Official Scottie Barnes Thread - Part 6

[will]

My favourite shot from him yesterday. Beautiful Gradey dart + you can see the full comfortability from Scottie in taking that shot. Body language oozing with confidence.

I can't recall a Raptor dominating a game like that since Kawhi. This wasn't a hot shooting night. He was all over the place with key steals, key rebounds and key assists. He also made 2 clutch FTs late in the 4th. That was a case of "give me the f'n ball and get out of the way".

The vets (Temple and OPJ) were all in on the celebration, especially in the locker room afterwards when he was given that player of the game award from Darko. Not to get overdramatic but this game was the official handing of the torch IMO. It's undoubtedly his team and everyone knows it but most importantly, everyone seems to be embracing it.

We saw this last season. 4th quarter Scottish. When the game is in the balance.

Others could only do it in the first quarter and first half, and then disappear when the game mattered.

This is why Scottish is the one.

What we are seeing now? We was robbed of by certain guys last season.

Will! Welcome back. I looked over your last bunch of posts in late October, couldn't see anything remotely ban-worthy. Can't figure out what's going on around here. But don't reply anything that would activate the hair trigger

I permanently removed one letter from my keyboard.

Including Pascal????

I mean no disrespect to him but Siakam has never struck me as the alpha type. He seems more than content to take a backseat and let someone else lead.

Wrote about this play in a previous post. that's pure muscle memory. Knees bent shot pocket perfect. .5 seconds to launch. That's a telling sign that his shot has come a long way.

More impressed by Dick's pass than anything else there. That play had disaster written all over it and somehow we ended up with 3

Only one's that come to mind was FVV scoring 54 and SIakams 52/9/7 last season vs NYK. Lowrys last ever game vs LAL should get some props as well.

Son no longer has to worry and look over his shoulder.

Nurse wanted Chokebiid instead.

If nurse was still here, I’d bet we’d never see this version of Scottie

A pretty good reason why he would take the job

[Klayforspicy]

I like what I heard from Darko, seems like theyre gonna stop **** around.
The percentages are telling you what is your best offense.

[sidsid]

Scottie stats now after the Spurs win

22.6 ppg
9.9 rpg
5.9 apg
2.1 bpg
1.1 spg
FG% 51.3
3FG% 42.1
FT% 75.9

if he gets 20/10/6 for the season... i am sure he would be MIP.

It’s gonna be really tough to beat Maxey.

Not only is he gonna explode with his scoring numbers, the media narrative is already biased that way with Harden’s departure, meanwhile our team barely exists in the minds of US media. I think it would/will literally take Pascal being traded fairly soon & Scottie averaging like 23+ppg because I think Maxey is gonna near the mid 20s or more unless PHI does in fact trade those picks for Zach or one of our guys.

These awards don't really matter, but I've always thought of this award as being for the exponential growth guys, which typically happens for players picked outside the lottery. Siakam fit this bill perfectly, and Maxey would to if his scoring continues.

Barnes won rookie of the year. He had a down year with bad coaching, and is making a leap now, but expectations were rightly set higher after that year.

In addition to his shooting, one of the biggest improvements Barnes has made is his conditioning.

A big issue from him last year is that during games we would see glimpses of dominance followed by periods of passivity with him being noticeably fatigued. Both him and Masai acknowledged that his conditioning was a big issue last year and he wasn't able to play with full intensity throughout a full game.

He doesn't seem to have that issue this year.

Scottie is my favorite player and would be no matter what team I was on. Charles Barkley was the guy who got me into basketball as a kid, not MJ.

The things that made me scared about Scottie was his inability to play starter minutes. To me it was clear given what he did in college. He wasn't used to it. Also the fact that he thought he had to play point guard to be the best version of himself. Seeing him accept Dennis in his role and dominating from from any position on the court is all I want to see.

Scottie is turning into Charles Barkley with defense. He's the superstar in the making I have been missing since Sir Charles left.

Pat Bev says "No Dogs"

Scottie says "Woof"

We have our Alpha and this time that man loves Toronto.

The future is bright with him and Darko. Masai and Bobby just need to focus on surrounding them with what they need to thrive.

Go Raptors Go!

I can see some correlation, albeit Chuck was like 6’4 with Zion type athleticism and Scottie is 6’10 in shoes.

Chuck in C-Webb's frame. That's possible MVP candidate.

[Tha Cynic]

Everyone keeps talking about moving Siakam. Barnes needs someone with the ability to score like Siakam with him, or it will turn into a one man team and defenses can simply game plan for just him since the rest of the team can't create offense. Either they need to figure out Siakam and him together or they need to get a guard to play with Barnes soon..
