PG: The Scottie Barnes Show

[Mack11]

this could have easily been a loss.. nice to see them fighting back like this.

[AkelaLoneWolf]

When do we have the conversation about making a move for Curry?

lol i had the same thought...trade for curry, then for giannis, ???, then profit!

[DreamTeam09]

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

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

[hype_2004]

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

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.

[Duffman100]

such a selective crap lol. acting as if people criticize him for no reason.




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

[Zeno]

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

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.

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

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.

[Son Goku 25]

Feel good win

[littlerock2277]

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

[LoveMyRaps]

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

Kingsway said he’d be the 4th best player on the Warriors

LMAOOO

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.

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

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.

[MiamiSPX]

BI with the quietest 26/4/6 night ever lol. He kept making key buckets when we needed them.

Shead +34.

[TheAlchemist23]

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

[nestea]

Does state have any bigs? Scottie has a field Day

Lol I stand corrected. He showed up today...let's see if he can show up more often.

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!
Alvin put it best: BI’s presence is a present.
