PG: The Scottie Barnes Show

[SnotoriousBIG]

Outscored them 28-7 from 1:43 left in the 4th plus overtime.

[bape_lovers]

Thought jakobe played well today. With RJ back, Jakobe and Gradey can go back to playing their original position.

Now do your work Bobby. C & bench scorer.

[MEDIC]

If Walter turns the corner & keeps this up, it willbe massive for the team. No need to go out & get another guard.

[Kingsway_fan]

Reminder - multiple posters complained Scottie started at C tonight, and that in itself should tell us to not think so highly of ourselves

Wouldn't it be funny after all this time, center is where he breaks out.

Indeed. But now there should be serious thought of doing just that, for most matchups... and try to fill the 4 with another player (CBM can backup the 4).

[ItsDanger]

Hopefully a trade comes sooner than later.

There is something off with this team. The inconsistencies aren’t the signs of a team on the rise.

Welcome back RJ!!

They played better with Shead especially on offense. But his individual offense is lacking. Why can't other units be more cohesive? They just can't see the floor well.

[Valard]

As a complainer about IQ, I pointed out he had 5 turnovers through 3 quarters and there was no way we could win with that as our starting pg
He had 1ast to 5tos at the end of the 3 as. He finished with 7ast and 5tos.

Having a guard who doesnt turn the ball over and gets guys buckets leads to winning... who knew.

[MiamiSPX]

IQ is pretty elite at not turning the ball over. The 5 he had today were a season high, and I think that led to all the negative comments. He was pretty clutch when we needed him to be.

[HumbleRen]

Most of IQ’s success came from off ball movement and relocation 3’s. I hope he understands he’s significantly better off the ball rather than on the ball, hopefully he can keep that mindset now that RJ is back.

we've always known he's most effective in the post. idk if center position is a long term answer as gsw is also a smaller team but it worked out today.
great game by him and quickley and shead!
ingram had a decent game and barrett will shape up quickly!
no shame in getting bested by curry re: ochai and despite gradey being part of the comeback late in the 3rd, feels that their time in toronto is coming to an end.

[DreamTeam09]

have we played a game with jak RJ CMB yet?

Darko has to put him in those positions and in that role.

[SFour]

it's frustrating knowing that this team should have a record around 23-10.....too many easy games given up

[TOStateofMind]

Monster night Scottie.

Jokobe and IQ came through with the 3s tonight.

[mdenny]

This game was so much fun.

The best hilite assist scotty made didnt even get counted on the boxscore. Jokic volleyball pass to mamu under the net.

The buckets that ingram got.....noone else on the team can get those. Without them....we lose by 15.

Big respect to iQ. Dude's been struggling but never hangs his head in shame and keeps on fighting. Then makes huge contributions.

Rj's return weirdly puts everything back in place during the bench minutes.

Seems like they decided to let Barnes play alot more PG in halfcourt offense during first half with mixed results. Something to keep an eye on going forward.

It’s on both of them.

can't really on second year players if trying to compete, whether it is shead or jkw to show up for you consistently; get that veteran guard.

[Tripod]

IQ 27/4/7 on 15 shots. (And HUGE late buckets)

Complaints galore in the GT.

He deserved every one in the 1st half.

1-5 and had 1 reb, 1 assist and 3 TO

He was excellent in the 2nd half. Give him all the praise for showing up and being a big part of the win

I agree. At least he is upping his trade value.

I really like Walter. I know he has been a bit of a whipping boy around here, but I haven't had any issues with him. He scraps and plays hard. Now that his shot is falling again, it will do wonders for the team & his value as an asset.

[TimeForChange]

Where's the dude who said Draymond was outplaying Barnes?

[hype_2004]

Scottie plays with confidence with RJ put there, there's a certain unexplainable synergy when these guys are in the floor together.
