@@pensarebasketball NGL bro. The way Scottie’s number are holding up against Jokic, Kawhi, etc. Reminds me a one of my favourite quotes: “Everything is hard, until it is easy.” It’s all starting to look so easy for him!
@GOATiology he's indeed breathing rarified air. Why does it feel like the media is just waiting for a 5 point stinker to throw water on everything. Sigh. These people. Josh compared him to Andrea Bargnani today.
This channel is changing the narrative on Scottie. Too bad it took one game televised to 132 countries documenting Scotties dominance for mainstream media to finally notice. There's no escaping it, they're even discussing Pascal trades to get Scottie proper help. Your channel is making a difference in the Raptors media space. Thanks Rob for what you do.
Thanks so much as always Jonathan. Really happy this community is so supportive of Scottie. You're almost all such smart people, so many of you are independent thinkers, critical thinkers, athletes. Love this community more than this community loves this channel, I promise lol.
Scottie Barnes 2023 average: 22pts, 8rebs, 7assists, 1.5 steals, 2 blocks If the raptors are north of .500 half way into the season, it will be Scottie's first all-star appearance (of many to come). Great video Rob!
Great stuff. Gave me chills. I've been a Barnes believer from Day 1. It was his composure on offense that impressed me, how he'd pause for a beat if there was an opportunity blooming, and make some smart passes that took real vision to execute. I thought, if this is him figuring out how to play in the NBA, look out. Now he's seeing his distance offense come together, which is only going to open more opportunities for passing as well as drives to the rim that I think he gets a lot of joy out of. So much to say about his defensive game too. Absolutely a thrill to watch. Your neighbour knows what's up.
Great summary. Thanks for doing a high quality ten minutes. I enjoy your show but these clips work better for me. Everything you said about Scottie is true.
Beautiful video! You have reminded me of all the reasons why I love watching Scottie play every game! Why I support and believe so much in him as a player and person. He is a superstar! There is no doubt! Love that you mentioned your neighbour and her love of Scottie! Really touched my heart! Thank you!
So happy to see Scottie putting it together. You can really tell he was being held back last year and it's great to see him unleashed, aggressive, and upgraded with his improved shooting. Can't wait to watch him the rest of the season!
crazy how a week before the nba season people said i was overreacting when i made a vid and said scottie and giannis are comparable, how he has potential to be an allstar, and how he is the best player in his class. I guess its all coming together and this vid does a perfect job silencing the haters :)
I saw Scotty coming. In summer league when he made a wrong hand no look pass down the court in the first quarter of his first game I knew he was going to be great!
I think Scottie is a chameleon to the NBA world, to the outsiders. They rank him so slow because they barely see him. On the court, He can mold his game into whatever type of player you need, and won't be biggest liability of any grouping.
I didn't know Scottie before the we drafted him. But he almost immediately became my favourite player. 'What's Good, Toronto?' That penned Players' Tribune letter/article was really all it took to seal it. I re-read it from time to time. I fkn love that kid.
Fantastic video, Rob. Really puts the magnitude of what he’s accomplished in these first 7 games in perspective. No reason to believe he can’t be even better. He’s still learning. Loved the cameos of Toronto’s media knuckleheads as well. Lol.
THAT was AWESOME and NEEDS to be played on all main stream sports channel. Will never happen but jus sayin! Continue to let your passion shine through, you're top tare Robert and I'm sure Scottie sees and appreciate this! 🔥🔥🔥
If the rest of the team realizes their roles relative to Scottie, the impossible could be this year's reality. There is an intangible, which is that he seems as fine a human as he is a baller and he is magnetizing all around him. Watch it happen to Pascal. Get on the bus, get on the bus, get on the bus.
Wow! You've outdone yourself, Rob. So glad Scottie is finally starting to get his flowers. So impressed with your growth since you started this channel. You're a unicorn in the Raptors (new) media space. Congrats!
I've missed these. Dont get me wrong, the live streams are good but this was the root to your climb early on. Great videos with great edits and the right ones may just blow this channel to unparalleled levels for a channel mostly focused on the raptors
Its unbelievable Scottie isnt top 10 in the under 25 players, that will quickly change and espn will have to eat their words. I garuntee he will use that as fuel to become better just as he did this offseason! I see him averaging 22, 10 and 6 this season with solid shooting splits and at least 1.5 steals and blocks.
What a wonderful watch. Thank you for your hard work. Wonderful if Scotty found out and got to meet your neighbour and indirectly you got to meet Scotty! Keep up the great content
Wow Rob, very, very well done. Your channel continues to be a beacon of awesomeness in the world of Toronto Raptors content. Very much loved the less than subtle jabs at our Media "Experts". hgh praise
love your long videos but these short flashy videos will help with spreading the Scotty message out to the masses. that is what you wanted anyways right haha
Barnes is already at Scottie Pippen levels. He will be an all time great in the future. Management has to be on top of they're game to keep him happy and constantly providing him with a team to compete for championships
New sub. Loved your neighbor story and hope you show her the channel at some point :) I've always loved Scottie but never realized his superstar potential. At least until now.
scottie's skillset physically and mentally has never stopped growing from the minute he got drafted and he's only what, 22? it's nuts how good he can be
This is great stuff but lets be realistic and honest. We all know what he can be but lets let him grow and develop without these types of expectations right away. These numbers will most likely drop throughout the season. So lets not turn on him when they do. Enjoy the process. Love this guy! He is special and we are lucky to have him. The future is bright.
They might drop. They may also rise. You have no idea how much the offense suppressed him last season. Also he's a strong start, weak middle strong finish player. That's been the pattern. I expect by seasons end he's north of 5bpm. That would be higher than any Pascal, DeMar or Fred season. If he holds 7+ or wow if he goes to 8-9-10 you're talking MVP talks.
@@pensarebasketballon a side note, have you watched Will Lou (I know, I don't like his basketball takes either) with Dennis Schroeder? What he says about Scottie is priceless.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 video ✅ I’ve been vocal about Siakam not being a max or #1 since the title. I loved Scottie’s pick. I loved roty. I’ve been pissed off that last year after being roty they still kept him as a third or so option. I was angry we didn’t tank and possibly even gotten Wemby or scoot , pieces to build around Scottie. Teams that do it right.. get 2 pieces or rarely win or succeed with just 1. Happy for his play so far. I still feel like he’s definitely not there just yet. I feel like his shot isn’t as good as it needs to be and hope he can work on it and get there
we have 2 horrible losses(Chi and Portland) but we also have 4 extremely impressive wins(3 against top teams in the league). I prefer a team that can wake up and beat the best of the best vs a team that can only beat up on the bad teams
The numbers jump has been interesting that it coincided with a change in coaching. Our movement does seem a bit more fluid with quicker passing and hand offs and I don't know if that suits Scotties play and youthful energy more maybe? I'm sure it's a combination of many factors including the ones you've covered but I've noticed he doesn't seem the carefree smiling Scottie anymore cracking up the veterans I'm not saying he doesn't smile or have fun ever but he's definitely grown up a lot and just seems a lot more focused on every play It's a long season but might see what odds I can get on Scottie Barnes becoming an all star or winning most improved player already 😂
@@pensarebasketball btw just checked Scottie is already 3rd favorite to win most improved player. Behind Cameron Thomas and Tyrese Maxey so I guess jury's out that he's likely to have a breakout season already
You can say im smoking crack but I was watching Jordan highlights and he dribble, shoot, and move like Jordan. Not saying hes as good, but moves like him
Scottie’s taking a backseat so pascal Can get his numbers the past few games is very concerning. Reddick is right. Raps need to do some trades to build around Scottie. End the pascal / Scottie era. They can’t play together.
I have to give you your flowers. Last year you saw something in an off year that I didn't pay enough attention to. Pascal.' 's numbers were a product of coaching not talent. I get it thanks
(*sniff). Not to be weird or anything, but if you're close enough with your neighbour (you seem to know quite a bit about her) and have the time, maybe watch some games live with her. I have a feeling that it would really make her day.
Awfully fun watching the media squirm a little bit and walk back takes here justify them there and more or less make fools of themselves. Crazy how much they clowned a young top tier talent when most organizations pray the get a guy like that to build off of
Haha. U tell it Pensare. Are you trying to out do the media giants again? Shame! Lol Having alternative perspective is never in vogue P. Dont sweat it. Congrats on last year's prognosticating. U nailed the big one. Look forward to seeing the short of this go viral. Make it so.
This gave me goosebumps 🥹

Excited for tonight scottie vs luka you know hes showing up for big games like tonight
Great summary. Thanks for doing a high quality ten minutes. I enjoy your show but these clips work better for me. Everything you said about Scottie is true.
Great Video. You nailed it. Im 65 and rooting for Scottie since Day 1. Never been excited about a player since Vince Carter and Kawhi.
You have impeccable taste in star players lol😂

What a video once again Robert! I’m so glad I’ve been tuning in for over a year now
Yo....Oscar and Magic?! Dang. I got emotional with that statement...could it be?
I didn't watch enough of Oscar to talk on it. But def see the Magic stuff. Always have.

Thanks a lot. I do play one in real life.
This channel is going to blow up this year!!
You’re a great writer, man. Awesome thoughts and narrative. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Appreciate it! Thank you
Love these videos, Rob. Your production value is putting Secret Base to shame. Keep it up!
Omg no 😭 I love Secret Base. Not quite there yet friend but really appreciate your comment and support.
@@pensarebasketball lol I like them, too but some dives or too deep for me.
@BamSplat check out the video on the Charlotte Bobcats (the men you're paying to wear shorts or something like that)
Scottie has next, the disrespect by espn. Let em know scottie. Great stuff pensaree
Should have kept intro going through video. Love the intro
Hey, just want to give you props for fighting to reverse the character assassination Scottie was experiencing last year.
Always 👍💪💪💪
Beautiful, just beautiful video homie
Appreciate it
EPIC VID BRO GO SCOTTIEEEEE💪💪
Rob with the rare video drop let's goo
Lol rare indeed.
Awesome video! Big fan of your work 😊
Thank you so much 😀

Great stuff Rob.
Almost brought me to tears... knowing the hate this kid got all of last year.
BTW.... shots fired!!!!!!
haha... well done

It's a long season but might see what odds I can get on Scottie Barnes becoming an all star or winning most improved player already 😂
We're number 1 in assist percentage so the shift has been drastic, and clearly in his favor.
@@pensarebasketball btw just checked Scottie is already 3rd favorite to win most improved player. Behind Cameron Thomas and Tyrese Maxey so I guess jury's out that he's likely to have a breakout season already
I just checked. Over any 7 stretch game for all players in nba, Barnes’ box plus minus ranks 5724th in nba history
You'd absolutely need to filter for role, usage and minutes. Easy to have a 8bpm if you play 2 minutes.
Inspirational
Thank you!
Hopefully they sign Shank McSnipletts to the broadcast booth
You can say im smoking crack but I was watching Jordan highlights and he dribble, shoot, and move like Jordan. Not saying hes as good, but moves like him
Lol 🤣 yeah Jordan was a different beast in terms of athletes. But we can all pray he has some Jordan in him.
If Masai/Bobby play their cards right, there is a reality where the Raptors win their 2nd title with Scottie.
LOL, had to include doug smith.
Great video. HIM
if you made up that neighbor story i'm not even mad cause it was moving as hell, great video
Lol I thought the same thing but dont care enough to be bothered
WHAT? ESPN rankes SB 16th...😢😢😢
It's my bad. BR had him 16th. I think ESPN had him 15th. I said outside of top 15 and it should be outside of top 14.
If you don’t hit like and subscribe after a video like this, you’re doing yourself a disservice
Lol thank you man, as always.
Scottie’s taking a backseat so pascal
Can get his numbers the past few games is very concerning. Reddick is right. Raps need to do some trades to build around Scottie. End the pascal / Scottie era. They can’t play together.
Anyone notice that Scottie does not like Grainge? Obvious in the interviews
