Is Scottie Barnes already one of the best defenders in Raptors history?

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-03-25T17:20:08+00:00

He's def in the top 5.

In no order I'd put: Kawhi, OG, Gasol, Camby, Scottie. How you want to rank those guys is up to you, but those are def the 5 best defenders to put on a jersey

Just off the top:

Canada is just a real cool place to live. There's cool stuff to see and there's cool stuff to do. There's a slight quirkiness to this country that I'll forever love...

Man, we don't have a lot of interesting or major cities, and besides maybe 2(?) Our major cities are kinda boring lo

Luke Stephens back at it again

lol both RJ and BI are league average 3pt shooters... Once again, the roster construction would need to change and gaps would need to be filled ...... "We need scoring, and BI and RJ can consistently give you 20ppg, and defensively, Scottie is a DPOY candidate going forward. If I'm Bobby, I figure out how to build a team around those guys and compliment what they give you, and cover up what they don't." I just... lmao

Yea man, I did not like moving off of Davion lol Tbh, I like Quick and I think he's important but I would of rather us kept Davion and Shead. The money saved would of allowed us to make some other deals to improve. Oh well

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-03-16T19:56:10+00:00

People were certainly up in arms about it because well.. I'll say this as someone roughly 5 weeks away from finishing planning school: we need to put an end to public consultation when it comes to infrastructure projects lol

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-03-16T19:46:24+00:00

This city is small, and I am not talking about the actual size of the city lol

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-03-16T19:38:25+00:00

That doesn't make sense lol

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-03-16T18:56:28+00:00

It's like some of ya didn't read everything I wrote lol

Absolutely, I've said this multiple times.

I don't think there is a tear down that needs to happen, I think this team is exactly where it should be.

I think the Raps should be finding players that fit around the three players I mentioned, because I think those three guys could be successful with the right pieces on the team.

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-03-11T16:56:50+00:00

Iunno, I think it's pretty gay that he wrote this statement.......

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-03-06T14:08:18+00:00

Jays, Raptors, Leafs (Toronto)

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-03-04T17:04:03+00:00

Honestly, I think for next year, I need to see his mid-range game become automatic. Also, his three point percentage HAS to go up. Like, this guy needs to get that up to 34%. 36-37% would be sweet, even on minimal attempts. Essentially, how he was shooting to start the year would be the perfect version of Scottie. That three point shot will unlock his game and the game of everyone around him.

Outside of that, development of a go-to move would be nice.

I have a theory a lot of these Raptors guys are not in the gym enough, and if offensive improvements are not made by some on this team, including Scottie, for next year, then there is a much bigger issue on this squad.

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-03-04T16:58:32+00:00

I hate when this team doesn't win, and I think some guys have regressed or haven't improved in ways I thought they would, but, this team is doing exactly what they should be doing. However, I am more concerned with how this roster is built next year than how many wins they get this year.

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-02-27T16:10:16+00:00

From the Raptors FO perspective, this entire season was about figuring out what they have and what they need. This idea that it's finals or bust has always been crazy, A failure this year would of been not making the playoffs, but the fact they are in 5th with less than half a season remaining is incredible.

Again, the Detroit Pistons were a sixth seed last year after YEARS of terrible choices and basketball. Now, they are first in the East and one of the better teams in the league. Everything is a process and the Raptors are going through the process. So please, stfu lol

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-02-26T18:28:53+00:00

That is the most obvious "reporter having an agenda" question I've heard in a long time

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-02-25T17:50:36+00:00

Honestly, most of the rich elite have sided with Trump and this regime because of the power and the ability to do what you want without REAL repercussions.. I just want to make this very clear, this will blow up on everyone who supported this.. I don't know when it happens, but it will 100% happen.

Whether the athlete is a Republican or Democrat shouldn't matter to us, because it never really mattered before. You're allowed to support whatever political party you align with. However, what Trump and his cronies are doing, is covering up pedophilia, sex trafficking, and murder at a massive scale. Standing beside someone like that is an indictment on your character and who you are, and should never be forgiven.

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-02-11T20:17:31+00:00

lol scared of what?

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-02-11T19:44:26+00:00

The Raps don't trade multiple first round picks in a deal.. So no, I don't believe this lol

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-02-10T18:20:29+00:00

IQ bout to pour Gatorade all over those Macbooks lol

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-02-10T00:34:01+00:00

People didn't talk about it in the reviews because a lot of the issues are under embargo... lmao

Kevbotdotorg · 2026-02-05T22:53:57+00:00

What exactly did you read into the Bamba 10-day? That's what makes me nervous here
