[Highlight] Scottie Barnes continues his Defensive Player of the Year campaign with a clean midair block on the reigning MVP Shai
Honestly might be the tightest coverage on Shai I’ve ever seen man. Raps are doing an amazing job
As soon as he picked up the 4th Shai was able to get into a groove, so frustrating to have a lack of defensive personnel.
I swear he physically can’t have a bad game

stick to ufc champ
Shai is super patient. That’s what I respect the most about him. He can tell when the coverage is too much and he simply refuses to take bad shots.
Lots of top scorers would keep shooting cause that’s just why they know to do. But if Shai is feeling like the other team is taking his options away, he’s perfectly happy to sacrifice volume for better looks for others. Steph is like that too but with 3s.
Scottie Barnes is a solid basketball name.
Guy can block from any angle lmao get good. Thats my DPOY
Scottie DPOY played the final 6 minutes with 5 fouls too, and got multiple clutch blocks and rebounds 💪.
Scottie 4 stocks, 11 boards, +15. Chet 0 stocks, 10 boards, -9.
BTA
He just iced the game with a huge block on Chet, then an offensive rebound as the dagger. Man is working on that DPOY award.
all the casuals outing themselves in this thread lmao
LET’S GO SCOTTIEEEE
The haters are casual af
There’s a decent chance Wemby doesn’t make the 65 game cut to qualify, for those questioning
damn never seen a highlight get downvoted so quickly lol
SCT BRN
A midair block? About as rare as a midair dunk I’d imagine.
DPOY Scottie Barnes??
THUNDER FLOPPERS.
The voters are going to see this!
Crazy my boy bam doesn’t have a dpoy with The shit they give them away for lol
His best shots were the years Smart and JJJ won.
This is a jerk post
The what campaign?
Scottie been a menace defensively this year, Raps have a top 6 defence with their best defenders being Scottie, CMB & JaKobe Walter.
Scottie & CMB are sharing minutes guarding 5s because Poeltl has missed almost 30 games this season.
He’s not winning the award but he should be in consideration for it.
He’s the only player in the top 5 for defensive win shares that isn’t an OKC player too.
I haven’t watched any non-sixer games this season so my reaction was more of a surprise than a snark, but I did mean some snark because… raptors. That being said, good for him.
He’s been top 5 in DPOY odds pretty much all season
He’s got pretty high odds if you’re betting that Wemby will miss 4 games which is super likely
If Rudy can get DPOY discussions while making Randle defend Wemby and Jokic one on one, Scottie can get some DPOY love too.
while making Randle defend Wemby and Jokic one on one
This concept is called being a defensive anchor for the team.
Not dpoy material lmao I’m sure you have a future on it though
I don’t gamble
Anyone gets their name in the hat if they block a Thunder Flopper.
