Bargnani: Raps are the worst team in the NBA

Postby jonas_franchise on Fri Dec 14, 2012 11:43 am

Wow, I was surprised to see this on Rotoworld:

Andrea Bargnani (elbow) will reportedly miss at least three weeks.
Bargnani made the comments when speaking with La Gazzetta Dello Sport. Bargnani also called the Raptors the worst team in the NBA, so that should sit well with a fan base that already has grown tired of him. With Bargnani out indefinitely, Ed Davis should be owned in all leagues.

According to this tweet in an interview Bargnani said he will miss 3 weeks and called Raptors the worst team in the NBA.

This situation just screams Hedo Turkoglu to me. When this fool is traded I'm buying tickets to the game against him to boo the crap out of him

Casey: yeah I know, we needed spacing

Well, he speaks the truth.

If he was asked whether he thought the Raptors were the worst team in the league and he said no, this whole board would be down his throat.

More quotes for those interested:

Emiliano Carchia ‏@SportandoBasket
Andrea Bargnani: 'Everything has gone wrong right from the beginning of the season. We were built to win but we don't' ... 'We are way below all the expectations. None of us got the confidence for playing with the others' ... 'We won only four games. It is a tragedy. From every point of view it is a desperate situation' ... 'We have been losing for four years. In order to improve we need to win. But we haven't so far.' .. 'This is not the first time I am being criticized. But it doesn't affect me'

We are near the bottom right now, only case you make is for a team like Lolcats or the Generals being worse, but even the lolcats have 7 wins

For the most part I dont mind guys being honest and speaking their mind. Dont know how the teams gonna take it but as a fan I dont care at all. Probably something he shouldnt say but at the same time I always leave room for comments being taken out of context. This is a translation with no article, have no idea what else he said so...who cares... Raps suck, probably are the worst in the NBA, atleast hes got something right.

So basically he's saying I don't care if we lose and I'm used to it.
