Young Moosehead wrote:Watch the start of this interview. Look at the impact being on perennial losers has had on Ingram. He is very mindful of never having had a winning record or seen the post season in the NBA. I felt a little bad for him when EJ asked that question. 6 years of tanks has had some kind of impact. Even later on talking to Shaq about how important just making the playoffs was for everyone. That is one of the reasons why tank is no long term strategy.



I am so glad Scottie is getting this chance in the playoffs in year 1 and to have been part of a successful team to maintain the mindset of being a winner because he has always having been a winner, now he has done it at every level.



top 5 picks usually never win 48 games in their rookie seasons. Credit to Scottie though, if he wasn't as good or nearly as durable, we don't make the playoffs.

Fact of the matter is if Scottie played in an American city like New York, LA or Chicago- He would win the ROTY by a big margin. Some of these writers do not pay enough attention to Barnes, since he is in Toronto. Barnes is the hands down ROTY. No disrespect to Mobley or Cade, but what Barnes did for the Raptors was amazing.

Playing 5 positions on the court, and holding his own with guys like Jokic at Centre. He was truly exceptional in both ends of the court, while not even being a first option like Cade. Put Barnes on the Pistons, and he would have averaged more than 20 PPG. Mobley had a solid rookie year, but playing next to a very good big man like Jarrett Allen, greatly helped his overall statistics.

Barnes would have gotten even more exceptional statistics playing with a guy like Allen, instead undersized guys like Birch, Boucher and even Precious. If Barnes does not win ROTY, it would be real shame, but deep down we all know he deserved it. He surpassed all expectations this year, and this is coming from a guy who did not want to draft him at 4. Thankfully, Masai drafted him at 4. The sky is the limit for this guy.

This is why the ROY doesn't matter. Dude likely would've posted a triple double in his first playoff game if he didn't get hurt. Big things are coming over the next decade.

I made these highlight gifs a couple weeks after we drafted Barnes.
It's crazy because he has legit made all these plays in the league too now. lol

I honestly don't see the point in trying to rush him back.

I'm not hating on the team but any team missing 2 of their key starters and one of their key rotation pieces isn't doing much against a team that was already rated higher than them with 2-3 stars.

Odds are by the time he can even test coming back we might have one game before we're out and my guess is it's likely 3-0. Don't risk making this injury bigger/worse or it becoming a lingering one. If anything it will make Scottie hungrier feeling like he didn't get a real shot vs coming back and feeling deflated from a bad series loss.
