I spent quite a few words on the booing of Andrea Bargnani in my “Thoughts On the Game” post on Friday night, but with Kyle Lowry tweeting in support of Bargnani and against the booing from the home crowd, I feel somewhat obliged to address the issue again in its entirety.
I love our fans to death , but booing one of our playersisn’t cool and it should NOT be done!! Hopefully next game it won’t happen!!

The Raptors were tested late after blowing another fourth quarter lead, but they responded in impressive fashion to win their sixth game in the last seven outings.
Here are some thoughts on the game…
With Family Day here in Ontario interrupting our usual Monday schedule, we decided to postpone our weekly podcast until Trade Deadline Day. And what do you know, Bryan Colangelo and the Basketball Gods rewarded us with something to talk about in the form of a Sebastian Telfair blockbuster!
In all seriousness though, the minor deal does address a need, and in this week’s edition of RaptorBlog Radio, we touch on that. In addition, Drew, Oliver and I discuss the playoff race, Andrea Bargnani still being here, Terrence Ross’ dunk contest title and Friday night’s upcoming game against the Knicks.
It was an ugly ball game and the Raptors beat a team that’s more than 20 games under .500, but the Wizards had been playing very well of late and the victory makes it five straight for the Raps while giving Toronto its first three-game road winning streak since 2007 and its first win in Washington since 2009.
Here are some thoughts on the game…
Andrea Bargnani at the All-Star festivities in Houston…just not doing All-Star things
With the plethora of rumours and reports linking him to various teams, everyone just assumed that by Thursday’s trade deadline, Andrea Bargnani’s tumultuous time in Toronto would have mercifully come to an end, also bringing about the end of the Primo Pasta and Sauce commercials we’ve been subject to for the last few years.
Unfortunately for those fans, it sounds like we may have to wait a while longer…
