HiJiNX wrote:Team isn’t good enough for Barnes to be an all-star this year. And if we are being honest, Barnes hasn’t been good enough either. He had a hot month before the eye injury. And he’s been good the last 2.5 weeks. But overall he hasn’t been stellar consistently with his time on the court even if it has been impacted by injury. Hopefully this fuels him to keep working hard.


Yeah, this has been more of an "extract the small positives" kind of season. Playmaking, middie, defense. Positive signs, but struggling to put it a together and backsliding in other areas.

Man I’m seeing some nice self creation from Scottie lately he’s improved for sure
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

That turnaround fade is looking pretty nice. The finishing around the basket, not so much lol.

He'll probably never be a great 3point shooter. He should take 3 or 4 a game at most.

These games where he takes 5-10, it's hard to watch.

He needs to stick to taking KG type shots. I like his game best from that area.

Even if he was shooting 36%, I wouldn't want him taking a lot.

Pensare is a clown. Never will understand those who run accounts like that.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Compare him to Wemby. We aren't even close to contention. We should be tanking to get a generational talent.

Generational talents are rare. Us taking a crack at Flagg is probably the best we're going to get until The Next comes along at some undetermined time. If we don't do that successfully, then we should probably abandon the idea of the tank as a viable approach, because otherwise we'll just be bad for a long while like the Wizards. It should be a targeted thing, not a perpetual strategy.

We know he isn't a Wemby-level player. This much is pretty well-established at this point, but also wasn't really on the table to start when he was drafted, so that's no big surprise, nor a mega letdown.

I've had them disabled for so long, I probably would have done the same thing if I had them active. xD

He used to do the same **** here with Bargs :lol:, nothing has changed, except he took this hyperbole **** to his Youtube stans.

Lazy stat-padding, he missed including points-per-min, points-per-36mins, points-per-48mins.
