All star numbers.

If he could just start knocking down some 3s, those numbers will look even better.


Last 10 games...

47.9 / 18.5 / 80.4, 54.9% TS.

It's always important to look at more than just raw production when listing numbers. Raw box score averages mean only so much. It's been good to see Scottie looking a little more aggressive, and he's always been a good rebounder and defender, so that's good.

Barnes is having a good overall season, but his is the time of year where we start seeing this all over: guys who were hot early start calming down a little and it changes the complexion of their overall performance. It isn't just him, for sure.

Barnes stats have platooed over the last 3 years. We’ve seen next to no improvement on that end outside of small flashes here and there

I'm gonna try to stay up for the whole thing. Gotta get ready for my nights, lol.

easily the worst part about west coast road trips. oh, all four games this week start at 10? cool...

kind of makes you appreciate how the players transition coming back from a west coast trip on 3 hours less sleep.

I don't usually watch non Raptor games, but this SAS-HOU game is making it very apparent how deprived of talent we are. I'm shocked we've won as many games as we have considering how painfully average our roster is.

Watching Wemby and Thompson is exciting, I imagine their fan bases are very excited for the future.

It's very depressing the talent we're stuck with here in Toronto. CMB is the only bright spot for me atm.

Eye test without substantive backup means very little.

I don't think that's entirely true, but I see where you're coming from. We know what he isn't, but we also seem to have found a role which works for him, as we did with RJ. We just can't maintain the environment and the role responsibilities.

I work shifts, man. I know all about sleep debt. They'll be fine, especially at their ages ;)

The old 2.5 hour time change. Only in NL....

I don't know why, but I thought I recalled you saying that you lived in Barrie years back. I might be thinking of someone else...

Still crazy to me that we got 100 bench points in a game a few years back. (Believe it was the 2020 season - post-chip)

i think it's valuable for any fan of any fanbase to watch a "non-their team" game every once in a while just to get a more unbiased perspective on how their favourite team compares to the rest of the league. now, you're watching two of the top 5-8 teams in the league so they're going to make a lot of teams look less impressive but it's still a good barometer. plus it can just be entertaining in close games without the potential frustration of having your team lose.

We win the chip again that year if Kawhi stayed for another year lol. We took BOS to 7 games with Pascal being a zero because of the pandemic ffs. Disgraceful from a competitive standpoint for Kawhi to leave that team.

You say this as if Scottie Barnes and BI aren’t on this team. Give your head a shake or go follow those teams.

Yea wth...why does darko have to make things so difficult? Lol

With that said if you wanted to test this lineup out now would be the time, but I see mamu subbing in within 5 minutes once the O boards start piling up for warriors.

I think the idea is to have one of Barnes and Mamu in at all times and then Mogbo in at times too.
