And how have those guys ever even touched Bargs career numbers in a single season? Wtf is your point.

"Wtf" do their career numbers have to do with you said? If those unathletic trunks can hustle their butts off, so can Bargnani.

Because you are hurting the TEAM. It's obvious to me, how can you don't understand that?

Good edit... But things are becoming clearer now anyways. Jakay wrote:And this is clearly where you don't understand the limitations of some people.
Yeah, I get all those guys white. Not the same person, turns out.

Oops, maybe that's why the guy is being defended so much? Cuz not everyone on that list is like the other.

Do you not buy tickets? Well, no revenue means owners do not have the necessary amount of money to pay for top tier talent.
Do you write the organization? How many of those types of letters, emails, tweets, etc make it to the decisions makers?
The majority of the casual and semi-casual fan is only the experience of the game for entertainment and that is where they can express whatever emotions the game allows them to. So is Bargs the current focal point for anger and sorrow based on BC's deception of promoting him as the team's saviour? You bet.
BTW, great read on how a fan base (or a fan) feels about their team.
http://thenumerati.net/?postID=818&being-a-sports-fan-religion-or-addictionNeedless to say, I try to manage my addiction by maximizing the pleasure, minimizing the pain, and reducing my emotional vulnerability. (Odysseus attempted something similar when he had sailors tie him to the mast so that he could pass the island of the Sirens and enjoy their songs without succumbing to their sorcery.) I would argue that I resist not only to reduce suffering, but also as a matter of pride: When a business successfully manipulates my emotions and desires, I feel like a loser.

The team has played better since the booing. It'd be just as logical, if not more, to suggest the team is actually playing better because of the booing. Raps fans should turn the booing up even more!

OBVIOUSLY

And i'm not the one who implied that Bargnani can't hustle like others due to a lack of athleticism. Bargnani doesn't hustle because it's not something that comes to him naturally. Whether he is lazy or not, it's a mental limitation.

You guys just cannot see that Bargs cannot play with the explosive athleticism you want to see. Is it frustrating? Yes, of course it is.
You guys saying he doesn't try should try stepping out on the court against even regular collegiate athletes, and film yourselves playing. Then I'll tell you you didn't try.
Then I'll boo you.

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.

That's a wonderful story.

Meh, you know what you edited out of your post, and the only reason for defending the guy was what was edited. It's weird, that's why you saw, when the list wasn't was what you thought it was, and what's more, those guys show far more hustle with far less athleticism and tools than this guy. He was a number 1 pick! No he's not Blake Griffin, but stop pretending this guy is handicapped or something.
