I was still not fully convinced that in the long run Derozan would be better playing alongside Rudy Gay and this game furthered that thought. Derozan looked like same guy he's been this year. Lots of iso ball, dribbling, and contested jumpers. Granted I guess you could say it's still early and they haven't played together much... BUT i'd still prefer Ross being there in tha starting lineup and DD getting shipped out for a big or a vet/high draft pick.
Amir is one of the most awesome, down to earth dudes on this team. The way he interacts with the fans in the city, goes to a lot of local gyms and events in Toronto. And he works hard on the court. He's the type of guy that you aren't really mad at even though you know they're making too much money.

Don't be saying nothing about him making too much money or he'll throw his mouth guard at you.
Well the hineymoon is over and this game confirms it: Bargnani and/or Derozan must be traded to eliminate the redundancies on this team and ensure that we never see Lucas and AA on the court at the same time EVER. Just because Pau's injured doesn't mean we can't make a deal (Pau wasn't a realistic target with Calderon gone anyway).
And for the love of Christ can Ross and JV get some minutes? It's official coach...we're not making the playoffs. If we're stuck with BC can he at least fire Casey in an attempt to pass the blame once more? A defensive specialist who's team plays none and has piss poor rotations and tactics is worthless.

Wouldn't mind McMillan or Van Gundy. Someone with a notable name who has an ounce of ability when it comes to play calling. The end of that game was downright ugly with Dwane Casey drawing up the X's & O's.
Still can't rebound worth shit. Got abused by Garnett in the post.
If it were my decision, I'd have a simple rule for Bargnani- if you don't get 2 rebounds in this quarter (which should be easy, right?), you're not playing in the next one, no matter what else you do. Probably wouldn't motivate him, nothing does, but at least it would limit his playing time.
