It's painful right now. With Fred VanVleet sidelined, there is not a single team in the NBA that has less reliable guard production than the Raptors. Ironically, as william_lou writes, it's a feature rather than a failure of their team design.

Six -- Barnes' inexperience showed more on defence, where he is overeager.

For example, Siakam was visibly confused by Barnes' decision to abandon the weakside shooter, help all the way across the lane on a post up where Khem Birch had good position against, who simply threw it to Barnes' man for the three to force a timeout.

Where he struggled was creating from the post, where the Raptors were able to bump him and keep him from taking a steady attempt. Barnes also scored over Mobley on two instances, using his strength to muscle to get to his spot ahead of Mobley who was forced to take the foul. But then again, Mobley also swatted Barnes' attempt at a midrange jumper without even needing to leave the ground.

Painful gas prices continueGas prices are expected to hit a record high on Sunday. And all of the pain attributable to oil and gas industry. Prices per barrel set but a foreign cartel. A ridiculously profitable Industry still subsidized by Canadian taxpayer’s $$$ to the tune of about $240,000 for every O&G in Canada. We need to stop the corporate welfare. Apparently the stupid taxes are accomplishing nothing more than driving up prices everywhere! plugin

Canadian team makeup reflects gender gap at Beijing Paralympic Games | CBC SportsA gaping gender gap in Winter Paralympic Games continues with Canada's team reflecting that imbalance. What a stupid commentary. Maybe root cause is that there are more males who become parolympians because of previous injury from risky behaviour that males are more prone to. The rest are probably pregnant or working three jobs to avoid going to the gym. Female athletes were way overrepresented on the podium, where they made up about 50%. Female athletes twice as likely to receive medals.
