Raps by 15. Kleiza goes off for 45 points and Bargnani gets traded to Wizards.

Will be there. At least I don't have to watch Bargnani this time. lol

We are so much better to watch without Bargnani.

It will be great if we can win this one, and hopefully Lin sucks it up to shut up all the Lin fans at the ACC

I'm so there today. It will be the first time I've seen Harden in person. Expecting great value for my entertainment dollar, and to see players who care.

JO has been impressive.

And yep, his time in Toronto was short. And it wasn't his fault. It was Colangelo's fault for leaving us a terrible backcourt along with Moon at the SF position.

If only BC acquired a good playmaker, we would have been in the playoffs.

I keep replaying "Roko's big game" against the Spurs that season in my mind, where Bosh and JC were out, and asking why Colangelo didn't trade Bosh immediately thereafter. JO could hold down the middle, defending the likes of TD one-on-one, Bargs could float around and chip in at his usual inefficient rate (he was terrible until the 4th quarter of that game). His threes that game were fluky, but Roko's waterbug style represented exactly the sort of PG Toronto should have. Trading Bosh should have brought back someone who could make their own shot consistently.

A fork in the road for this franchise.

I think we can win this one. We have to try and be more positive, I mean Bargs is not playing so hey we actually have a chance to win!! I feel that just like Dallas, the Rockets are not going to have a good night.

We need the W's to boost the players confidence (and to show that Bargs is useless and we are better off without him)

Without Bargnani it's a easy win... Ed Davis with 20/10!

The point was that your useless italian brother makes this team unwatchable and I'm sure almost everyone here is glad he's not playing.

How long before we see Ross in the starting lineup? I think it would be a good move to build chemistry with DeRozan because they're the future.

ValDewry · Post #79 » by **ValDewry** » Sun Dec 16, 2012 5:57 pm

Eddie D has a 25-15 night, JV with 15-10-5 blocks, team wins second straight. Casey doesn't use the 2 PG system all night, we have nothing to whine about.

I'll be happy as long as Ross gets another highlight dunk.
