It's not like Calderon cause the PG controversy this time,it was Lowry with his poor level of play and Casey that didn't put faith in Ross to give him more minutes(that Lowry get at 2 with poor results for the team because of the unbalanced line-up)
Calderon is a "known card",you know what he cand do and what he can't do,both offensively and defensively,and is a meter of comparison for the other PG.If you are doing worse than Calderon,and you should be a starting Pg,something isn't going well
Btw,with all this Bargnani controversy,no one noticed that one of the reason why Toronto is coming back to win,is the return from the injury of Alan Anderson at SF,who bring defense,and in the last two games a pretty good scoring contribution too
Can you just stop? and STFU while you're at it?
It's not funny, it's not even trolling, it's just complete and utter stupidity.
Anderson was in the lineup before the Bargnani injury and team struggled. Bargnani's +/- ratings clearly shows the team is better without him. Anderson is not a big difference maker in all honesty either, still has a poor PER and still a complete scrub.
It's clear the team rotates far better defensively without Bargnani, who is a very poor help defender. Down the stretch the games the team is executing far better, while with Bargnani it was a clog in the offense where once he had the ball, he would not pass the ball.
I'm not even sure why you even bother justifying Bargnani and his performance this season. All you're really doing is exposing how much of a f'n tool you are. It's just so blatanly obvious how well we're doing, and you continue to try and defend him.
AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE? Everyone on this side of the forum is tuning you and your opinions out. At this point, you might as well not even post. No one f'n cares, and I can't speak for anyone else, but just cut it out. It's annoying.
I don't posters defending their players, but you give so many stupid and empty supporting arguments. It's unanimously known amongst Raptor fans that Bargs needs to go because he doesn't fit on this team.
He's a hog offensively and looks for his own shot too many times, he doesn't make any of his teammates better, this is a fact. He's a blackhole offensively. What does Bargnani bring to the table? Nothing. His offense is among one of the most inefficient in the league, he takes a lot of shots to get a lot of points.
And to try and defend him by saying Alan Anderson is the reason we're doing well? FOH.
And btw, you *** idiot. You can't blame "Lowry's poor level of play" for this PG controversey. Lowry had a rough few games coming back from injury but for the most part has played great all season long. We're talking about a guy who really values the concept of playing as a team, and it shows on the court.
Out of the 3 games I've seen the Raptors play live this year, I have not seen anyone else on the team who consults his teammates more than Lowry. He communicates with them when he's on the bench, telling them where to go on defense. I remember in the early goings in the season how much Lowry was trying to help out Terrence Ross, a rookie, who just had back to back turnovers and Lowry was really keeping his confidence up. Lowry is a leader, just like Jose. Also, to say the PG controversy is not because of Jose's play is stupid too. 2 triple doubles? Playing arguably the best basketball of his career during this stretch? And you don't attribute any of this to Jose's success?
Point is, Lowry and Jose are two leaders of this team with how they command the respect of the team. It's why I don't like the two PG lineup, one it's undersize, and havng 2 floor generals doesn't work. Of course I'd rather keep Lowry. He's the best player on the team, and among one of the better PGs defensively.
