Agree.  I want to see a healthy Lowry on the floor without AB.

Best way for that is to have Lowry back-up Jose.

If anyone can get AB playing well again it is Jose.

The Raptors have now won two with Lowry back, and that much publicized "the Raptors are 11 points per 100 possessions better without him" number has already been reduced to 4.5 points(and that was before the Magic game).  I think Lowry is going to work out just fine.

So is there any doubt that Bargnani is a huge problem now?  I think he's really the only variable left.  They've won with Fields back.  They've won with Lowry back.  They won before Jonas went down with his injury.  The only difference left is Bargnani, right?

You know that they lost to three of those teams with Bargnani right?




Well no, "knowing things" isn't really your thing.

what the word "tank" says to you?
Aside from a Nowitzki-less Dallas,and a Houston team that as beaten with Alan Anderson as best scorer with 24 points(a thing that is not going to repeat often),Toronto beat teams in tank mode
but I guess this is a non-relevant factor,no?

They beat them in tank mode(allegedly).....without Bargnani.

WITH Bargnani, they lose to teams in tank mode.

So what's your point?

Just be loud and proud oscar. Say it - the raptors are doing better now they need bargani back to improve even more. They need Bargnani back to take minutes back from Amir and Davis because they spend too much time grinding and banging in the paint and dont make the opposing team spread out their defense. Oh and describe how the team needs a pf who shoots threes because the team needs a 3 point shooter.
