Bobcat interview with Bryan Colangelo on the Fan590 

Post#1 » by asif9t9 » Wed Jan 16, 2008 9:23 pm

Not sure what time BC will be on Primetime. Probably between 5 and 6pm. Bob McCown says he's going to ask BC if Andrea was the right pick. I know it's early in AB's career and there's no reason to doubt him. But let's face it, he hasn't looked good this year. And BC and Maurizio are the guy who bet the table on him. Could be interesting if Bobcat doesn't chicken out.

Bobcat is the last guy that would chicken out. He's no Chuck.

And while I still think that BC is a great GM, he deserves to be criticized for Bargs. He clearly overestimated his ability.

Colangelo drafted a player to play center who has shown zero inclination towards the position, and has also apparently shown resistance to learning the position. Colangelo HAS to be held accountable for that.

Forget asking about Bargs, bad draft picks happen.

I want to know why DARRICK FREAKING MARTIN is still playing. Find us a god damn 3rd point guard who can play basketball.

Agreed.

I still think Bargs can be a good player in this league, but think he'll top out at Okur.

This is along with the fact that he seems to have big time effort, heart & toughness problems which makes me highly doubt his ability to reach his potential.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going and so far, I haven't seen any of that from Bargs. This is probably the most dissapointing thing for me. Not even his game, supposed weaknesses in defence & rebounding, but just his lack of passion & drive.

I do hope he proves me wrong, but I'm not expecting it.

Chuck's job is to represent the Raptors, and that's what he does, fairly well.

Bobcat's job is to get people to pay attention to him, and he also does it fairly well.

Chickening out has little to do with it.

I don't know what to think of Bargs anymore. I want him to succeed and I root for him, but you guys dampen my spirits on the matter. I want to be patient and give him time, but it's hard to argue in his favour right now because he is playing so poorly. I really don't know what to think.

my guess is Colangelo will pass on the question just saying bargnani was playing injured as an excuse for his suckiness

Bob McCowan is great and tells it like it is, but anyone who thinks BC is going to say: "You know what, Bob? You're right, it looks like we made the wrong pick" is out of their mind.
