2 sports teams fans in T.O fell in love with 2 guys named Lowry and Lawrie who both play all out but with that comes DL stints

That is true but Bargs gained his weight cause inactivity during the summer ie inactivity means out of shape . I am not saying he is fat or over weight I am saying he came to camp 15 pounds heavier which was the result of inactivity . His shot is flat which I contribute to fatigue cause he is exhuasted faster .

Looking how Bargs has started this season . Extra weight no problem anymore ?

It's Oct 31st which means Holloween and What to do with DeRozan ? James Harden has been in the news lately but since DeRozan is in the same draft class as Harden , the question has to be asked to Colengelo and Raptor Fans . DeRozan extension ya or nay and how much $$$ money would you write the chq for to keep him ?

Nets are one injury away from becoming a lottery team again .

The B.S Report with Bill Simmons has got the Raps winning more then the 33 wins which is the Vagas line on the Raps ... Every year before the season starts Bill has a podcast and uses the Vagas lines to have a podcast and he gives his opinion on if the team will win more then the line or less . Often he is negative toward the Raps ie he goes with the fact they will lose more then what Vagas is saying but this year he is positive and he pics the Raps as one of the locks that they will go over . http://espn.go.com/espnradio/podcast/archive?id=2864045

He is 15 pounds more then his normal playing weight . They tried to say he add " bulk " but looking at his play it seems it's not bulk .

If he was a traditional big man who just sat in the post and got his points under the basket I would say your right who cares . Wow have we lost all perspective here ? A guy is getting paid 11 million dollars and he can't come into camp in peak condition . You look at any sucessful team and you will see a simple formula which is " when your best players are your hardest workers on and off the court then you will see sucess "

Andrea Bargnani has not looked right in Toronto’s first two pre-season contests and he blames fatigue . That is a pretty way of saying that I came into camp out of shape http://www.torontosun.com/2012/10/11/raptors-bargnani-blames-struggles-on-fatique

Former Toronto Raptors Head Coach Sam Mitchell vehemently denied a story Jalen Rose detailed in his piece for Grantland, whereby the former Raptor player stated Mitchell and Vince Carter got into a physical altercation before the Raptors were set to take on the Portland Trail Blazers in the team's seventh game of the 2004-05 season. Listen now: Sam Mitchell with Tim Micallef and Sid Seixeiro http://www.sportsnet.ca/590/2012/10/12/nba_toronto_raptors_sam_mitchell_w_tim_micallef_and_sid_seixeiro/

Toronto Raptors hire former Los Angeles Lakers athletic coordinator Alex McKechnie – NBA News On Thursday, the Toronto Raptors officially announced the hiring of the renowned physical trainer Alex McKechnie, who was previously the athletic performance coordinator for the Los Angeles Lakers. You would think the Raps wouldn't have these type of injuries with a guy like Alex McKechnie in the fold ?

Aandrea Bargnani well rested and 15 pounds bulked up was the headline .. My question is ? Is that a nice way of saying didn't train much and gained 15 pounds cause Andrea looked slow with no jump last night

I hope it was just rust but Bargs looked like his feet were in quick sand .

After watching him in game action . I ask myself did he come into came bulked up 15 pounds or 15 pounds overweight ? He looked so rusty and had no jump in his legs .

Just wondering on a 7 foot frame is 15 pounds really that much ? Bargs has a thick body frame ( unlike Bosh ) and will never be asked to pose for Men's Health .
