Scottie Barnes STRUGGLES In Raptors’ Opening Night Game Versus Cleveland

23 comments

1. limited offensive moves is what I saw in Scottie's game last night…no shot creation for himself to draw defense and make it easier for his team to score…..this is his what 3rd or 4th year? he's got to develop more shot creation off the dribble

2. This will be RJs team in no time.

3. He was playing in units with Shead .Boucher .Fernando and Mitchell.disgusting roster

4. The Montreal Raptors looked better.

5. They really missed Rj barrett last night

6. I might be an old head here but if you are horrible in the game don’t come to the press conference all dolled up. Wear your uni or whatever. It’s just a bad look.

7. They should have positioned Immanuel Quickley (IQ) at the top, with Gradey Dick and Jamison battle in the corners, while Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl worked in the middle. This setup would have opened up the lanes and allowed them to effectively break down the zone defense.

8. It was 5 on 1 with the support he had man.

9. I think they need to make more plays out in the perimeter. Also, rebounding needs to be better defensively and offensively!

10. I believe Darko we will need to switch up the starting lineup more to find a balance

11. keep runnin boys! dont stop, keep going, its gonna be ugly, thats not the point. get up, keep going!! thxz for the reality check Es

12. When all is said and done, scottie is going to the the "what could have been" player. Unless he changes his attitude and mentality. He has the talent but the attitude stinks. When things don't go his way, he pouts, doesn't run back. Stops hustling, gets careless. He's very easy to throw off his game

13. one problem with scotty is if he's not feeling the jumper early he'll lay off and end with 12 shots like tonight. Would love to see him keep firing especially against a tough interior defense

14. That's not the Scottie Barnes I've watched for the last 3 seasons. I'm fine with forgetting about that one and moving on.

15. "81 more to go" is right…

16. Scottie got exposed, no moves no improvements, but worse is when he kept on being passive and not aggressive to carry the team. This dude aint it, you cant pick and choose when to be the guy when your the guy.

17. Dude looked awful that 200 million for 9 points

18. Guys, y’all are rebuilding. This season will make Scottie a better player. I’d like Scottie more if he didn’t steal ROY from my GOAT Evan Mobley

19. Scottie will okay. Mobley is just a different type of breed defensively. I never saw the raptors beating us not even the slightest chance you guys are rebuilding. A promising core too. IQ going down sucked to see I love his game and what he brings to the raptors. You can see the difference he makes when he’s out there. You guys missed RJ as well. Scottie, RJ, & iQ complement eachother well. Now it’s time to keep adding those complimentary pieces like Shaeds and more. Also I would like to see the Raptors go and get a center who can make a difference in the paint and stretch the floor. Really wish Flip landed there but he ended up in Utah. Gonna be fun watching IQ level up as the season goes on

20. Mobley is my 2021 ROTY

21. your can ignore all scotty mastakes all you want but saying his team is the main reason he looked bad when he chose to hold the ball forever and try and use his very limited offensive game against one of the best defenders call his daddy aka mobley

22. Awful performance! And he is doing awful tonight as well@

23. Bench him! Misses misses misses both the current game live and Wednesday's game! Bench!!!
