:clap:

First of hopefully many
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Any chance he sneaks onto the All-Star team again?

You are probably right. The Cleveland Cavaliers might take up a third of the roster alone.

This is the award for the player with best counting stats on a team that won all its games. Well deserved because he really drove winning too this week.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Good for him....and numbers are not much off his actual seasons numbers.

Imagine if he could shoot. Or had a go to. Or a 1st step. Or a trammate who drew double teams. Or a teammate to create easy buckets for him. Or....

He should abandon the three ball like Giannis did. I understand that Giannis is 7 feet tall but Barnes should play more like him.

It all depends how we play.

When everything is running thru Yak, Barnes is normally pushed to the outside more. And if left alone, he has to take open catch n shoot 3's. Agreed on not taking the other ones.

But we all can see that he is at his best when in the post and as a hub can score easier or pass out when double teams come.

it's not even that his numbers are off the page.

his defense has been tremendous recently. starting mitchell has been huge for taking some of the pressure off of him.

Long term it would be wise to have a 5 that can shoot the three when your best player is poor at that skill.
