the raptors, as a team, play better when fred is off ball.

looking at the quickness of Myles Turner on those blocks...a frontline of Barnes|Siakam|Turner with OG and FVV in the backcourt could shutdown the league, you know

Tonight he is not over dribbling and killing the shot clock, that's the difference.

Replace FVV with Banton and that's a scary team

In terms of physical strength at the same age Scottie>>LeBron/Kawhi.

His drives have been decent as well - clearly beats his man, if he wasn't 6'-0" he wouldn't have got blocked.

Ok, so a little older. Still think he has a ton of potential. Definitely see the Shaun Livingston comps.

Og with third straight great game... good to see. Fred playing better... need Trent to start making threes...

ADOBE and Barnes gotta stay out of any foul trouble in the second half.

The refs are coming.

Because he not the one handling the ball or barely today. I've always said this about FVV he need to focus mainly on catch and shoot

all he has to do is get a 3 point shot. that makes him a starter with his attack ability, defense and height.

Banton is Shun Livingston.

it is imperative that Dragic starts performing at some point. Looking at how the offense stalled with the bench on the court, FLynn and his 3s make sense to use if Dragic is headed for that DNP-CD

I miss high paced siakam and Jakob. Hopefully siakam / Barnes and precious will get to that level

Barnes has made at least one jump shot every game so far. Wonder if the streak ends tonight.

edit: NVM, he didn't make one in the wizards game.

On one of Scotties drives to the basket he looked exactly like Giannis. It looks like he is so big he can just score using his strength and speed.
