Bayless is just jacking it up the minute he touches the ball. 4 shots in 6 minutes for him and would be 5 if not for a turnover.

 

DeRozan with a solid start hitting two threes, one from each corner. He hasn't really gotten any other touches on offense, aside from a bailout jumper at the end of the shot clock.

Bayless doing a nice job finding DeRozan for some in rythym jumpers. The pass is coming at the right time and in the perfect spot for DeRozan to just catch and go up without having to think about anything and it is showing. He has missed just one shot so far where he was able to catch and go straight up.

 

Nice pass from Bayless to Davis. Drove into the paint, drew the defense and found Davis after everybody, myself included, thought he was going to pass it to DeRozan in the corner. Bayless has done a much better job of running the offense since coming back into the game. He was way too shot happy to start the game but has settled down nicely.

When Calderon gets tired he really pounds the rock out there, which is saying something considering he is brutal at it to begin with.

 

You can really see when he gets tired, though. He just stands around doing next to nothing, pounding the ball and pounding the ball. These last few possessions have been brutal with his over dribbling.

 

He also tends to make some really stupid decisions with the ball as well. An example of that is the last possession where he passes the ball to Ed Davis 21 feet away from the basket with 2 seconds left on the clock. Know who you are passing to.

 

PS: Rasual Butler, you [expletive]ing suck! Seriously, he may be the worst player in the league.

This is a classic example of how stats are misleading.

 

Calderon got 15 assists in this game. Looks like he had a fantastic game but really, he was brutal out there. Constant over dribbling, no penetration, terrible shooting and the offense was very stagnant with him on the floor.

 

I'd be willing to bet that a vast majority of his assists came in late clock situations or him dumping the ball off to a teammate who would make a move and get credited with an assist (such as a Kleiza pass where Linas caught the ball, spun off his man and hit a fadeaway).

 

His impact on the game wasn't even close to what the 15 assists suggest it was.

 

I just hope that some GM is suckered into believing that his numbers are an accurate representation of his play and gives the Raptors something of value for him.
