TorontoRaptors- Heartbreak Kid: ***
Meanwhile, north of the border, the Raptors believed they'd gotten hitched to the perfect forward for the next decade and a half after selecting small forward Andrea Bargnani first overall from one of the weakest NBA draft pools in recent memory in 2006. In his first season, Bargnani displayed flashes of potential brilliance en route to averaging 11.6 points and, 4 rebounds per contest as the Raptors clinched a playoff berth. Unfortunately, 2 years into his brief career, those numbers have been his career high while Coach Sam Mitchell(and on All-Star Weekend so will the nation) has now fallen in love with pogo stick forward Jamario Moon.
As the honeymoon period's deadline looms for Bargnani and the Raptors, a marked improvement on his 8.6 points and 3.4 rebounds per game will be required or a messy divorce could be imminent. Another injury to porcelain point guard T.J. Ford has openned the gates for a love affair with hinge All-Star Jose Calderon and a likely quarterback controversy in 2008(spring or fall, depending on Ford's recovery). With a simple script to follow will the Raptors mend their rocky relationships with T.J. Ford and Bargnani or will they start anew with Moon and Calderon?
