He made the big basket when his team needed it most, helping the Raptors ward off a potentially crippling San Antonio comeback.

More impressively, he eclipsed Vince Carter as the highest scorer in team history and then, as expected, dominated the post-game locker room. All of it was richly deserved.

But there was another of the Raptor bigs who had a pretty big Sunday night himself, the kind of night that speaks to what could be if he could just bottle it and bring it out on a consistent basis.

Andrea Bargnani’s night didn’t make headlines like Bosh’s, but it was a headline-worthy night just the same.

The fourth-year Raptor has had headline-worthy nights before but this one was different.

This time, it wasn’t just his offensive numbers that jumped off the post-game scoresheet, although those weren’t inconsequential either — 15 points on a night when scoring was hard to come by.

The number that jumped off the page Sunday night was the five blocks Bargnani had.

Combine that with the fact that much of the night he was defending perennial all-star Tim Duncan and you have to wonder if Bargnani has reached a turning point in his career.

The five blocks mark only the fourth time in his career he has reached those heights, but that wasn’t the only reason for optimism.

Raptors head coach Jay Triano appears to have decided it is time to put a little more on Bargnani’s plate as well, another sign that the big Italian is progressing.

Big minutes

Triano has had him on the floor for more than 40 minutes in four consecutive games. In those games, Bargnani has averaged 20 points and 5.5 rebounds.

Even better, the once seen-but-rarely-heard Bargnani seems to have turned over a new leaf.

Suddenly he has become a very vocal presence on the floor, particularly at the defensive end.

And this has been going on for a while. Numerous times over the past couple of weeks, Bargnani could be heard barking out coming screens and picks for guards in front of him while keeping his own opposite as far away from the basket as possible.

And when those screens and picks have impeded his guards, Bargnani has flashed out from beside the pick to force the quicker and more agile opposing guards to take a longer path to the basket, allowing his own guards time to recover and switch back on to their own man.

Previously, all the talk on the defensive end was being done by the trio of Bosh, Jarrett Jack and Antoine Wright, but lately Bargnani’s voice has been just as dominant.

When Bargnani’s newfound habit was mentioned to Triano about a week ago, the Raptors head coach shook his head and muttered something that sounded an awful lot like “Finally.”

Clearly the team has been on him to step up and Bargnani appears to be doing just that.

Bargnani and the rest of the Raptors were up early for a flight to Florida and they’ll be back to work today preparing for the ultimate test in opposing big men in the Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard.

Between the two of them, Bosh and Bargnani will have their hands full.

Ma MOLTO peggio, cambiano idea ogni due giorni e soprattutto non sanno nemmeno cosa siano le mezze misure. Fino a due settimane fa, prima del filotto di vittorie dei Raptors, Bargnani era il cancro difensivo della squadra e si era tornati a chiedere la trade...

folas praticamente dice che andrea è un leader nei momenti che contano difensivamente soprattutto e inaspettatamente vocalmente e quindi si fa senitre in campo almeno in difesa

Clutch stats from 82games

Hedo: .294 FG%, .353 eFG%
Bosh: .400 FG%, .400 eFG%
Bargs: .632 FG%, .763 eFG%

Statistiche prese da realgm. C'è poco da aggiungere, Andrea sarà pure troppo tranquillo in campo come aggressività e capacità di andare in trans-agonistica, ma ne guadagna in freddezza.

trans-agonistica

Si,quella che piace a Lapo e Marrazzo

arbitraggio a dir poco scandaloso...mago mi sa che anche oggi ha 1 poco tappezzato un grande, ieri duncan oggi howard domani shaq

l'arbitraggio è stato una sorta di meretricio.


Il black out dei Raptors nell'ultimo quarto ci ha regalato un po' di emozioni, ma dove cazzo era finito Bosh! sciolto come un pupazzo di neve al sole.

Sbaglio o il ragazzone numero 7 sta cominciando a difendere?? In due partite consecutive ha tenuto testa ad un certo sig Duncan e ad un certo Howard ( le 2 stoppate sono state da salto sulla sedia!!!! io la seconda la conto perchè il fallo non esisteva, ha preso solo la palla ) in attacco ha fatto 18 punto in tranquillità e in più ha messo le 2 bombe consecutive nel 4° con una tranquillità glaciale!!!

Grande, finalmente ore buttate di sonno per un valido motivo!!!!

Il Bargnani delle ultime due partite per me è il miglior Bargnani da quando calca i campi NBA, pazienza i 6 falli, il tirare sotto il 50%, se Andrea difende con continuità come ha fatto nelle ultime due uscite diventerà un grandissimo. Stanotte non è mai andato sotto contro Howard ed anzi è stato evidentemente penalizzato da dei fischi assurdi (una stoppata pulitissima su Dwight trasformata in fallo), spero solo che dimostri questa attitudine con continuità, sarebbe un enorme passo avanti per la sua crescita di giocatore. Bravo Andrea.

Quoto, ovviamente. E spero che abbia voglia di continuare a fare progressi, perchè se impara a difendere bene con continuità il giorno che diventerà la prima opzione offensiva della sua squadra avremo per le mani un giocatore di altissimo livello.

mamma mia che schifo di falli hanno fischiato al mago! una cosa orribile! quello della stoppata poi! pensavo di giustificarlo conl'altra mano che magari spingeva, ma niente! era perfettamente in posizione...
Shaq domani schiatta...

Mi è sembrata una discreta partita ieri sera...certo poteva impegnarsi un pò di +
Soffre un pò Howard (chi è che nn lo soffre) ma se ci fossero degli arbitri + imparziali ieri sera avrebbe superato i 20 senza problemi...bellissime entrambe le stoppate se continua così qualcuno abbandonerà italianbasket
volevo ricordare anche le 9 perse di superman
