.

Those two or three nice plays by McGuire made me wonder what it must be like to have a decent SF on your team.

[ItsDanger]

Bargs +20! Horrible on offense again though.

[Saciid11]

It's funny the best big on the floor was a guy who at least 100 pound overweight and at least 5 inches undersized
