A nothing burger but it popped up on my youtube home screen and for nostalgic purposes, I have to post it:
Didn't want to post in Raps talk because of the OG trade;

Man, that's a throwback. I wonder if Triano broke a clipboard that game.

Feels weird watching that. So many years of watching Bargnani sleepwalk, refuse to go for rebounds unless they fell directly into his lap, etc., hard to remember a time when he'd actually scrap for a loose ball and get physical. Back then he'd have enough plays here and there you could still convince yourself he was a late blooming Nowitzki type.

Bargnani was extra frustrating because every once in a while, he'd get really motivated and play very well. Iirc, he had several solid showings vs. Shaq. But he'd only give you a glimpse ... then he was back to eating pasta and not caring.

Bargnani was frustrating to me because his career arc was managed by people who were unimaginative. He was an original stretch big who was drafted and then spent their time training him to play in the post negating his whole purpose.

Could have had Bargnani and Bosh shooting 3s and spreading the floor, giving DeRozan more room to operate in the post...
