Open your eyes, people.


Good God. Please get this troll off our board.

Bullock just made a dribble-drive-pass action I've never saw Barnes do in the year and a half I've been watching him.

I know you on that hype-juice but spare me the insulting comments.

Nothing. LOL

I mean, really dude, impact the game in with something other than jacking shots up.

Ironic, isn't it that HB avg 3.3 less rebounds less then your boy PJ3 despite the fact he's playing with 2 prolific rebounders.....

What exactly does he do again?

Barnes steps up in the 2nd half, PJIII simply does not. I guess Steely likes magicians who specialize in disappearing acts.

Although Barnes missed the lay-up in traffic there, that dribble-drive action was nasty. Beat two defenders off the bounce with a little hesitation head fake and inside-out dribble.

It's hard to get that touch when you've got two defenders trying to block your shot in the air.

I guess all of HB's shortcomings on offense make him average less points than PJIII....wait....he averages more PPG? But PJIII has been handed the Baylor offense.

This is the Barnes that all of you have been hyping to death? A Demar/Barnes wing literally brings tears to my eyes.

aw barnes is shooting a poor percentage right now, a tough offensive outing in 1st half. Even I am talking about his poor first half, how about steely, hey where were you when PJ3 pussied out in 2nd half last game, u went MIA, loool that's very chicken-ish bro.

IMO, Barnes would not be doing much better than Perry Jones if he were playing for Baylor. UNC is a very good situation for him with good big men and a great pass-first PG

I've gotta watch Baylor in the tournament this year. Hoping PJ3 and QMiller show up.

Really? We using excuses ike this now a days?

His brick touch has been part of him his entire college career.

MKG is so much better of a prospect over this guy that its not even close. MKG would shut down Barnes everyday of the week.

It's ok, you're new (I hope). Harrison Barnes cares not for the 1st half, peasant!

It's alright, I'd say the same thing too about Lamb in last game where he went nonstop chucking so it's all good. 8-)
