What's strange is that he WASN'T this bad last year, which begs the question, 'what happened?'.


scouting reports?? teams know how to beat him on both ends now. last year he was an afterthought.

And last year he wasnt all that good anyways. I know how everyone likes to mythologize his rookie year but...

**** I just woke up, I always forget the Raptors play early on Sundays. It looks like Bargnani is doing terrible?

I would love to sit in on conversations between Mitchell
and Colangelo about Bargnani.
I wonder how many times the phrase "I told you so"
comes up.

Yeah, that 'Assess in 5 years' thing is a real cop-out... in 5 years he'll ask why the hell the reporter is dwelling on something so out of date.

Dammit. What to do with this guy though? I feel as though he's a negative when he's on the floor now.


For sure you're opinion is more valid than Colangelo's.

What is your current occupation, btw? Is it two-time NBA executive of the year?

Teams are tougher on him this year. Last season he was a nobody, this season, scouts know what he can do, and coaches are making adjustments in their defense against him.


I haven't seen them be too much tougher, if at all, this season to be honest. It just seems like he's regressed to the player he was at the beginning of last season...which means it's not the defense. He's just not playing with any confidence. You can just see how uncomfortable he looks out there.
