I was at the game tonight, and Bosh seemed to really be giving it to Bargs. Not that Bargs didnt deserve it - he played horrible D.

But there were 2 instances I saw. Once, after Bargnani fouled a Hawk as he made the bucket for an and-1, Bosh snapped and yelled in frustration at Bargs. It looked like he was lecturing Bargs that if hes gonna foul, foul hard so he doesnt make the bucket.

But then, a few minutes later in the game, Bargs appeared to be playing more bad defense, and the Hawks made a big bucket and Mitchell called a timeout. Bosh went running towards the Raptors bench, and was yelling/screaming at Mitchell. It looked like he was yelling at Mitchell about how badly Bargs was playing. Mitchell walked away to huddle with the coaches while Bosh cooled off. Bargs hit the bench after that and didnt play again.

It appeared to me that Bosh was expressing to Mitchell some frustration at being on the court at the same time as Bargs. I was shocked that he would freak out at Sam like that though.

Tonight, Bargs played like crap.

TJ played like crap.

Oh, if we didnt trade CV, and instead traded our #1 pick down...if we could have got say, another lottery pick + a mid 1st round pick for our #1 and #2, for example...we would still have CV, could run with Calderon at the PG position, and could have M. Williams as our backup PG, and the other lottery pick could have been Gay or something.

I know its early but it appears that Bosh doesn't like playing with Bargs...plus TJ's been crap, so I'm having regrets.

I think Bosh is forgetting that he was a rookie at one point too. Furthermore Bargs strikes me as a project, hopefully I'm wrong.

pay discrepency is a killer.

Bosh and Mo are the leaders of the team your suppost to jump on your teamates when they are doing poor on the court anybody remember Mo jumping on Jose last year?

Nothing wrong with Bosh trying to fire up Bargs defensively by getting on him a bit. But whining to the coach about him is WEAK and I hope that didn't happen.

Bosh has been a horrible defender in the nba until this season. He seems to have really picked up his intensity and is blocking more shots and rebounding better than ever. Give Bargs some time to adjust too.

Bargs footwork is actually pretty good, but he lowers his arms too much and makes it an easy call for the refs. If he was vertical both those fouls may not have been called. Sam had to take him out because the Hawks were going right at him.

Although it's good for Bosh to try to fire up his teammates, I think he seems to be forgetting that a few years ago, he was a rookie too and sometimes when you're a rook, you tend to have calls going against you that wouldn't be called if you weren't a rookie. But IMO, he shouldnt be snapping and blowing up at Bargs. Just pull him off to one side, explain what he should be doing, and see what happens from there. And if he's yelling and complaining about his teammate to his coaches, that's not being a good leader at all. Leave the coaching and the personnel decisions to the coaching staff, and just go out there and try to make it work. If Bosh is going to be a leader, he can't just single out one player for playing bad. There were other Raptor players last night who weren't doing such a great job either.

i love the fact that he's getting in players faces.

but the funny thing is.. bosh is a horrid defender. he should improve before he criticizes teammates on it.

It seems to be a pattern in the raps to yell at Gnani, maybe they know something we don't? Maybe that's the way we know to motivate him?

you cant blame bosh for expecting bargnani to at least play decent, after all, he was the #1 pick in the 2006 NBA DRAFT.

Someone needs to get in the face of the not-so-great-garbo horrid give-away terrible shot select. Brutal brutal play I never thought he would play this bad for this long.

barnani another hoffa? I dont think so.

Barnani another Nikoloz Tskitishvili? Most probably.

Those Dirk and Pau compairsons were stupid. When those two game in the league they didnt look confused, and lost on the court.
