One could argue Andrea Bargnani was the face of the Toronto Raptors for seven years. That’s both good and bad for Raptors fans. While some loved the big man around, others seemed to be done with him. Either way, he was shipped off the New York during the offseason.
Raptors coach Dwane Casey doesn’t seem to think Raptors fans will be happy to see Andrea back in town donning a new uniform. It will be interesting indeed when the Knicks play in Toronto on Friday night.
“He should probably put on ear plugs,” Casey joked with reporters, anticipating plenty of Toronto boo birds at Friday’s game.
“They can boo (Bargnani) all they want to now,” Casey said. “Fans are going to do what they’re going to do.”
With the way things ended in Toronto for Bargnani, it’s not a shock Raptor fans will let him hear it, and his teammates know it as well.
