Game 12 (TOR v. CHA) Nov 21: Raps look to Avoid Being Bitten by Cats

[Raps Insider 12]

Granted officiating has effected the outcome of several games.

Fact is good teams win despite officiating.

Raptors came out the gate with Bargnani struggling & Fields posting 2 ppg. Right now I can't say were a good team.

That said Bargnani is elevating his play & the chemistry is coming along. Casey needs to find a different solution to the 2 PG lineup.

Sessions was more than happy & predicted a win facing Calderon.

I hear ya.

What I am also concerned about the three guard line up:

Lowry/Calderon and DD, yes Lowry can hold his ground against the top guards of the league but against teams with 3 very good back court, considering that DD and Calderon are both defensively retarded, the team is screwed on most nights.

3 guard lineup, 2 PG it all stems from the problem at SF. Raptors should have never started the season with a struggling Fields. IMO, His lack of confidence infected the roster to kick off the season. Now everyone is pressing for solutions & to get back on track.

Forget playoffs, play hard leave it on the court one game at a time. Everything will fall into place if it's supposed to. (Rid the team of its expectations).

Didn't BC say that we could have gotten a top three pick but they wanted too much, and then we all concluded it was Barg's that was asked for lol Think about it now, MKG for Bargs.

damn.. i didn't see the end of the game.. just watched the highlights.. we had some damn good looks in that last 25 seconds..also looked like a couple fouls.. adds up to another heartbreaker. awesome.

IMO the biggest mistake down the stretch came from Lowry. Up 3 with less than 2 mins remaining & in the penalty Lowry jacked a deep 3 with time left on the clock.

This would've been the time to look for a foul.

MKG is great at the rim, on post ups & in transition. His shot is being reconstructed. He currently has no range.

Mullen's is a calculated roster fit for MKG as would Bargnani be. MKG is averaging 7 rpg from the wing, is a great man defender 2nd from the wing in shot blocking & is unselfish, which would compliment Bargnani's offense.

Would I trade Bargnani for MKG? yes but would have kept him if I could.

I don't know about you but i am completely done with Barg's. If he can't get his shot then he is worthless because he is below average in most aspects of the game. If your main player is not making his shots in a given game then he better be able to do something else, or at the very least not be a liability in so many other ways.

Don't expect people to share my opinion & given his start to the season, it's understandable.

is this dmf with a new account or is this just another kid trolling the raps forums?

Me too.

Don't stress too much guys, Bargs will reach his full potential in 4 years..(what we've all been saying ever since he's been drafting).

He really needs to get his **** together, especially on D. But that's asking too much, we honestly need to trade him, his defensive woes are killing this team.

[Freakazoid]

it was probably Val + our pick

It was probably Derozan+pick.

[DeRaptor95]

It was probably Derozan+pick.

Im pretty sure BC would pull the trigger on tht.

[Nick O]

jumping on free throws isnt illegal... its just really grade schoolish

[FutureGM]

it was probably Val + our pick

This for sure. Only two things on our roster with any sort of value.
