Maybe let Rasho/Hump start?

I don't know what to do with this guy anymore. He makes no effort to do anything but stand his lazy butt up at the 3-point line and shoot bricks. Most fans wouldn't be so mad if he gave an effort. Sam tried to raise his confidence and it didn't work so it's definitely time to let Rasho start again. Rasho was playing well for us when he started and make Hump the first big off the bench.

nope, it would just cause more confusion.. i'd rather him start and get benched than cause drama with the media. Benchin bargs would just ruin whatever confidence he has built up as a starter

When he's on the bench this seaosn he really contributes nothing. Starting he is better but still not good enough. I think you've got to bench him again and make him earn his minutes by playing good defense, rebounding, and hustling. If he does these things give him minutes. His offense will get back on track either way. Its the other things that matter more.

Trade him before he becomes as worthless as his Aroujo or the other European bust who was picked by Nuggets #5 couple of years ago...

I think we should let Hump start, set the tone with his rebounding and hustle. He plays better with Bosh than Bargs plays with Bosh.

You can't give up on Bargs so easily. He's showed the flashes of brilliance, something Aroujo never did. He's going through a sophomore slump, which happens to many players in every sport. As long as the coaches make him work hard in practice he will get back on track. Give him some time.

I totally agree. Let Bargs earn the starting spot. Rasho or Hump, I'll take either right now.

Sending him to the bench will lower his confidence even further. He needs help one way or another. Bargs needs someone to rip into him while at the same time he probably needs more support and encouragement from his teammates. Who knows what is going through his head? And he was so good towards the end of last year and he even started this season well...so disappointing.

Im going with when TJ comes back and starts.... Jose will be more focuses to get the ball to Bargnani.... cause TJ and Bosh were always on the bench when Bargnani and Calderon were playing... so im going with that.

he hasn't shown anything near what is expected of top 10 pick let alone a guy who was picked #1. Best thing BC could do right know to redeem himself is by trading Bargnani before his value becomes like Enron.

he shouldn't have been re-inserted into the starting line-up to begin with, when he was already struggling ... If you're looking for a short-term fix for the Raps 5 spot, you may have to consider starting CB4 at the 5 and maybe let Jamario or Hump guard the 4 spot ... Sure the defense with that line-up would be below average, but better some D, than no D ...

People said I was crazy when I predicted Bargnani's potential was either Okur or poor mans Okur...

**** team doesn't pass him the ball. How many times did he have open looks in the post yesterday and got ignored by the rest of the lineup. I hope he just stands up for himself one night and get into the faces of his teammates. Yell at them like CB did to him, get pissed off at them on live tv. Send them a message because it's getting ridiculous. He's working his ass off in the post trying to get position only to be ignored and left out of the play.
