Even there, it's fully unguaranteed. They knew he sucked, they just needed a body.


Would Carlson look better out there? He has a body.

The fan bases reaction to Boucher is actually a legitimate example of how lacking they are in terms of basketball understanding. The same people trying to criticize my analysis.


Shut up man lol


You shut up

I don't think Jokic was the Jokic of today in his first few years, and that's not a talk about talent about his talent, but he saw he needed to take over.

It's possible Barnes may need to go through that, and maybe that's why Darko plays him with the Bench, the mentality may not come overnight.


Jokic actually used to have the passive issue and he broke out of it one season. Barnes is no where as good as Jokic and has nowhere near the skill level. The comparison makes zero sense.


Thats exactly why the comparison makes sense

not even close, he can block shots and shoot 3's. sure he was nothing special but he had a valuable skills set and would only get more comfortable. bruno smells like a promise to an agent

Keep exaggerating, keep defending Scottie's passiveness

expecting more anything more than 4 assist to 4 turnovers is too much i guess.

This guy aint elite at scoring, passing, or defending but i guess fans need to go easy on the highest paid raptor...ever.


Keep bitching man. That's all you do here. Isn't there a better way for you to spend a Friday night? Maybe having one of the best offensive arsenals of all time for a big man is why the ball runs through Jokic on every play? Use some common sense man. Enjoy the game.


I'm pretty sure anyone watching the 2024 Raptors on a friday night while posting on RealGM has mental issues

welcome to the club


Not if you actually enjoy watching basketball dude

Kind of poetic blowing out a Nurse team by playing the young guys

Nice. I totally forgot about his reticence to play young guys.

I'm talking from a mental state, not a talent one.

The comparison between the 2 is the mental side, both love to pass more than score and maybe don't want to rock the boat so much.
