Barnes skill set is just so limited been saying this forever

I miss fourth quarter Barnes attacking the rim constantly, couldn't be stopped. He is so passive now.


That type of effort isn't sustainable for an entire game. Even more so if he's going to expend as much energy as he does now on the defensive end.

If Dick doesn't produce then it's just a matter of time before he's in the dog house. The team is trying to win, he's not going to get an unlimited leash.

If the raptors are actually trying to win now Lawson should be ahead of Walter and dick in the rotation.

IQ, RJ, Ingram were great.

Scottie was good defensively but an absolute liability on offense.

Mamu and the bench were great too.


But yes, I'm worried about Scottie. His shot looks broken. Shoutout BMac Fisher.
In Masai We Trust :meditate:
