Except for leaving Calderon in the game too long, when Nelson kept abusing him I would'nt put too much blame on Triano......
IF Jose was benched, Wright/Belinelli/Derozan all would get more minutes, something that should happen if Jose continues to stink it up, which will definitely happen....... You don't need to be in game shape to be able to fight through at least one screen... Jose in general has horrible Defensive awareness, and he is one of the softest guards in the NBA, on a team like ours his defensive deficiencies are magnified ten fold as we don't have a defensive anchor/shot blocker on our team..
People who are hoping for a turnaround will be disappointed, because Calderon's defensive effort won't change, his defensive awareness will likely never change and he definitely is not getting any younger, as he looks to have lost a lot of quickness that he had in 2006/2007.
Offensively, he also doesn't look for anyone outside Bosh, rarely recognizes mismatches if Bargnani has a smaller guy on him, or Turkoglu has a slower/smaller defender... I don't think he has made a single assist to Derozan in any of the 3 games so far...
At this point his jumpshot has gone cold, so he is a complete liability and even trading him won't net us much value. Keeping Calderon is one of BC's worst mistakes as a GM, and he is suffering the consequences of this decision
