This is the MOST DISRESPECTFUL Thing I’ve Ever Witnessed…



This is the MOST DISRESPECTFUL Thing I’ve Ever Witnessed…

This is straight up disrespectful to Scotty Barnes to the Toronto Raptors and frankly to the people of Canada and no it’s not because Scotty Barnes wasn’t selected to the All-Star team that’s not the case The rosters were released last night in terms of who made the Eastern Conference Allstar team and frankly it

Seems like a fine list again looking at it at the lower end of players you know the guys that made the back end of this roster you can make some arguments for Scotty over some of these players I mean Jaylen Brown having a solid year but the

Celtics one of the top teams in the East so again they’re going to make that cut right Paulo banero is probably the the closest sort of argument you can make for Scotty especially I pulled a I saw this on Reddit I pulled this straight from Reddit basically a comparison

Scotty Barnes is clearly having the better allaround season than Pao but the magic again have been better than the Toronto Raptors in the standings this year right the magic are currently what the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference the Raptors are 12th and by a significant margin I mean there’s a

Significant sort of wing gap between the Raptors and the magic so again I’m not frustrated that Paulo ended up got getting selected over Scotty barns you know bam and a bio again similar story but I’m not frustrated about any of these selections on the actual Allstar

Team it’s the report that came out after following this Allstar selection because again Julius Randall and Joel embiid are very much not GNA very likely not to play in this year’s allstar game dealing with serious injuries you know they’re going to keep them out for the short to

Longterm sort of uh time span so looking at that roster and look at the rest of the players in the Eastern Conference you say Okay Scotty Barnes definitely should have been a fringe player for this All-Star selection he’s clearly a guy that deserves to sort of come into

This well a report that is dropped revealing the candidates to sort of come in and be an All-Star selection uh you know as a replacement for both Joel embiid and Julius Randall is frankly ludicrous it is insane and it is stupid so we’re going to dive into that before

We do again if you’re part of the 58% that haven’t subscribed make sure you hit that subscribe button so we can keep you up to date with all the latest Toronto Raptors news but we have to jump straight into this because basically you know according to Chris manx and a

Report that has come out here Miles Turner Derek white Trey young and Chris DS porzingis are among the players Adam Silver will consider to replace Julius Randall who is at Le out for at least the next two to three weeks with a shoulder injury and then obviously Jolan

Beads out as well it can be a wild card player that comes in and replay so it’s not positional obviously trade it’s not close to the position of Julius Randall or something along those lines and even Trey young I get because again the Hawks are bad but they’re better than the

Toronto Raptors here now at this point Trey young is putting up some wild stats so I’m not even that frustrated at a Trey young getting made but Derek white yes Derek white is having a great role playeres sort of season this year but if Derek white makes an All-Star Game OG

And anobi should be in the All-Star Game OG does everything that Derek white is son just a heck of a lot better you know space in the court and you know maybe Derek White’s a better shock Creator stuff along those lines but OG’s a better Defender you know floor spacer

All that type of stuff I mean Derek white yes he’s been clutched for the Boston Celtics and stuff but that guy is a role player he is the fifth option on the Boston Celtics and I don’t care the Boston Celtics have the top record in the Eastern Conference or anything along

Those lines like that Derek white should not be an Allstar over Scotty Barnes but again there’s a precedent you know in the past for players you know when you have a team that’s so far and ahead above the pack in the Eastern Conference right them coming up heck even Chris

Staps porzingis I get you know being on this list and stuff I think Scotty should definitely be ahead of Chris staps but fair enough you know he’s on that number one roster and all that sort of stuff but Derek white being named over Scotty Barnes is ludicrous and then

The name that that should have everyone fired up on this list Miles Turner Miles Turner the Indiana Pacers right if we look at it here right now the Indiana Pacers are a team at six in the Eastern Conference mid mid mid out here in the Eastern Conference Miles Turner is the third

Best player on that team maybe the fourth depending how you view meur I mean why on Earth what world in what universe is Miles Turner even getting contemplated on a list for an Allstar team versus Scotty Barnes Derek white and Miles Turner being named as potential Replacements out here in the

Eastern Conference ahead of a guy like Scotty Burns is absolutely insane it is madness and again the All-Star game doesn’t matter Yeahs players pay and all that type of stuff in the future so it doesn’t really matter that much but you have to be fir D on the grounds of just

Not knowing you know I’ve had some bad basketball takes thrown out here anyone that watches this sport does but Miles Turner and Derek white being named to an All-Star team or being named as a potential replacement over a dude like Scotty Barnes is the dumbest thing I’ve

Ever heard Pascal cakam should be on that list ahead of Miles Turner RJ Barrett should be on that list ahead of Miles Turner the fact that this is the case and this is the sort of list that’s come I mean we can look at the stats I mean

Scotty Barnes this season 20 points per game eight rebounds six assists 48% from the field 36% behind the free throw line three-point line I mean you look at his stats as well uh because you might be like oh Ben you know that’s cool stats and stuff for Scotty barns but

Defensively most Turner’s a demon he blocks a bunch of shots well you know what Scotty Barnes in terms of those box score numbers 1.3 steals 1.5 blocks per night and Miles Turner you know for all the blocks that he gets you know the fantasy player that he is and all that

Type of stuff I mean Miles Turner right now this season is 17 he doesn’t really rebound for you for a proper big I mean I think Scotty Barnes is averaging more rebounds per game yeah he actually is so Scotty’s averaging more rebounds than the Pacers starting center and for all

That’s hyped up about the blocks of Miles Turner Scotty Barnes is only averaging three less blocks per game Than Miles Turner and it’s been well regarded it’s been well noted we made plenty of videos over the years regarding Miles Turner and who he is as an actual basketball player and all that

Type of stuff yes he blocks a lot of shots he’s a rib protector in those sense but he misses a lot of coverages he is not that sort of a even yaka pesque sort of rim protector you know in terms of you know getting across the

Court being mobile you know sure if he even if he’s a little bit behind he can block the the shot but that’s taking a step back this season and he’s just not that guy on the defensive end so in what world is there any type of argument for

Miles Turner to be an Allstar type of guy over a Scotty Barnes where how does it make sense I that needs to be described to me and again Derek white there’s a lot of Derek white stands out there and all that type of stuff Derek white is averaging 15

Four and five this season and sure he gets steal a blocker for night Scotty Barnes statistically crushes him in every single category every single one with the exception of maybe like three-point field goal percentage but again it’s not even that like Derek white is shooting you know above 40%

From behind the three-point line Derek white also has the benefit of playing around Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown Drew holiday and Chris ABS porzingis Drew Derek white is the fifth most deserving All-Star player on his team what and he’s getting named he’s getting thrown out there in the totem pole over a Scotty

Barnes like what what are we talking about here why is this a discussion because he shaved his head this off season is that is that why Derek White is coming out here and getting Allstar nods his memes are great I mean the the NBA needs to be checked

Whoever whoever’s coming out with these reports needs to something needs to be checked out about this cuz frankly it’s ridiculous but let me know what you guys think I’m signing up cheers

  1. Talking about pacers being mid while having 10 more wins than the raptors halfway through the year, maybe if the people of Canada voted Scottie Barnes more it would be a different discussion. He barely got more votes than kuzma

  2. Ben, you can’t be serious. Saying Ben Mathurin might be better than Myles Turner is an absolutely insane, negative IQ take. How bias can one get holy shit

  3. Wtf are y’all talking about ?? Raptors are a bottom 6 team and Scottie is barely averaging 20. There’s more than a few people in the East who are more deserving. I’m a huge Scottie fan and I think he has MVP potential but this is not the year to complain about an all star snub lol

  4. A bad take. I'm a huge raps fan but winning matters. Derrick White, like it or not, has played at an all star level and has contributed to winning. SB is putting up stats on a bad team which doesn't mean a lot if winning isn't involved. I'm glad he's not selected as it will drive him to focus on getting wins in the future. Ultimately, this will help him grow and no doubt in my mind SB will be an all star soon – just not this year.

  5. Those players named were probably next in line from the coaches decisions on the reserves. This isn't an ALL-STATS team. A lot of intangibles can make you a star and the coaches are aware of the elements these players bring to a winning team.
    A better argument would be why isn't the roster 15 players deep? We honor the ALL-NBA players with 15 slots at the end of the season the Allstar team should do the same midseason.

  6. Honestly this is good for Scottie, he looked like prime lebron in HS. Need that fire to light him up to be the guy now

  7. Well he still has a chance, if he wants 2 be an all star, his gotta bring it, kind of like Jalen Brunson, put a 40, every game, show us, I love Scottie, but since OG trade, his been checked, waiting for the season 2 be done.

  8. The Raptors are 19 games behind the Celtics before the All-Star game. Winning matters.

    Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakim, OG Anunoby – are all all-stars in the minds of Raptors fans. Fans = Fanatics.

  9. Scottie and Trae, the only all star quality players left, are going to be the ones snubbed. i don't understand how Trae was not already an all star, but he's about to get snubbed twice in a row, as well with the injury replacement. I don't understand this at all. How are NBA executives looking at these players and saying "yk what, he's below 20ppg, he's an all star" when Scottie and trae young are there. Im a raptors fan, Scottie is 110% deserving of an all star selection

  10. Haven’t you figured it out yet, NBA doesn’t give a shit about a Canadian team, they only like the money made off the Raptors. How many times have you seen a Raptors player in an NBA commercial 🤔🤔

  11. D White has more win shares than all of his teammates other than Tatum. He probably should be getting the spot over JB honestly.

  12. Enough with the victim “poor us Canadians” mentality. Paolo has similar numbers on a winning team. Period. Got nothing to do with Canada.

  13. I watch every Raptor game, but the AS Game is pointless so I don't watch it and that the problem. Low Canadian TV Ratings! Its not a big deal at all.
