Scottie deserves some love by the media after that game.
If you will remember just a short time ago, everyone in the media was calling him a mistake at #4.
Were they?
Pretty much every draft analyst that I saw thought it was a good pick. Or maybe they just said that because they know they can't question Masai given his track record. lol.
Scottie for the most part was an absolute lock to be drafted in the top 5. Orlando and OKC had Scottie at #4 on their draft board. Some teams had Scottie even higher.

Magic was special, he'd do 3-4 of those a game. But still, it's impressive as heck to see a guy with that vision.

Oh I know, and Magic was a true PG who had the ball in his hands running the offense, at 6'9. Not saying Scottie is ready for that role but as you say, the vision is there.

First time in a while I saw Baaston get handled like that.. their length was nothing compared to ours and
Scal kept praising Barnes all game, he loves his game.
Scal also mentioned whenever FVV got the ball, it stopped moving.. pretty funny hearing that from an outsider but this was a feel good win and we don't even have Siakam.
It wont be like this all the time and we have ways to go offensively when things aren't going our way but proud of our young guys.
Who tf is scal? And why do we care about his opinion?

Quintessential fred game. Pure winning basketball. How many possession changes did he produce? More than 10.
Never been a raptor getting this much hate from casuals.

I hate people like this. When we get blown out everyone is up in arms and wants to trade every player and tank. But when we blow out a team on the road that was 100% healthy without our best player it's all this temper expectations bull. Why can't y'all let people be happy and excited. Y'all always trying to temper expectations when no one here has any unrealistic expectations lol. We know we aren't a championship calibre team. We know Barnes and this team will have their ups and downs. Let us enjoy the ups. Like gawdamn. What's the point of being a fan if you can't even enjoy when your team plays well and for most exceeded anything that we expected. I will never understand this way of thinking
I have never crapped on a player on this team when they struggle. In fact it has made me not want to continue on this board the way some get on guys for every bad play. Or harp on some narrative they have bought into. I guess I cautioned against people overreacting because I feel it is those people most likely to call him trash if he struggles later.
