First time I've been able to catch any Raptors action since their game against Dallas and I come home from class to find them down by 14.

 

Bayless has hit two nice 3's to cut the lead to 14. Good to see him getting his touch from deep back as last I saw he was shooting horribly from distance.

 

I think they mentioned DeRozan has 12 points, which is nice to see. All I've seen from him thus far is an 18 footer which he buried. Good to see that he is still scoring well even with the return of Bargnani and Bayless. It is a small sample size, though.

I started watching this game with about 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and I think I saw DeRozan get about 5 touches on offense, 2 of which were late clock scenarios where he was forced to take an ill-advised shot or pass.

 

Absolutely pathetic.

 

He finished with 18/4/3 on 7-14 shooting, but from what I saw he was completely ignored on offense. Part of that is his fault for not being aggressive enough, but it is a joke how ignored he is on offense considering he is the 2nd best scorer on this team and is the most important player on their roster for the future. There is no excuse for him not to get ample touches in the 2nd half of a 20 point game, especially when he seemed to be playing well offensively (outside of his 5 turnovers).

Barbosa takes 1 more shot in like 8 less minutes, what a joke.

 

Bargnani comes back and we get torched defensively. If that isn't a god damn hint to management I don't know what is, he was also a team low -21. Even the announcers were talking about how it is Bargnani's responsibility to play defense as well as offense, after how solid our D was while he was out.

 

Also I was very impressed with the game Bayless poured in. Just a solid 11 point 8 assist effort while owning turning it over twice, not to mention the injury he is battling. These are the types of games from a young PG that are encouraging to me.
