[Highlight] Scottie Barnes with the clutch block on Avdija’s layup attempt
the amount of times he’s come up with clutch late game stops already this year is wild… remarkable defensive player
DPOY
He special
1st team All D
We’ve never had one
Never had a first team anything if I’m not mistaken.
I figured there was no way Kawhi didn’t make a 1st team in 2019, but he was on 2nd team for both All-NBA and All-Defense.
Crazy work.
I don’t think he played enough games to justify first team. Certainly played like one
Got some first team rookies lol 😎
Nuts that neither Gasol nor Anunoby were awarded.
Feel like its harder to get defense team votes if you dont stick out amongst your team mates. Raptors teams in that era were build on defense, hard to pick OG out at a surface level, when Siakam, Ibaka, Gasol are all switching and garding the same guys.
Also OG’s appendix tanked his name recognition during the main time US media was covering the raptors.
Get that garbage outta here
Iconic
Face of the league sct brn
just got SCT BRNED
It’s Scotties now. Man will block you and pass a tissue to wipe as you cry to the ref
Jack Armstrong is such a fun commentator
There’s a small portion of Raps fans that don’t like him, I think for the perceived corniness, but I love Jack. He also released a Christmas album in 2022 with proceeds going to charity. All in all, he’s a pretty good person and a great commentator
Clutch missed call by the refs lol, the guy before grabbed his hand
#23 legit slapped his forearm. Insane no-call.
Makes up for all the bs calls earlier in the game
Can’t expect the refs to bail you out in the last 10 seconds because you can’t score against a 6 ft guard
Nah. That’s just a bad missed call.
Gets missed all the time, caruso has made a whole career outta this. Plus you were down four anyways.
Nice whataboutism there. Just calling the fact that it was a badly missed call. That was my only point.
Never engage with raptors fans on here. Not worth it.
Good call. I thought us northerners could get along.
I just don’t think we should be all shocked and appalled that the refs swallowed the whistle in the final 10 seconds of a game
Cool block…but Shead grabbed Deni’s shooting arm on the way up. Twice.
Surprised that wasn’t called….
…but im also not surprised.
I feel like the defence knows they can be a little more aggressive at the end of the game knowing that refs swallow the whistle. It does happen sometimes, but I feel like refs feel uncomfortable calling fouls in the last minute in a close game.
Funny thing is Shead is caught on camera saying he fouled him. But nevertheless, the block was clean 😂
If you’re depending on the refs to bail you out in the last minute of the game driving on a dude 8 inches shorter than you that’s just bad basketball brother
If the shoe was on the other foot I think you’d want the right call to be made in the clutch, no?
No shit, doesn’t mean it isn’t common to see stuff like that go uncalled at the end of games
Scottie coming for that DPOY
When he gets his accolades this season it doesn’t trigger the super max clause. No one can crap on his contract after this season.
People crap on his contract? You get roty, you get the max. It ain’t that complicated.
Bill Simmons did
Bill Simmons doesn’t like Basketball
Bill Simmons has as much credibility as any other drunk old guy in boston. He’s just got a nice microphone and an agent.
Blocked
Deni’s
Shot
Pretty bad missed call on the previous defender
Y’all can downvote all you want it was blatant https://i.imgur.com/7wpDUoi.png
It’s actually kind of hilarious when notorious foul baiters actually get fouled and don’t get the call lmao.
suddenly notorious? i’d bet that this is your first deni comment since he got drafted lmfao
Brother he’s not SGA or Embiid for me to comment every two days about him. If it weren’t for the flopping no one would even know who he is lol
How he foul bait?
getting to the paint as fast as he can and try to score when he got actual contract
Giannis foul bait too according to this logic
The same way Jimmy butler does. Is he not a free throw merchant too by that logic.
Guys like Giannis get sent to the line because they suck at free throws. That isn’t baiting fouls
Deni kinda suck at free throw too usually(this year is an outlier)
Jimmy got different game ,he pump fake millions time
Deni “foul baiting” game is very simple like Giannis
In his last 15 games he’s 80.5%.
Jimmy does all kinds of foul baiting including driving looking for a foul
You gave one the worst example possible of foul baiter
The only reason they are similar,that they score most of their point in the paint or the free throw line
but their game is not similar st all
He’s not special enough to be talked about like that lol
Bunch of missed calls on the opposite end. And Deni shot 15 free throws. Same as Scottie and Ingram combined. Everyone else on the raptors got 0,1,2. Free throw merchant in the making. And he just shot 23 Free throws the other night. No one tryna hear all that
Keep crying dude has shot 40 free throws in the last 2 games yet yall still here complaining
Lol man I’m not in my feelings or anything, I’m just saying there was a pretty bad missed foul there that leads to this block
Refs had a very loose whistle today, especially near the basket.
[removed]
you don’t gotta use a literal David Duke invented slur to be against occupation bruh
Really hoping that was not purposeful but coming off top with KKK lingo is definitely a choice….
Be quiet before I call in a drone strike🥸
You can keep this shitty kind of comment to 4chan or something dude
Rich? We are top 5 in the nation for homelessness per capita. If you’re gonna be a dickhead, at least be correct.
BitS (baddie in the stands) camera time
Toronto might have the most baddies per square kilometer
Bro complaining about not getting the whistle when he has shot more FTs than the whole Raptors team outside of the blazers intentionally fouling at the end. Got a soft whistle all game
Not a blazers fan but that was a terrible hack. It seems like every year this shit gets worse.
He’s a foul baiter so whatever
Boy who cried wolf in this case.
Bro really? As a thunder fan
We saw what your boy did last game against us lmao.
Yeah, he foul baited. Like Shai does. I don’t know why we decide to be intentionally stupid just to argue emotionally
I mean in this instance they showed the opposite angle and Shead straight grabs his elbow.
https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1pcsysj/highlight_deni_avdija_gets_hit_hard_in_the_arm/
He doesn’t straight grab anything. He swipes down makes contact with his arm and then pulls away. It’s pretty soft contact and with the way the Blazers got away with hacks all game I don’t see how that should be a foul. Jak got hit across both arms and the body but didn’t get the call just happens sometimes
MrBuckBuck in shambles
The hack is obvious here
If you can’t stop him getting to the paints without fouls
you can’t complain about his game or FTs
that was easy
Foul
Shame it can’t happen every time Deni sprints out of control through the lane hunting fouls and not even trying to score. I thought it might just be that bad when he played against the Thunder, but it was just as bad tonight. Bro plays incredibly ugly basketball.
So ugly, insufferable offensive play style. Wouldn’t catch me with his jersey
Damn thunder fans that’s rich coming from YOU🤣🤣
At least the dude sprint towards the rim and not towards the scores table like some Sideways-Going-Alexander
Maybe it’s because you specifically got a problem lol
He got 9 FTA per games
not 16FTA and ofc not 23FTA
Nah, I can enjoy almost every player on every team. I enjoy watching a lot of nba each season. He wasn’t this bad til the end of last season into this one. Old Deni was fun to watch. Then he decided to reinvent himself into the ultimate foul hunter. It’s just painful to watch. And before someone goes there, I realize SGA hunts fouls at times. But he actually tries to score and do more than hunt fouls. It’s basically 80% of Deni’s game at this point.
Deni game is getting to the paint like Gainnis at all cost
with less finishing abilites
How ugly it’s could be if he doesn’t get 23fta/16fta
Temu Giannis. I’m down with this.
I hate that I love Scottie so much smh
Easy to block shots when the refs don’t call the blatant hack right before. My god…
Portland shot 11 more ft and shot 10 more 3’s than the Raps. Deni had 15 FTA. Refs were more than fair for the blazers.
How does it change the fact that refs fked this call?
How did that affect the block ? Lol
Slower to get the shot up
Ok butterhole
Only my wife can talk dirty to me
Fair. Have a nice night.
I mean, it wouldn’t be a block if it was a dead ball.
We are farther north.
Scottie too fuckin Hottie!!!!
Trading for B.I unlocked a new level to Scottie, I love it.
2nd game winning block of the year? DPOY??
One of his best games as a pro. Was everywhere, and steadied the offence when they were struggling.
That could have been a yoink
So many clutch blocks from him this season… Has to be in the running for DPOY
Sct Brn is a prblm
Deni immediately whining to the refs like bro they’re already giving you everything under the sun for the last 4 games how about you shut the fuck up
Dtidf
Avdija so not clutch
The raptors are rapping this season. Toronto drakes.
[deleted]
Watch the replay that shows a blatant hack. It’s a valid reaction.
I mean yes but oh well
Lol bro screams and complains to the official after a clean block. 😂
He was complaining about #23 slapping his arm before the block. The block itself was clean.
I stand corrected
Raptors announcers are so annoying, clear foul..
Can’t even pronounce his name right, garbage announcers
You just sad you lost so get your garbage team outta here but all the respect to dame
All the respect to dame, and half our team is injured, we almost came back, your team sucks
Every team has injuries man it’s ok you guys might be back some day but that day is not today. I can’t ever respect your team just for the fact you have Dani on your team. That’s embarrassing. If the raps had him I couldn’t support raps but we are better than that.
All ball brotha sorry
Before the block
Most annoying announcers in the league, get their garbage voices out of here
GET THAT GARBAGE OUTTA HERE BUDDY
Take the L and move on buddy
Get the meth city outta here
Rip city! —it’s fent, meth is so 2010…garbage boys
