2021-22 NBA Rookie Thread (part 4)

[payton2kemp]

Those wins are from FVV/Siakam playing well, Barnes has been weak lately. He's not that good in recent games.

Barnes' last 6 games before last night
11/9/6 against Jazz
6/6/4 against Bucks
11/9/8 against Spurs
13/4 against knicks
21/8/6 against very short handed Warriors
23/12/5 against Nets (went toe to toe with Durant)

yes a couple subpar games but that's normal for every rookie, "weak lately" is quite the overstatement,

You forgot to add his blocks & steals as well. Scottie has been fine. The dude you're responding to is just a sad hater.

what was hateful? just some basic criticism, you guys take everything so personal.

But i just showed how your criticism was unfounded. Barnes' numbers were due to come down once the team got healthy, and lo and behold his scoring is coming down. However, he is clearly contributing in other areas as the numbers bear out.

lol ok? take out the Nets game and add the pelicans game, still has 4 double digit games and atleast 3 that you would consider good well rounded games (while playing pretty good defense). He's the #4 (sometimes #5) scoring option on a playoff team, unlike most of the other top rookies.

He's the 5th option for a reason, hes lacking in certain areas, thats the point. He's struggling in some parts of his game.

lol yes he is 5th option for a reason but that reason is that his team is actually good. He would be the first option on the Pistons and Magic as well.

Is Mobley the front runner for the award?

sidenote. The Raptors aren't very good, your winning streak is against g-league rosters lol. No US team wants to send any of its players to Canada during this covid wave, I looked at the games and you guys have played pure scrubs lol can't even recognize half the guys on those rosters of the teams the Raptors beat.

Cade going off! lets gooooooooooooooooooooooo

[MotownMadness]

My goodness Cade is a beast

[7r5ur]

Cade going off! lets gooooooooooooooooooooooo

Cade with 29 points, (10-for-17 FG, 5-for-9 3FG), 8 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks. 24pts in the 2nd half.

Don't look now but the Pistons are 4-2 in 2022, with wins against the Bucks and Jazz.

[whitehops]

cade started slow (0-5 from the field i believe) but absolutely dominated the second half. both scoring, breaking down the defense and dishing the ball in the PnR he put on a great display:

Watch on YouTube

it was a little like watching lebron down the stretch, just in terms of the offense spreading the floor and literally just running high pick and roll with cade over and over and over to get the W.

Jalen Green is **** awful arguably the worst player in the entire league

Whole buncha people in the rookie threads gonna have to eat that crow ass first.

Rockets are going to regret passing on Mobley for the next 10 years. What a trash organization.

Barnes is playing hurt and the Raptors are finally playing their full lineup and their best players are eating first. But we can forgot all context if you'd like, though I think I know why you'd want to do that too...

Still too early, but passing up on a core of Mobely/Allen seems pretty incompetent right about now...
