Our "core" is Bosh, Bargnani, Calderon, and TJ, the rest of them are supporting pieces.
The point was that the team isn't going to get much better simply by playing together longer, at least not nearly as much improvement as last year when you look at the difference from November to February. If we just ride this out, we are counting on the team to go on a bit of a lucky stretch and perhaps finishing 5 games above .500 at the most. It is not satisfactory considering the steps we made last season imo.
If Bargnani is going to start, he needs to rebound, period. If you play 30 minutes a game as a starting center and gets 1 or 2 rebounds, you're a liability to the team even if you score 20 points.
