Amir is Bargnani's buddy, and he's the ultimate team guy. You insult him by even inferring he wouldn't support what Kyle is saying. These guys all want to win, they are building up momentum, and the fans should have one concern: The playoff push.

Don't talk about the painful years like you are unwilling to leave them behind. And by the way, I've probably had more f'n'k'g painful years watching this team, I've probably been suffering with them since before you were born. Now that the tide may be turning, I'm not interested in dwelling on those miserable nights in March and April when nobody wanted to go to a Raptors game with me, for free. I'm enjoying the fact that lots of people want to go see this team.

Thank you Kyle for putting it out there.

I posted this in the other thread but people need to realize booing Andrea not only affects him but the ENTIRE team. These guys are brothers off the court and they all feel it to some extent even if you're booing one player.

They crossed the line when they booed T.J. Ford when he had just come back from a serious injury. That's all ya need to know about our fanbase

I can't even defend bargnani on here, not because I have nothing to back it up with, its just because theirs only one of me and 100, 000 that hate him 90,000 of those ppl just hate him for the sake of hating someone.

When will we stop equating emotionless to lack of effort. Tonite's box score for Andrea had way more to do with the our team, the players and how hes used rather than any lack of effort some may want to believe...

If you want people to stop booing then stop checking Bargnani into the game.

I bet you if Bargs drew a charge and dove on a loose ball people would cheer him. Toronto fans love guys who TRY even if they suck like Reggie Evans.

Bargs has the power to stop the boos. He just doesn't care enough to do it.

Unless Lowry wants to pay for their tickets, he can stfu. They paid good money for those seats, they can express how they feel about Bargnani

I'm guessing he was on the floor of the dressing room crumpled up in the fetal position, crying and repeating, "the caliper was a lie! the caliper was a lie!"

And you know for a fact that Lowry was put up to this? Maybe he's just being a leader, although I doubt you even understand the concept.

The best thing for Bargs are some road games. Get some good games going... I think the booing will die down slowly. I think the booing tonight was moreso a sign of the fans' disappointment that he wasn't traded at the deadline.

Im happy Kyle said this. Someone has to, and as our PG he is our leader on the floor

Sure Bargs is under performing big time, but he has never responded well to negativity. If you want him gone so bad, try and create an atmosphere where he can best succeed.

He's currently wearing a Raptors jersey, so Im not going to boo him - I want to see him succeed and help the team win - as a big potential threat off the bench he is going to be extremely important to this team whether the fans like it or not

I agree with him actually. Bargs doesn't deserve all the boos.

Good, hopefully it dies down. It doesnt help us at all.

It's not just the disappointment of him not getting traded, it's just the realization that he sucks. Isn't even worth a 2nd rounder at this point and the years of lackluster play require fan attention. At least they're not throwing Primo Pasta at him.

I want Bargnani to have a big game at home, and just after he makes a key basket, belch to the crowd "Boo me now ****ers!"

That would be awesome lol

yeah he doesn't know what bargnani has put this fanbase through...

Just shut him down to save him further embarrassment he offers nothing when hes out there anyways and give Acy the mins to see what hes got.

Lowry exposing Torontos pitchfork and torch mentality that has been going on for ages. The truth hurts. Maybe on his next tweet hell talk about how insecure people in Toronto are as well.

What the fans are doing is not cool and embarassing.

Fellow Haters. I think we now have a second player to boo.

TRaps · Post #40 » by **TRaps** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 4:16 am

Our fan base is so stupid, booing TJ Ford after the return from a back injury is absolutely pathetic, now booing bargnani give this a guy a break. He has no plays run for him, sets picks, isn't good rebounder but at least his one on one defence is good and he can stretch the floor. He just came back from injury, he is not this bad he has potential to be a very good six man off the bench once he gets his mojo going. What Toronto Fans are doing right now is totally classless, let the boys play and push for the playoffs!
