Sħãlïq™ Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Didn't get to see the game today, but was following it by iPhone. Good bounce back game from the debacle on Friday (which I witnessed in person). It was nice to see that the team got up and never really relinquished the lead. Nice to hear DJ was huge after having what was, IMO, a pretty sub-par game against the Wolves. He really was a non-factor in that game, but came up big hear. And I liked that, at least from the stat line, it looked like Billups was trying to be more of a distributor in this game than a scorer. I think that's how he needs to play -- especially when CP3's not playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I don't even know why I subject myself to the torture that is watching Raptors games. Without Bargnani in the lineup there is absolutely no reason to watch this team. DeRozan sucks, Davis is useless, Johnson picks up 2 fouls right away so that he can sit out the rest of the first half and Bayless is proving with every passing game that he is not a point guard. I think I really, really overestimated the young core of this team. Or maybe I am just overreacting to a poor start to a condensed season. I don't really know at this point but what I have seen from this team so far is far from encouraging when I think think of the Raptors future. They are looking like they have basically nothing heading forward other than Valanciunas, a good backup big man in Amir and possibly a high scoring power forward in Bargnani. If DeRozan and Davis continue to play like this, they are both 8th or 9th men at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sħãlïq™ Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) ^ LB, whom you hate so much, scored 19 pts off the bench. Him and Linas Klezia(16) outscored Toronto's starting five. Edited January 24, 2012 by Šhãłïq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I don't hate Barbosa. He is just completely pointless on this team. He is valuable to a contender, but on a young team in the midst of a rebuild, having a near 30 year old gunner off of the bench who literally passes the ball about 3 times a game is pointless. The Raptor players basically stop moving once he touches the ball because they know he isn't giving it up. He can score the ball but he is useless on this team, especially when the Raptors have a younger version of him in Bayless, although Bayless isn't as much of a blackhole. Also, outscoring a starting unit that consists of a Jose Calderon, DeMar DeRozan, James Johnson, Ed Davis and Amir Johnson is hardly anything special.
