THAT’s how Scottie Barnes will THRIVE for the Toronto Raptors | Brandon Ingram’s DAGGER sinks Nets
The Toronto Raptors closed out their preseason schedule with a 119-114 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday as Scottie Barnes dropped 31 points on 10/15 shooting. In Episode 1964, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the Raptors’ preseason finale and talk about why Barnes’ effort in the game laid out the blueprint for how he can succeed this coming season. Off the top, Sean digs into how Barnes managed to rack up a 31-6-4-3-1 line on incredible efficiency, why it should serve as the blueprint for the way he can impact winning at a high level this season, and why Brandon Ingram’s end-of-game dagger was indicative of how much better this team context is for Barnes to operate within than it’s been in years past. Next, Sean gets into some of the rotation patterns that revealed themselves in the final preseason game, including the interesting decision to hold Jakob Poeltl out of clutch time. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (RJ Barrett, streamlining again), The Bad (backcourt rim finishing) and The Hmmm (Goodbye, Ulrich Chomche) to round out the show.

The way this team was constructed, it doesn't give him the ability to play the waway he wants to. Playing like a C is not how he wants to play. This will just create is disgruntled star…
Scotty has gotten used to not getting calls. Unfotunately, he's fouled pretty often, with no calls.
Well, Scottie has to play inside but the issues is playing inside is harder because you have to bang with bigger tougher guys but playing outside needs good shooting which he doesn't have so it will be interesting to see how is he taking all these situations. When he is motivated he is playing hard but playing at that level in every game is something he is lacking so far.
Great overview thanks. Looking forward to this team the most since 2020 if not 2019. We have an identity and the talent to make other less confident teams suffer under our D and our various scoring options 👏🏼🏀🇨🇦
He just needs to stop shooting jumpers more times than not. Hes not that guy use your power and size , finish in the paint etc. I also love how today darko said they didnt do a good enough job getting bi the ball against the nets and in particular when i was watching the game , it was IQ at times damn near refusing to make the right pass or the extra pass to bi all night. He did it to rj a lot as well. And instead will drive into traffic than throw up a contested floater or a pull up 3 lol
Thanks for the overview. Let's go Raps!
