Raptors Roll Call March 13 vs Warriors
Want to get stuff off your chest? Head over to our forums and talk to the best minds on the ‘net.
Bargnani - Bad start to the game, but came back and played himself into a good one. He was 0fer in the first 7 minutes, but ended up with 14pts. Wasn’t overly agressive, which was a shame since I think he could have drawn some fouls by attacking the rim.
Calderon - He rattled a 3pter off the rim and had a made one called off due to a Rasho foul, so his line would have looked better with those extra 6 points. Overall not as bad as his play in LA, but still not the real Jose.
Delfino - Man, talk about horrible D. Again, broken record time, but I can’t see how Kapono is worse than this guy. Sweet dunk and one of the ugliest stink faces ever shown on a court….so, there are two good things.
Ford - I swear I saw him call a play and actually pass the ball in the fourth. Seriously. Yes, he did look for his own shot basically the rest of the quarter, but our guys weren’t moving anyway. Good game.
Humphries - Great hustle points, but horrendous on defence. Maybe as poorly as I’ve seen him play in that regard all season. Disappointing.
Kapono - He was +12. And ummm….
Moon - Good effort tonight. Yes he happened to be right place/right time on a few plays defensively, but he also blocked some shots down low without coming off the weakside. Again, only 5 shots. I’m wondering if he is listening to his critics or if Sam has told him to back off. Still not driving to the hoop.
Nesterovic - Felt badly for the old warhorse. He was dying out there. I half expected someone to hit him with a tranq dart and see the trainer pull him off the court like a wounded bear. He must have dreaded this game, knowing they were going to make him run. Big dropoff from his last few games, but he has earned a pass.
Parker - 22pts 9reb 1 turnover. All summer development leagues in Ontario should be taping these games, isolating Parker and playing them back to kids telling them that this is the way you play ball.

Parker has been driving the bus for 3 games in a row… maybe we should give him a better nickname than AP…
…like… Mr. Bus Driver?

AP is definitely the guy taking the team to school.
