Re: Barnes leaving the bench early, Rajakovic chalked it up to a misunderstanding, said Scottie thought there was a shot clock violation & game was over. They spoke this AM, Darko told him he needs to have better awareness as a leader but team doesn’t feel discipline is required

  1. we really traded Schroder and Thad for nothing.

    Personally I don’t think this is a big deal but there’s no veteran presence. Maybe Olynyk and Temple I guess but it’s not the same.

    1 game being benched is not that big of a deal, especially with the effort shown in that game. I still believe in Scottie but you gotta send some message

    Man, if this is the pedestrian shit that passes for news, this is going to be a long finish to the season.

    I mean there was a shot clock violation…lol

  5. Hardly surprised with Barnes’ pending appearance at the ASG they didn’t want to make it a story…pure damage control.

    So now they’re making up excuses, like Scottie was unaware none of his teammates were anywhere to be seen when he was getting to the locker room.

    Lol there’s literally a clip of him walking ALONE in the hallway, how do you not notice your teammates and coaches not with you

    I love Scottie but this is not a good look. Immaturity is showing.

  9. Nice he stormed off alone. He’s the only who didnt understand eh?

    Darko knows who’s boss.

    Lmao. It’s not an isolated incident. If they want to wait til after the all star game to try to build some standards fine, but they gotta do something soon lol.

  12. The big phrase is ‘team doesn’t feel’ that means he and Bobby and Masai or he and the other players figured this out together. Ya Darko could have ranted again about ‘Scottie Barns!’ Again but going the other way and where does it get you?

    Everyone knows the Coach and Star Player need to be on the same page or it doesn’t work, Darko is trying to bridge the divide but Scottie is making it tough.

    I didn’t watch the ending of that game, I just saw people bitching on this sub so I assumed he like, stormed off halfway through the fourth. He got up with ten seconds of game clock left? That’s what people are rending their garments over?
