Nice stat line..... Read they were thinking of starting Rush over him....... I'd let this kid play 35 minutes a night.

C'mon though, we all know that preseason is fake basketball. It's a life-or-death game for like four or five guys that are fighting for those final roster spots, but it's like playing a game at the park for the rest. Hell, David Lee and Andrew Bogut sat out, Fest Ezeli and Jeremy Tyler combined for 48 minutes, and Carl Landry out performed Barnes in less time; I wouldn't be quick to make judgements.

(EDIT: He was also playing against Pat Calathes the entire game. Pat motherfuckin Calathes. Nope, not Nick Calathes, but his even less talented older brother, Pat Calathes.)

...I promise that I agree with, just wanted to bump this thread up to see if Draco was still around to profess his unwavering love for Harrison "Fucking" Barnes! :devilwink:
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

I realize it's preseason, I just think he is going to be good.

Oh, I agree that he's going to be good. The only question in my mind is whether or not he has it in him to dominate a game, consistently. As a NCAA fan first, I've sure seen a hell of a lot of Harrison Barnes over the last two years. I've seen him dominate a game, but I've also seen him sort of fade into the background in a lot of situations where he needed to be "the man." The talent's there, but I just wonder about his mindset. He doesn't really have that Kobe-esque edge on a regular basis.

Then again, if he did have that edge, there would have been a lot more speculation about who should have gone #1...
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

Shit, I'd rather have him on my squad then Waiters!
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

Barnes is like OJ Mayo 2.0, which isn't a bad thing. Mayo was pretty good when he had more opportunities to score.

I like him over Waiters and possibly Beal. More overall scoring skills than MKG too.

Exactly my thoughts. I watched him being hyped coming into college as the next sure thing, some even said the next T-Mac. Absolutely dominate high school player. His entire time at UNC he looked tentative, settling for jumpshots.

I'm not holding my breath on him ever making an AS game.

From what I've seen of him thus far, he lacks the ability to create for himself particularly well. His jumper has been better than advertised, he can slash quite well, but hes not going to break guys down off the dribble and get to the rim all on his own very often.

I look at him as a prime Rashard Lewis or Danny Granger type. Maybe Rudy Gay, but thats about as high as I'd go.

If he shoots 70+% from the field and 60% from 3-pt for his career, he'll be the greatest player who ever lived!

2 FTAs in 36 minutes isn't good, though.
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

McGrady didn't lose a single game in college.
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

mcgrady put up 26.8/7.5/4.6/1.5/1.5 in the nba as a college senior
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

And if you ask me a bit of a ball hog. Guy didn't have a single assist.
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

Harrison Barnes compared to Tracy McGrady?

Man, that's such an insult to TMac.

I hope McGrady's not one of those players that gets overlooked in the long-run. If I went on this forum in TMac's prime, the discussion would be "TMac or Kobe?"

Yeah, he fell off... but he sure left his mark, and if someone is going to compare another player to him, then they should be confident that the player will be a score-at-will dominant superstar. Otherwise, keep TMac out of the comparison.
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

Lillard schooled Steve Nash tonight.

Did Barnes even play?

Oh, he did. He had 6 points against the Suns.
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

lol Barnes won the starting job, scored 6 in 14 mpg and looked pretty decent for his first game as a 20 y/o.

Not saying he'll be better than Lillard, but lol at ripping on the guy in his first game.

Obviously you haven't read this thread. LOL!!!!!

LMAO!!!!
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

I read most of it, though I must admit its hard to keep up with the mass number of agendas around the PDX forum.

Yours is pretty obvious based on the previous propaganda-laden post.
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

Barnes PER: 9.3
Lillard PER: 18.9
 
Re: Harrison FUCKING Barnes

I was, and am still very happy we selected Lillard, but just because one guy is good, does not mean the other guy has to be bad. Barnes is going to take longer for sure, and will likely always be behind Lillard, but I do believe he will one day be a very good player.

I think the bigger initial issue was not who was going to be better as much as it was someone freaking out before they even played a second in the NBA.

The minutes argument is moot; PER is normalized so it's a per-minute stat.

Pretty much. We all have our legacies here, good or bad. Blaze01 made an extreme effort in this thread, and it appears to have been misguided. The force and passion behind the effort is what is most memorable, though.

Yeah, this is getting sad at this point. OP and others, take your abuse and roll with it. It was an over-the-top thread against a current RoY candidate that was not only noteworthy, but completely ridiculous in its misguided angst.

Didn't know where else to put this, but since you guys despise the T'Wolves I think it has a place here:
