Celtics broadcast: “You know whose name we haven’t called, Scottie Barnes. He out here?… What’s up with— I thought he was trending like a Giannis. I know it’s preseason maybe I shouldn’t overreact. I think the world of Scottie Barnes”

1. Fuck the Celtics

2. Trending like a Giannis is crazy. I have never heard the Giannis comp for Barnes

3. He looks bad out there. Over reaction is that he’s regressing and the pairing question with Ingram.

4. Time to trade him. Free him

5. He’s not wrong

6. 8 minutes into the 1st quarter…these guys could be raps fans the way they overreact

7. Barnes is not a franchise player

8. I think he focuses on defense and playmaking first every game

9. That’s a fair assessment to be honest.

10. They are right… He’s been good defensively this game but honestly nothing I’ve seen is giving me faith except for maybe a post fade. His offense and playmaking don’t seem to have grown much.

11. Giannis won MVP when he was the same age as barnes. Nobody thinks he will be Giannis anymore lol.

12. I thought I was crazy, but the trio of IQ, BI and RJ seems to be clicking much better without Scottie

13. I’m keeping my mouth shut till the regular season.

14. Wtf

    He’s been blocking the hell out of the paint and clamping most of his matchups this entire game

    Fuck y’all for real.

15. I have never understood the hype with him.

16. There’s still a large portion of people that still believe he is the absolute untouchable franchise player unfortunately.

    Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s very very good and could be a great 2 or 3 option, but I don’t think he’ll ever get to that point. And the excuses that he was just coasting instead of developing cause the team was bad is unacceptable to me Lmaoo

    I feel if we don’t make the playoffs, we need to fires sale now and collect picks/prospects as it would be absolutely appalling to miss with how bad this conference is. And honesty, probably should start with Scottie if that’s the case

17. Barnes era gotta be done after this season please

18. Me for the last two seasons

19. Barnes isn’t the guy to build your team around he’s a glue guy I’ve been saying we should trade him while he’s viewed as a franchise guy

20. Giannis is uber aggressive offensively, Scottie is not. Scottie prefers to defer than to dominate. It’s frustrating because he’s shown what he can do when he’s aggressive, but at this point I think he is what he is. And the front office getting more offensively talented guys like RJ, Quick, and BI probably tells us what they think as well.

21. Incoming essay from that wannabe reporter dude who is obsessed with Scottie.

22. They are right

23. scottie’s hype is all raptors PR. we hyped him up cuz he was our top 5 pick in a long while. but he had done nothing to show he could be the best player on a nba team. and every year he falls in love more and more with shooting 3s when we all know he’s below average shooter. so here we have an overhyped player who doesn’t even play to his strengths

24. been saying it for years, always downvoted

25. Bro just needs to get to the rim and use his size

26. Idk if that was scal, but he always had high opinions about barnes.

27. Barrett > Barnes

28. There’s legit parts of the game he’s very good at, just more Draymond than Giannis I’m afraid.

    Don’t know how smart it is to anoint a guy like that as a franchise guy

29. He’s honestly on more of the Aaron Gordon trajectory now
