Bargnani at the 3 

Post#1 » by teamLeiweke » Wed Jan 16, 2008 3:05 am

Why is tonight not a night where Bargnani gets some minutes at the three... what is Tayshawn Prince going to do?

Also at the end of the game, in garbage minutes, when there is no pressure, why not put him out there over guys like Graham to get his feet wet and get some confidence and swagger back?

I know Mitchell's philosophy, but if Bargnani was playing in a "true" lottery team, he would get minutes regardless of mistakes and be allowed to shoot at will and get all the confidence int he world... when the raptors get blown out (pretty much) he should be on for garbage minutes.

Shouldnt be coach be dedicated to developing a 1st overall pick as much as possible, especially when hes struggling right now and you KNOW he is full of talent?

Yes, we get it, some of you think Bargnani hasn't developed because Mitchell doesn't play him enough.........while a lot of us choose to blame Bargnani for his own play.

bargs should play the 3. its not like his defence at 5 is helping the team either. at least make mistakes near the perimeter.

What every wing player has been capable of doing, take away his offensive game. It wasn't a good match up for him tonight anywhere on the floor. Maybe in the future they should put him at the 3, but definitely not against Tayshaun.

Tayshawn Prince would run circles around Bargs. You really think Bargs can keep up with his cutting and slashing?

I am sick and tired of all Bustani lovers here on this board! Let's face it we WAISTED first pick overall. If you find me any #1 who had stretch of games in the middle of second season like he has I won't say a word. He might have some skills, but definitely his IQ is very low. How else you can explain his confused look after he is taken out of the games and stupidity not to try to do something different.

BOO BARGNANI. The guy is complete garbage. He is a disgrace to Raptors and I am so embarassed that Raps picked him. Hopefully, he will be gone by next season, I do not want to EVER see him a Raptors uniform..=

Kwame Brown. Something tells me that won't get you to stop talking about him though.

yeah, and mitchell said as logn as he plays D and REBBOUNDs then he will stay ont he floor... 5 reb in 16 mins... why did he get another chance to come backm int he game.. especially when he put out the line up he did in garbage time... i know rasho may be better, but honestly, when u know youre gonna lose the game anyway, developing rasho, developing graham, developing dixon, IS NOT gonna help us be a great team nextr yr or the year after... PUT ANDREA BACK IN!!!!!

So why don't we all admit that his limit is to be a player like Kwame is today. And by the way if you give me an option between two of them right now I'd take K.Brown any day of the week.

it must be somethign else... he has lost his confidence... is probably upset... if you read the sun today, mitchell has not said a word to him in three weeks, not even a gesture, nothing, THAT HAS TO MAKE YOU SCARED about missing a shot everytime u miss one.... shoot my confidence down why dont u... man oh man...... im pissed.
