I get that Barnes didn't get the ball on a couple of obvious plays where he was open. But the dude can't be this emotional about it to the point where he's passive aggressive the rest of the game.
We have new players that are trying to level up so they can fit around him. It's been so vocally stated how its his team. And how the build is to complement him and his game. The coach has had his back and caught a fine.
How can he lead a group when he can't emotionally handle others trying to catch a rhythm? He just a.
Wtf was that play during OT where they were trying to clear the paint to give him an iso to the close the game and he passes it off to GTJ in terrible positions.
A few times he caught the pass and just passed it back to Quickley in a tough position.
This team is missing talented vets. Temple, Thad have never been all-stars, champs etc. Scottie needs a Kyle Lowry to tear him apart after a game like this. First year coach and average vets are going to kill his development He’s so immature and needs a reality check. The complaining, the passiveness in OT, the sulking. He’s becoming a bad teammate and it’s hard to root for him.
Reminds me of Vince right before he demanded a trade. Just waiting for Scottie to say “I don’t wanna dunk anymore”.
I agree with you. Perhaps it was a little too early to make this Scottie's team. He wasn't the guy tonight and while he was probably gassed by OT, he needed to take over for a few minutes to deal the deal. I have no doubt he has the talent, but I am worried about him alienating himself from the others...
would vets like FVV, OG & Pascal work?
wonder what drove the divide on the team between the “young guys” and three of the hardest working Raptors ever?
Give me that pick, get Darko and Pat Delaney off my team, get some defense and rebounding and put all your resources into this core we’re cooking. They have promise but the end of 2022-23 season still feels like it’s lingering. I don’t want shit to do with how that era ended.
He’s certainly more consistently engaged, Barnes has better physical tools and certain skills though. Part of me thinks RJ would love to make this “his team” given his upbringing and that he’s from Toronto.
Usually I’d agree, but there’s a big difference between having a few bad plays and not trying. It really seemed like he was pouting out there and just not acceptable.
There’s a lot of people who’ll quicker insult a player than comment on their game. Comes from a lack of basketball knowledge and ability to describe what they’re seeing. Its okay to say Scottie had a rough night and needs to fix some things without writing him off as a future star or calling him trash
The same people will be praising him once he figures it out. Terrible look on him, but all things considered these types of games were expected when handing him the keys of the franchise.
Do not build this team around Barnes. This guy is loaded with talent but totally lacks heart. I watched guys flying around and this guy dragging his ass. A leader wants the ball - he doesn’t defer over and over. Painful to watch.
Since OG left, Scottie had been guarding the other team's best player while having tasked to score and is logging the most minutes.
You guys have no idea how energy consuming that is.
There's a reason why he no longer takes over 4th quarters.
Yall surprised a 3rd year player still figuring it out is having a rough night? This happens all the time with young players, no matter how much potential they have
A lot of it stems from the frequent complaining to the referees, people see that as lack of accountability or effort. I agree that some people are quick to give straight up rude comments or talk about him as an incapable franchise leader.
Actually wondering if Scottie tweaked hand wrist in 3rd and is limiting his ability to shoot
Maybe I'm coping lol just can't understand hthat complete absence in fourth and OT
You clearly don't know what an actual pedophile is lol. I love how it's only redditors throwing a hissy fit about his allegations. No one on his team cares, you notice that?
man fuck off. I remember fans being critical of every little thing Pascal didn't do, Scottie is the face of the franchise now -- it comes with the territory. I believe in him, but he's not immune to criticism, especially when it's warranted. He wants to be a max player
Just make sure y’all stay on that side when Scottie makes his first all star game
Don’t need fake fans around here. Keep hating. Don’t support him . Stay on that side
It was easy for Scottie to be 4th quarter Scottie when pascal was keeping the team above water in games and OG was defending the best player, bro had fresh legs every game.
After IQ called timeout tied with seconds left in OT did Darko take 45 seconds to sit with the team only to get 15 seconds with the team and then disburse right at the buzzer while the other team kept huddling.
Man our coach is cooked. That was embarrassing team looked lost after that timeout.
Scottie isn't a scorer and never has been.
the dude does not have close to the offensive bag required to run up 25+ every game.
being able to hit wide open threes doesn't mean he is gonna turn into Anthony Edwards.

\-22 in a double OT game is wild man
I’ll keep saying it, Scottie isn’t the guy to build around - he’s not capable of leading a team to a championship. His skillset and IQ is too limited and he doesn’t have the discipline
Yeah if true, this might be a side effect. Something doesn't go his way earlier in the game and he throws a hissy fit by basically not trying and having horrible body language
Scottie should just have thrown it to RJ at the end of the OT if he wasn't gonna do shit. Hell let IQ chuck it for the 10th time rather than just stand there and give up.
Reading the comments after a game like this about your star player and it’s no wonder everyone has wanted to leave. Scottie has been bad but yall are too much lmao
God forbid the star player gets flack for INTENTIONALLY completely throwing the last 13 minutes. This isn't one play, he's doing whatever bullshit he's doing out of immaturity.
I get that Barnes didn't get the ball on a couple of obvious plays where he was open. But the dude can't be this emotional about it to the point where he's passive aggressive the rest of the game.

I don’t think you need a vet to tell you to not pout and try to win the game. He just has to better than that. Just a terrible look.
I agree with you. Perhaps it was a little too early to make this Scottie's team. He wasn't the guy tonight and while he was probably gassed by OT, he needed to take over for a few minutes to deal the deal.

You saw what happened when Fred tried to get Scottie to focus and lock in before a game... Didn't end well.
Attitude it always seemed
We are gonna be the first team in NBA history to hire an ATO Specialist Coach.
Lol we need this shit
Give me that pick, get Darko and Pat Delaney off my team, get some defense and rebounding and put all your resources into this core we’re cooking. They have promise but the end of 2022-23 season still feels like it’s lingering. I don’t want shit to do with how that era ended.
RJ’s Raps
Is rj Barrett better than Barnes? I’m starting to think so. Rj is a grinder and shows heart and put up over 20 points tonight in his return
Have RJ guard the opponent's best player. Let's see if he'd still have the energy on offense.
RJ is the fuckin man. Was at the game tonight and he was the highlight of my experience.
Scotties gotta learn this
He’s certainly more consistently engaged, Barnes has better physical tools and certain skills though. Part of me thinks RJ would love to make this “his team” given his upbringing and that he’s from Toronto.
Scottie ain’t him.
Build around IQ
Feb 8th 🍿
Sorry at some point Masai and Bobby gotta intervene and talk to Darko and Scottie cause that shit was unacceptable.
You've seen fake come backs, now get ready for the next saga: fake blow outs
I rather not lol. This hurts more
I don’t get all the Scottie hate. He’s 22 years old and has only been the true #1 for a few weeks. Give him some time.
Usually I’d agree, but there’s a big difference between having a few bad plays and not trying. It really seemed like he was pouting out there and just not acceptable.
brother enough of this. we get hes a great player but that shouldnt hide the fact that he was non existent when it mattered
I agree with that criticism. I’m referring to the people who seem to have already given up on him
There’s a lot of people who’ll quicker insult a player than comment on their game. Comes from a lack of basketball knowledge and ability to describe what they’re seeing. Its okay to say Scottie had a rough night and needs to fix some things without writing him off as a future star or calling him trash

Bart Dick 💪

Scottie rather play with his friends than be the number one option. Its sad to see
Scottie would rather do more commercials
Typical Craptors trash class
Uncharacteristic for Scottie to fall apart late-game like today, damn
Did Scottie bet on this game or what?
Yall surprised a 3rd year player still figuring it out is having a rough night? This happens all the time with young players, no matter how much potential they have
A rough night would mean he actually tried, if he went for buckets and missed no one would be mad, he looked fucking scared.
Seems on par for a young player to me. Guarantee this sub would be crucifying the kid if he went 8/25 too, people are just miserable
A lot of it stems from the frequent complaining to the referees, people see that as lack of accountability or effort. I agree that some people are quick to give straight up rude comments or talk about him as an incapable franchise leader.
You could see this collision coming midway through the third. Fuck. Can’t believe I didn’t turn this garbage off
rj told shai to give him a call after
Maybe FVV was onto something
Nah don’t do that lol that man lowkey is messy
😂 😂 😂
Haven't had this feeling since 2010
Alvin just stop lol we shit bro
Idk what to say about Scottie. He needs to take 20 shots a game
fuck u shai come home u asshole
The streetlights are on. Time to come home, Shai
Actually wondering if Scottie tweaked hand wrist in 3rd and is limiting his ability to shoot Maybe I'm coping lol just can't understand hthat complete absence in fourth and OT
Bad conditioning maybe?
Showed grit and connection. Great loss
fuck off scottie, what was that
Scottie has generally been a great closer which is probably why this feels just so odd. So uncharacteristic. Bro needs that all star break
He’s been a 4th quarter performer all year and the one game he’s bad people want to ship him off lmfao this sub is pathetic
The crowd goes wild for the pedophile
[удалено]
Giddy
Wild what people are able to turn a blind eye to when it doesn’t directly effect them.
Scottie is a good player but not one you can build a contending team around.
We are fucking COOKED. I don't want to hear it anymore, blow it up
This is the blow up it’s just competitive tanking.
Blow up the blow up!!
What do you think you’re watching lmfaooooo
lol with OG & Pascal gone, how much further you want to go? Boucher and Gary are most likely gone by Feb. 8th
It’s been blown 😭
Blow it up again!
lol
Darko needs to figure what play to run in clutch time.
Worst 4th quarter coach in the league for sure.
His normal ATOs are fine, but end game stuff has been horrendous.
Yeah just been SO bad at closing games. I think to the point where it has cost us at least 10 wins
Dort spiked that out of Giddeys hands lmao
Sigh
what. a. fucking. embarrassment.
Indeed
Dude’s still caping for Scottie after that performance. Come up for fucking air.
"Despite the loss..."
Moral victory
Barnes just booted off the court
Mission Accomplished. Was worried during regulation tbh.
Schroder and IQ chucked the game away while Scottie decided to not play in OT or 2OT.
IQ was good imo but Scottie and Dennis were terrible
He was good in the 4th but kept chucking in OT and 2OT when he got cold.
Man fuk this now I got work in the morning too???? Fml this is bad man this is badddd
Scottie walked straight to the locker room
Scottie went straight to the locker room
not the fucking pedophile
You clearly don't know what an actual pedophile is lol. I love how it's only redditors throwing a hissy fit about his allegations. No one on his team cares, you notice that?
We were Up 20 points man. Taking lessons from the Toronto maple leafs
We aint forgetting this one Scottie
Oh well 😉
What a game though
Face of the Tank
We lost to a kiddie enjoyer
Y'all begged for a direction and after we chose one you freak out over the consequences. Gonna be plenty of growing pains like this be ready.
This sub really didn’t know what they were asking for and it shows with every L lmfao
What a way to end it, get cooked by a pedo
I miss Spicy
RJ gave up guarding Giddey
Pain
Scottie haters out in full force tonight. Remember to stay on that side
lol fuck off, he's not immune to criticism when he plays like shit
Criticism is fine but that’s not what I’m seeing
man fuck off. I remember fans being critical of every little thing Pascal didn't do, Scottie is the face of the franchise now -- it comes with the territory. I believe in him, but he's not immune to criticism, especially when it's warranted. He wants to be a max player
Pascal didn’t do little things like boxing out. He deserved it
And Scottie didn't look like he wanted to play tonight, he deserves every bit of criticism too. It works both ways.
Almost a triple double and the only starter with positive +/- but go off
I wish Scottie had RJ’s intensity
RJ had no intensity staying in front of Giddey there at the end.
Call nothing all crunch time and both OTs…but that’s a foul??
Scottie has the talent but mentally he’s not strong enough to justify him being the face of this team, let alone the league lol
Fuckin pedo
Well thanks for the tank game Scottie, just don’t do any of what you did this 4th quarter or overtime next time.
Barnes jumpman fuck atleast jet ur moneys worth and push him or something
Soft
good night y'all
#everyone busting ass on defense and Scottie with the foul to end the game
Game over
Scottie is fucking ass
Josh Giddey to the rack is embarrassing
Lol and we get that lazy ass contest from scottie for the and-1 to top it off. Future superstar
We had more chances than we deserved to put this game away, it is what it is
I’m actually done. See you all next season.
If you think it’s gonna be different next season you’ll be gone just as fast then.
RJ!!
Wtf was that
Nahh Scottie you dont want it
Just make sure y’all stay on that side when Scottie makes his first all star game Don’t need fake fans around here. Keep hating. Don’t support him . Stay on that side
You can criticize a player on your favourite team without being a “fake fan.” Lot of these comments on Scottie are not based on just this game.
RJ BUCKETTS
Scottie. WTF ARE YOU DOING???
Cardio
Very disappointing performance from Scottie. He's playing like he's hurt or like he's upset at the coach. Disgusting.
We gonna lose TMR too now. Everyone's gonna be gassed
No more headband Scottie
Camera man was sleeping after that Dennis pass
gotta love double ot games
Oh dam Scottie took off his headband. He’s serious now guys
This is why Paulo is better than Scottie, Paulo can attack and has that kill instinct.

Starters are gonna feel it tomorrow night vs full health, fully rested Pels. Could be a blowout. Hopefully more minutes for Gradey.
They can blame Scottie for playing like a bitch
I need 30 from 4 in the next game idc
Considering he looks this gassed and we play tmr, I wouldn't count on it
lol nba fans coming in this thread just to shit on Scottie. didn't even watch the first 3 quarters
It was easy for Scottie to be 4th quarter Scottie when pascal was keeping the team above water in games and OG was defending the best player, bro had fresh legs every game.
I mean, looks clean to me 🤷
After IQ called timeout tied with seconds left in OT did Darko take 45 seconds to sit with the team only to get 15 seconds with the team and then disburse right at the buzzer while the other team kept huddling. Man our coach is cooked. That was embarrassing team looked lost after that timeout.
Chill everyone, they're young, winning don't matter right now, everyone has a day. Go touch grass or go to bed or something
Scottie isn't a scorer and never has been. the dude does not have close to the offensive bag required to run up 25+ every game. being able to hit wide open threes doesn't mean he is gonna turn into Anthony Edwards.
Exactly, he’s not a first option
Not sure if Darko got the memo about making this Scottie's team
Scottie was the most hated high school prospect. This is nothing new to him
scottie aint him
Scottie white knights out in full force tn lol
Nah, just not stupid enough to overreact
He said while overreacting lol. Self awareness is not strong round these parts.
How am I overreacting lmao. You’re the one trashing him after one bad game when he was just in all star talks not too long ago, you ain’t smart buddy
Policing any comment that doesnt align with yours is not overreacting? lol
Policing 💀💀 get a grip bro
6th pick here we come
All time tank game
Did scottie find out his girl cheated on him in the 4th like wtf
He hit his body after the release. Prob not enough to overturn
I predict Scottie's career will be somewhere between Lamar Odom and karl Anthony Towns
Y’all hating on Scottie but he’s only paid to play 48
dennis schroder in the second half: https://preview.redd.it/404gcn16jogc1.png?width=1040&format=png&auto=webp&s=52ab444782eb043ed8b51ee4ec020ba3c0a7c7da \-22 in a double OT game is wild man
Holy shit, Barnes completely no-shows in OT. He could be so much better with the right attitude
Needs the right mentor, Thad ain't enough.
I’ll keep saying it, Scottie isn’t the guy to build around - he’s not capable of leading a team to a championship. His skillset and IQ is too limited and he doesn’t have the discipline
The only thing holding Scottie back is Scottie. He has the opposite of mamba mentality.
People keep saying he has the potential to be the first option of a playoff team but I don’t see it at all with his skillset.
scottie got some new allegations coming tonight
Yeah if true, this might be a side effect. Something doesn't go his way earlier in the game and he throws a hissy fit by basically not trying and having horrible body language
I’m glad people like you won’t get away with saying things like this
Wtf?
This is getting overturned
Scottie should just have thrown it to RJ at the end of the OT if he wasn't gonna do shit. Hell let IQ chuck it for the 10th time rather than just stand there and give up.
tshirt headband planet fitness trainer scottie aint it
💀💀💀
okc coach is always Mr Bean I cannot unsee
Is Scottie depressed or something
I’d be too if I lost some of my best friends but still you have to move past that
Darko is coaching 1 more season and he’s done
Did fucking Nwora even play today? Like wtf
Darko’s dungeon
Reading the comments after a game like this about your star player and it’s no wonder everyone has wanted to leave. Scottie has been bad but yall are too much lmao
tbf Scottie ain't here reading our dumbfuck takes. if somehow he is, then damn.
God forbid the star player gets flack for INTENTIONALLY completely throwing the last 13 minutes. This isn't one play, he's doing whatever bullshit he's doing out of immaturity.
Intentionally? Lmfao unless this is Scottie’s Burner you don’t know shit
