Speaking to the offense. Yes, he tried doing everything himself, yes, he took some bad shots, but that usually comes with being the guy. He will take 20+ shots a night. Regardless if he's being efficient or not, teams are going to watch him, teams are going to plan for him, and those shots made/missed will effect the game. He's also got a great attitude. Foul trouble against Denver, and hit a game-winner. Struggled in Indiana, come 4th quarter & overtime, he had 17 points plus his first game-winner as a Raptor.
He's also brought those non-measurable statistics to the team such as leadership, experience, and talent. You can tell the team has confidence and plays better with him. You talk about Gay not being able to perform/hit those game-winners if it wasn't for those guys? If Gay wasn't here, I don't think we could have beaten the Clippers, Pacers, Hornets, Knicks, or Nuggets without him. We wouldn't have been close to Miami - hell, we had a 10 point lead! - and Boston would have KILLED us if we didn't have someone make some big shots down the stretch. By the way, in those losses, he had his season high 29 vs. Miami, and 26 & 12 vs. Boston. In those games, we either didn't have enough, or everyone started relying on him.
