I know Andrea Bargnani was invisible offensively – his one shot was rather soundly rejected (a BA in the boxscore, I’m told) – but I imagine when they looked closely at the tape, it’ll be his defensive indifference that was the reason he never got back on the court after his horrid 4 1-2 minute stretch.

His first touch ended rather badly, what with an offensive foul and all, but a time or two back down the court right after that, he took his sweet time getting back and absolutely lost Troy Murphy in transition. A quick bucket made it all the more apparent that, for some reason, Bargnani’s head didn’t seem in the game.

It was a bad night all around. He’s got to be better.
