Re: Hatred Against Our Players Has To Stop (Bargnani Situati
Someone just needs to remind Bargs that the same "fans" that are boing him cheer for made shots on non-continuation baskets, pizza and a hockey team that hasn't won in over 40 years.
Booing you're own player when he subs in is classless.
This fan base is part of the problem. One poster argues that laker or Knick fans would year him apart.
Knick and Laker fans are also the most hated of NBA fans.

This is what many dont understand. Booing isn't accomplishing anything
But this isn't going to change nor is this exclusive to Toronto.
Fans get tired of PLAYER X, they boo PLAYER X. It happens in every sport, all over the place.
It's either up to PLAYER X to play better or get benched or management to deal them.
That's the way it works.
Bargs being dealt is a foregone conclusion but again what is booing going to accomplish? Because so far it hasn't done anything to benefit the team.

You're missing the point. The average fan doesn't think like that, the average fan is like 'This guy has been sucking, I'm going to boo". You're not going to convince that fan to not boo, you're not going to be able to run a campaign to get to all of them.
THUS
It's on the player/team to figure it out.

And if the team starts winning, or somehow makes the playoffs, the booing will disappear.

Re: Hatred Against Our Players Has To Stop (Bargnani Situati
Honestly if bargs was hustling out there and at least trying and not just standing around then he wouldnt get booed
The way i see it if he keeps playing this way hes getting what he deserves. Dont like it grab a rebound

Let's look at what the flipside has accomplished. A guy undeservedly picked number 1, given 7 years to develop, a 50 million dollar extension, and the return? A guy who can't even be bothered to show up.

my point as well. They're booing him because countless number of times, he hasn't shown up for the fans. Fans don't take that ish too lightly.

Rapsobsessed7 is right. SUPPORT HIM. Let's find out if he can integrate himself into the new squad. It's a win win situation. His trade value goes up, and hopefully we get better play out of him off the bench. Complaining about it at this point does nothing. This is coming from one of his biggest critics. Time to switch it up.

Since RealGM posters account for every fan at the game, I doubt Bargs will get booed anymore.

Come on guys, just give Bargs the silent treatment every time he checks in, every time he makes a shot, every time he misses a shot. It would be very powerful and hilarious. He shows no emotion on the court, so the fans should show no emotion towards him on the court..

Re: Hatred Against Our Players Has To Stop (Bargnani Situati
This is BCs fault. After years of shoving him down our throat even up to his last injury they totally dropped him. Its really amazing how BC has treated him recently after years of making excuses for him. I guess he must have got fed up. When the main guy who has had your back since the beginning turns on you the rest will follow.
This is turning out like what the wizard fans did to Andrea Blatche. They booed him everytime he came in. He got amnestied

why was hakeem called "the dream"??"
Because it rhymes with 'Olajuwon'.

I agree the average fan doesn't think like that, but when you boo a player or a team it shows your displeasure with their performance and that you want them to play harder. The problem is that it hasn't happened with Bargs it's only made him worst. Nothing is being gained with booing him.

Bargnani's body language has depression written all over it.
I get it, he's been garbage of late. But you don't boooo ANY player for picking up their first foul trying to play defense. Dude is a sensitive guy, its pretty obvious.
I want the raptors to succeed, and I want Bargs playing a Ryan Anderson role off the bench to help them succeed like Jack Armstrong said. Booing isn't going to do anything.
Cheer him like any other Raptor, and if he continues to dissapoint, let him ride the bench and play Acy.

I don't know why this is so complicated for some of you. The guy's ENTIRE CAREER he's been inconsistent, soft, and lacked effort. You might be new to watching the Raps, as he was coming off the bench for a short time and did basically the same thing. Played with even less effort, and interest than when he started. Everything that could be done with this goofball has been done. He doesn't care, it won't work. Boo him until he's gone. BC should be next. 5 bucks says this stretch of games will be BC's 13 game streak.

I agree with you 100%, but it's not going to change and it's not something magically isolated to the city of Toronto.
So...
It's on Bargnani/Casey/BC/Team to figure out how to handle it.

Yep, the truth is, fans are left with no other choice.

Correct me if I'm wrong but we boo'ed the hell out of Hedo at the end of the season, he was traded and we got a pretty decent return for his horrible contract? His value couldn't have been that much better than Bargs at this point and he had a longer contract.

Remember when we were 4-19 and Bargs got injured and then told an Italian journalist in an interview that the Raptors are the worst team in the league.
Good times.

TO fans booing Bargs every single game is just flat out embarrassing for the city.
The booing effects the other Raptor players just as much. Probably doesnt make them feel comfortable having their teamate booed every time he misses a shot. Its just brutal.
Bargnani gets it by now that we want him off the team, no need to keep booing and alienate the rest of the team.
