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


or maybe just be a little tiny bit more level-headed when posting maybe? Seeing how games are 48minutes & all. But I'm asking for the Internet to be rational

Scottie is like what 6'9 245 lbs? He can absolutely play small ball C ala Giannis and thrive in that position.


He’s been doing that the last 3 weeks. It looked horrible lol.


Now RJ is back he has less attention, he can absolutely thrive looking for RJ for backdoor cuts and screens as what happened in this game.

when he was doing this you were crickets. what a joke lol :lol:

no one should ever take you seriously

shooters have slumps..get over it.

lol, it is a problem when that's the only thing keeping you in the league. he's also getting paid 35 million. it's okay to have standards and expectations for these guys.


I'm pretty sure most high volume 3p guys are this streaky.

Too much wear and tear. We’d still get killed on the glasses.

Scottie playing small ball 5 in small spurts is fine but he can’t do it long term. He’d break down.

I think you are only counting the "easy losses" and not the "easy wins" like this one.


Even if it's just 2 more wins it's still 21-12....I feel like I'm being pretty conservative even with the +4 wins.

The Raptors schedule gets very hard from here on so they really needed to build a nice cushion....they're top 4 in toughest remaining schedule.

Yeah, maybe two wins better but remember they have a very good record in close games. To me, even if they get completely healthy that upcoming schedule will be trouble so they need to make a move to improve the roster just to have any hope of maintaining their current winning percentage.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Giannis is 6'11 and has much more bounce and jumping ability.

Barnes can be effective at C vs SOME teams. Others, you are setting him up for failure and watch him be frustrated all game knowing he is overmatched.

Barnes needs to keep this type of energy. No way he should not be averaging 10 Rebs on this team. Hopefully this game builds his confidence more

TO ME, it's OK to say a guy is playing like garbage when he has zeros across the board after the 1st Q except for TO's.

Especially when that guy has the ball in his hands the most.

Not to mention the guy is still shooting 37% on ~7 3FGA/game on the season while sporting a 57 TS%. He has had some brutal nights over the past few weeks (namely against the Celtics), but he has been pretty solid overall. Some of the IQ hate is a bit over the top, as it always has been on this board when it comes to the play of PGs.

I'm not sure if it's mental or conditioning with him, but the inconsistent effort between games is maddening.

Scottie's inability to draw fouls is super concerning and the biggest limitation in his game

This.

He's not a point guard. He's an undersized 2. Those types are utilized best as 6th men/ bench scorers. Maybe they find a starting PG & he goes back to that role.

He was pretty loud in the 4th - big buckets down the stretch!
