Scottie Barnes PG
FVV SG
OG SF

Scottie/Dragic
FVV/GTJ
OG/Yuta
Pascal/Boucher
Precious/Khem

it has to be the rotation, right?

scottie too hottie already best player on the team 2 games into his nba career. Giannis and magic love child. Our defense and length alone gonna win us bunch of games, if we ever get any kinda offensive game going we are making the playoffs easy. Siakam needs to come back so that OG can go back to defending he aint meant to be a scorer. Precious is another gem, wait till he stops forcing it and settles down a bit....hoooo man

Raptors looked another level of athletic against the Celtics. Precious and Scottie looked great.

He's not Magic Johnson but Scottie seriously had an effect that reminded me something of that.

OG always shot as a catch & shoot player, now he's trying to create off the dribble and it's been an ugly disaster

He will go back to being a shooter once Siakam comes back.

He’s going to be the teams starting SG when Siakam comes back anyways.

Nurse is gonna overcomplicate it guaranteed. That would be best scenario but it took him 6 Gamez to finally bench dragic

*1 regular season game. Lol

First time in a while I saw Baaston get handled like that.. their length was nothing compared to ours and
Scal kept praising Barnes all game, he loves his game.

Scal also mentioned whenever FVV got the ball, it stopped moving.. pretty funny hearing that from an outsider but this was a feel good win and we don't even have Siakam.

It wont be like this all the time and we have ways to go offensively when things aren't going our way but proud of our young guys.

Who tf is scal? And why do we care about his opinion?

“I watched Magic Johnson a lot,” Barnes said last week. “Highlights, Instagram. You see how much of a great point guard he was, how he could find people, get them shots, how flashy he was. Just what he brought to the game. He played with so much excitement. You could see the smile and joy on his face. That’s something I got, smile and joy and bring a lot of fun and passion to the game.

ya right, put some respek

OG was an absolute monster on defense - he got to the line - earning fouls for the team, and had a demoralizing dunk against brown

Yeah, OG played more within himself tonight. It's good that's he's not pressing and hijacking the offense.

I don't know what you watched tonight. OG was forcing way too much. 4/18 with wide array of terrible shots that he can't make.

Offensively for sure. But his defense wasn’t affected thank goodness. A lot of players let their offensive game dictate their defense. OG will start hitting shots, and it’s obvious he’s pressing. Needs to relax and let the game come to him. He’s getting decent looks. I think he’s also trying to get to the line more which may result in ugly drives lol.

At least he held Brown to a very bad night as well after seeing Brown go for 46 points the other night.

The only people that look stupid are the people that keep hyping him up as the next kawho type... accept him for who he is as an elite 3cand d guy and leave it at that.... most of the hate on this board comes when guys start overhyping ertain players and failing to recognize the strengths of others...
Get out of here with that BS. OG was the 4th option last season and people were calling for his head after a few weeks when he started off the season 9/36 on 3FGA then he quickly turned it around and shot 42% behind the arc for the rest of the year.

No one is seriously calling him the next Kawhi, but he's going to be more than a 3+D player. He already WAS more than a 3+D player last season when he scored 16 PPG on 60 TS% while being a top 5 wing defender in the league.

Stop putting unreleastic expectations on players.... learn to actually watch them play and assess their skillset.... all of ogs moves are telegraphed and have no chance.... he gets blocked all the time because he's our of control and uncoordinated... guys that can be counted on to score dodon'look as bad as og... it's one things to have a bad shooting night it's another to just look like you don't know what youre doing... that's the difference.

Og is best when he keeps things simple... cut and dunk. Catch and shoot. Post up and dunk... hes not a creator or a guy you cn give the ball to and let him go to work. He doesn't have the skillset for it... therefore he's a 3 ND d guy... again that's fine... everyone gets angry because their favorite players have limitations. And can't accept that not everyone is gonna develop into a star...

Scottie barneacalready looks more fluid than og as a rookie... that's just natural skills that have been developed and harnessed from a young age... og doesn't have that coordination. If is what it is

yeah you laugh because you have nothing to say and don't knowxwhat you're talking about... what are you gonna even argue against what I said? You think og has a scorers game and can create offense for himself consistently? Again you're absolutely wrong.
