I prefer to see Wooten play than Ellington please!!!! Bring up another big!

?43 points over the Clipper/Laker games for Barrett. What he did last night was often overshadowed by how he did it. On one sequence RJ had the ball in the restricted area and was defended by the much bigger Javale McGee. The 19-year-old busted out the footwork and fakes until he lost McGee and scored over him. On a one-on-one break against Davis, Barrett took it to him, contorting his body to shield the ball and finish over him. Late in the game, Howard stopped Barrett cold, after which RJ came right back at him, got dropped but drew the foul. On the Knicks? next possession, he took it at Howard again and hit a step-back over him. That?s right, rook!?
 
You in the same boat as Mills/Perry. Trying to justify a mistake. Is the team better for that #3pick? Answer- No!! Frank, Dotson and Knox didn't get green lighted and a starting job. Why did this sorry 'NO shooting' 'NO Defending' joker get out on the floor. Let talk about what he has earned. Ok, let hear it!! There isn't anything because he was given everything on a silver platter by Mills/Perry/Fiz/Miller.
If anyone wants to backup or justify RJ existence on this team DO SO!! Just be able to back it up.
We get beat by 30pt. and you got nerve enough to talk about the wonderful game a mistake had in a defeat. SERIOUSLY!!
 
BTW, just looked at the stat and RJ didn't have a single assist. WHY??
Because they have have blown smoke up his butt and told him how great he is and you don't have to pass the ball. You don't have to make those around you better. Just think about yourself and try to make us look like we made a great choice in you. BRILLIANT!!!

Fizdale spoke about RJ:

"I really think he was built for New York City," he said.

"He is not easily rattled," Fizdale added. "His work ethic is second to none."

RJ had a beautiful feed on the play AD got hurt.... set up teammate wonderfully for the easy bucket. RJ can pass... saw it plenty at Duke.

He needs to trust more... pass more... but this will come. Should he kick out to Dotson for a wide open 3, only to watch the 30% 3-shooter brick it?

C'mon all those brick RJ been shooting and you talking about a pass he didn't make.
The team meeting was about who &what? Who hogging the ball? Who not passing the ball? Do you want me to continue??

Don?t feed the troll


Amen.

Dotson is 25, in his third season, and his season shooting splits are barely above RJ?s from 2 and 3 point range... we?re talking mere pct points higher... yet RJ throws bricks and DD a future all-star to some.


RJ is 6 years younger and already is a superior player. No reply necessary.
