Welcome to over-extending a player beyond his capacity. *shrug*

We'll enjoy his defense as the season wears on. And to be fair, he was crushing the glass and playing his all-around game in this one, he just wasn't hitting shots. He just isn't a good scorer. It was, however, also a night where NO one was really shooting well, except Quick's 3pt shooting, and Hep off the bench.

Not the game to really draw a lot from, you know?

Holy **** guys it’s his fifth year borderline insanity with you guys. Kevin Durand just put up an easy 20 as near 40 year old with injury history… wanna know why? Because he can. All of Scottie’s failures in his ability to score and be efficient are just because he can’t there’s no **** excuses. these discussions would make sense if this was his 2nd or 3rd season who has had no freedom to shine.. Not as a fifth year vet who was already handed the keys and failed

what players of any age do in preseason is not worth overreacting about. reeelax and wait for the regular season for your hot takes

You guys say this every **** preseason. Again what is so difficult for peoole to accept. It’s right in front of you.

I actually never had to explain the irrelevance of preseason before (should be obvious for seasoned sports fans)… so yeah, I don’t know who you think you are posting to, but No - I didn’t have to say this **** ever before

relax with your overreactions to preseason

barnes has had his high dribble for 5 years now and he cant consistently beat defenders with it...so he cant drive or hit 3s...two dam important aspects of scoring

It's better than having attack the paint.

Let him work on the shot in pre-season, Atleast put it in the mind of the rest of the league.

League saw him brick 3s plenty last year :lol:

difference is we are trying to win this season. Work on good winning habits. If he's open later in the clock then ok, or if he's already made a couple and is feeling it.

They have to retain Olivier Sarr now for the RS opener after that ending of the game. Everyone seemed so happy for him lol

Any good PG's in the 2026 draft available in the teens? Hopefully.

He can’t shoot or drive. There’s no fixing that. Luckily he’s still a great passer and borderline elite defender. Just gotta hope he can embrace a 3rd option role on offence.

Maybe it's the trainer, it's probably him.

I don’t really give a **** about the results of the preseason, as we have seen it has zero bearing on the regular season.

Separately though, if his shooting the ball still sucks, it’s all on him. He should have made the decision to change trainer years ago.

What are you gonn say in the regular season when it’s the same ****. Insanity. Don’t worry by his 10th season I’m sure he’ll put it together. I expect to see you talking about tempering preseason expectations then too.

Everyone would be talking about it if he came into camp lvled up. It's the same Scottie that walked into camp last year imo.

Really, it's on him or the front office at this point.

I would hope that as the season progresses, the would address this, this year if the need persists.

Gunnin for second round eh? :eyebrows:

Any ideas how to do that? I wouldn't mind Prichard lol. He was a good pick by Boston.

Didn't watch the game but from the box score seems like amateur shooting night - just awful - was anybody decent?

Thank You!!! I knew I wasn't the only one that could see this.

It's on the front office for giving him that undeserved max contract.
