[The Nemesis]

I kind of left the last one to roll well over 1k by accident. So here's a fresh thread.

Previously on "Raptors Discussion": Raptors Discussion: - v95|Masai's back! The panic and dread can now end.

Barnes has great potential, liked that pick from day 1. He is in the build of a Giannis light. He can do it all, and the fact he has the ability to play as a primary ball handler at times is impressive for his age and size.

 

[canucksfan]

Much better than the first game

 

[djdev]

lol barnes with 15 points and 7 boards before the half..hes gota 3 pointer a putback dunk and a bunch of amazing midrange jumpers. dude looks insanely good and its his 2nd game.

still hate FVV running an offense, thats clearly not changing soon lol, sigh.

thank god i can watch barnes instead of the leafs whenever the 2 games clash.

Barnes > Suggs

I didn't even bother watching the Leafs game, it's not worth it. Ain't nobody got time for 82 games to wait for them to win a round

 

[Tuggy]

Barnes is LEGIT!

 

[Ignatius Reilly]

Barnes is LEGIT!

He sure is!!!

I don't feel like we're playing a lot better tonight, but... I'm loving the score.

 

[Emerica]

Paul Pierce getting front row seats to watch his team get whooped

 

[1specter]

He sure is!!!

I don't feel like we're playing a lot better tonight, but... I'm loving the score.

They're not turning the ball over as much and they're driving to the basket much more. Defense is also tighter tonight

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Scottie looking good

 

[donghabs98]

Scottie with a statement game

 

[Emerica]

Scottie is a baaad man. That's why i'm not a scout

 

[canucksfan]

Barnes looked incredible

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

This is going to be a fun team to watch. There’ll be growing pains, but they’re going to play hard and improve every game.

Anyone else grabbing a Scottie Barnes jersey?

 

[IronHalen]

The Raps are going to be able to run a long and tallllllllll starting line up once Siakam is back. Me likey.

 

[McDeepika]

Jaw dropping performance by Barnes. He looks so smart and smooth out there.

 

[djdev]

scottie finishes with 25pts 13rbs on 11 - 17 shooting

and...he kept tatum under 20 points.

annd that pass to boucher man, magic.



running out of nice things to say about barnes

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Scottie is f***ing nasty.

There’s gonna be some tough offensive nights with this team but our defense has the potential to be crazy good. Even GTJ looks like he’s stepping up his defensive game. Between OG/Scottie/Siakam (when healthy)/Precious, we have some crazy size and switchability.

i watched in spurts, but this young exciting raps team is just fun to watch, even if we lose. still love my leafs but im investing less in them this year, go raps!!

This is the way they have to play defence, every game. Their offence just isn't good enough. I was watching the Boston broadcast and the announcer said it was like Boston was playing against 6 players, there was no room on the court, no lanes to pass. They also loved Barnes, saying he's a big time player. I think we got a good one. Plays with heart whether the team is up or down. (unlike #16 on the Leafs)

their transition offense is pretty elite, but ye the half court offense is ugly more often than not

 

[djdev]

also, lets not forget precious with 15pts/15rbs in 24 mins
gary trent jr with 20pts and 4 steals, he was really good defensively too, better than i ever gave him credit for.

along with scotty, they are all 22 and under and our top 3 scorers tonight

 

[The Nemesis]

So this is a weird change of procedure: You guys didn't watch the Leafs game but I did
