And to think, the Bulls used our pick to draft Noah. Who knows, we might have chosen him, as well. It actually worked well we got the 23rd pick.
Raptors have no defense whatsoever. And they don't have enough offense to do what New York does and just outscore you and not defend. BUT, I would like to mention Kapono's play today. He did more catch and shoot and took less pull up jumpers, and shot pretty well. Should probably stick to that since he's a much better catch and shoot guy.
Are you guys down for using this same thread for the next game against the Knicks? I can post some brief game info, but I think we know the matchups and whatnot pretty well now.
the raps go on their biggest run of the game with roko in the game and traino decides to tap into that genius gene of his and bring in caledron to give it all back.
Bargnani played awesomely. Marion's looking more and more like the glue guy this team needs. Very encouraging game.
Just got back from the game, it was a good one. Marion with an awesome game and Bargnani & Parker were fucking monsters.
u fucking optimist!!! bargnani had big numbers offensively but al harrington lit him up like a christmas tree on the other end. marion looked like a good but not great, overpaid player so in other words he fit in perfectly on this collection of losers. and encouraging, kinda like the encouragement i get when i beat my 14 year old cousin one on one who suffers from a serious handicap.
I chalk the first point up to a coaching mistake. Bosh was pushed under the basket everytime David Lee made a move to score and Bargnani could not keep up with Harrington's speed. Logic necessitates re-arranging your defense to address those deficiencies. Put the stronger, taller post defender on Lee and the laterally quicker forward on Harrington. And yet Triano did jackshit. And anyways, you're glossing over Bargs' game. He had big numbers offensively, but also in stark contrast to his norm. I don't think he's ever gotten to the free throw line 12 times in one game. Andrea showed an improved ability to put the ball on the floor today. And his rebounding/shotblocking were commendable. There's no doubt Marion's overpaid, but if you consider him worth re-signing (and I'm leaning that way), then you have to acknowledge that he's due for a considerable paycut this offseason. He's slowed since his prime, but the dude is still an excellent small forward. The only glaring weakness in his game is his inability to create for himself, but ideally you'd address that at the SG spot (by finding someone better than AP).
