Pray For Scottie
Honestly I’m all in for ‘Gary for Sixth Man of the Year’ award. He could be our Jordan Poole and get his bag as well👀🫡
They seem to be more concentrated on the Nets, it means more. They will get a chance to redeem themselves. Keep it moving.
Scottie needs to fix his attitude and body language. It looked evident that he wasn't happy when he came off the bench against the Cavs. Nurse shouldn't be afraid to bench him and call him out.
Anyone dissing Barnes can get f***Ed….
The bloke has been injured, maybe he is slightly nicked in the head but he is young and shooting the 3 ball well… He is 🔥 give him time and he will make it
PPl need to chill, Masai even said there will be growing pains….
people need to chill the fuck out on Scottie bruh. hes 20, and its his second year. He's gonna be ok. things will work out.
This season's development is all about who's going to the bench.
We can win if people find roles.
Suggs > Barnes
My favorite development in Scottie's game is the 3 ball.
Sure, it's ugly percentage but at least he's willing to take them. Says a lot of his character to work on his weakness.
In two years, his 3 ball will be a weapon. Right now, he is getting deflated on those misses.
I wish scottie love and patience.
Everyone blows by Scottie on D. He’s a certified pylon out there 😒
Scottie jus needs a few yrs to refine his game. He has zero offense. Everything he does offensively is ackward, 80% of the time he jus throws the ball up at the backboard an hope's for the best. Lol! Hes raw af an everybody jus needa chill out.
SB is a player that the raps have made an investment in. Any asset that anyone invests in will often increase and decrease in value as time goes on. Yes, Scottie has had a tough stretch lately and it’s fair to criticize, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the team should give up on this asset. Sit him and let him work it out in practice, or keep playing him to let him work it out on the floor… it don’t matter, just give him time and he’ll come through
Norman Powell was a 6th man so Gary Trent shouldn’t be mad about it I think Scottie Barnes should come off the bench or even go to the G League this young man Scottie is being lazy
bolwrld use to be a fan of scottie but switched up once his meme player bolbol starting playing well lol
Scottie is the future of the Raptors. Something is going on with him though as he’s seems distracted and playing with lack of effort and aggressiveness. He’s also making many mistakes. Remember Siakim was benched by Nurse and is now all NBA. Barnes needs to be sent to the bench and benched until he starts playing more focused basketball and with effort at all times. I suspect something outside of basketball is bothering him. Definitely not trading him. He will come around like Siakim did. I predict by the end of the season he will be playing better than his rookie season. Achiuwa is another player who needs to get benched as he was playing terrible before his injury hopefully he comes back playing better.
Nurse needs to be more ruthless with everyone. You don’t play with effort, good D, or keeping making mistakes you sit on the bench. Play only players who deserve it.
These people don’t have anything better to do with their time, Scottie is a second year rookie
I feel like this will really help Gary Trent Jr. get his focus and game back. As a 6th Man producing like that it can help build his confidence back up and become a more consistent shooter. We understand it's an ego hit and can hurt in a contract year but it's definitely good for him becuase it makes him look professional and other teams will see that and eager to want to use him on their teams. I still think long-term he's going to be a starter for now but this is his niche for now to help the team. Scottie needs to embrace coming off the bench too, all of our big 3 starters Siakam, OG, and Freddy all started off the bench and had to find their game off the bench. Sometimes it's a struggle for high draft picks becuase they're forced to start in the beginning due to their value and sometimes they don't get the opportunity earlier in their careers to find a way to stay on the court by coming off the bench. Scottie just needs the right attitude and continue to work on his game and he'll be a full-time starter and balling like Siakam is now. Siakam went through his struggles as well so it's not over for Scottie by a long shot but he needs to humble himself like GTJ has and start embracing a role off the bench.
The pressure of him being Majic Johnson Like is now brewing, I've yet to see the similarities.
My opinion suited for small foward position coming off bench
Hey wth, why are you not talking of trades this time?
Where is Ryker? Resting well?
I’ve been saying since last year Gary Trent Jr should come off the bench. Better balance. He can finish games depending the situation.
I think you need English lessons. "Allegations" versus "comparisons" are seriously different. I wouldn't be throwing around the word allegations when you mean something else; that word could seriously hurt someone's career and reputation.
Subway curse for Scottie
Hey Ben just wanted to say I always appreciate the coverage man. I’m proud of you for taking this up on your own without Ryker as much these days. This is one of the reasons the raptors feel like such a connected team – you, will Lou, and our media teams. Just wanted to say thanks.
When is Nurse going to call out FVV (37% FG/35% 3FG)?
