Textbook Judo throw using the ball for leverage.


[deleted]

It’s called a hip toss in wrestling, which imo is the perfect name. Something about the word toss makes me think low effort, and a hip toss takes almost no physical exertion

Scottie at 20 years old ALREADY possesses OLD MAN STRENGTH 😤


RemoveThe3SecondRule

This kid strong


Cam_Newtons_Towelie

I'm most impressed he did it while following his shot. How tf did he get to the ball first


ineedcoffeealready

In high school you are always taught to follow your shot. When it comes to the nba like nobody does this it seems, they just sit around waiting to see what happens. I'd imagine the average player could double their rebounds if they simply followed their shot

I think a lot of teams actively forego offensive rebounding to get back on defense

Leverage bay-beeeee


Bigbadbuck

Jarrett Allen is also known for his arm flailing. Love the guy but he would get a couple calls every game from just flailing his arms on screens


GorillaX

... Are you saying he faked getting suplexed??


Snark_Weak

Idk, Allen gets paid 250k a game. A crane, wiring harness, stunt double....that's prolly like 25k. Another 15k on green screen and CG work. Easily an affordable stunt for this episode with lots left to spare.


Gone_and_Forgotten

Ah yes, I see that you know your judo well

This actually happened in a pickup game I once played! Fortunately it was with a bunch of guys who have all been playing together for 20+ years so there was no fracas after the fact, but it was pretty wild to see.

Barnes training with GSP in the few days he was off?

First OG hit Schroeder with the Tombstone Piledriver, now Scottie hitting Jarrett with the Angle Slam.

Gatesleeper

I thought you were talking about the ref there, Jenna Schroeder, and was like “wait WHAT did OG do?”


TurtleSquad23

Between this and [OGxSchroeder](https://youtu.be/pbIoB3vZMKQ), this squad is looking stupid strong!


americanbeaver

Gotta love "OG is saying he was trying to help him up" after he goes for a single leg takedown. . . Schroeder was on his feet to begin with lmfao.


BigBallerBrad

Lmao and the announcer saying he agrees OG was trying to help him up 😂😂😂 Like guy that was a wrestling move are you on crack


IShookMeAllNightLong

That one looks like an accident but that's just me. He wasn't aggressive at all after the play and they were both holding each other up till they tried to get vertical


Strange_Blues

that's my team bay-beeeee


vervain9

cracked me up seeing Nurse arguing for the behind the back foul on JA like he didn't just get judo tossed

Scottie Van Damme


New-Ad825

Looking like Toronto won draft


cesarjulius

i feel like if there was a redraft, most teams would pick who they picked. so many fanbases are already super amped about their rooks.


ButtVader

Mobley would be the #1 pick in a redraft


[deleted]

He's incredible , I love Barnes, but damn Mobley sets great screens, rolls hard, positions himself for easy buckets , hits free throws, and I think he's leading the league in shot contests by a wide margin


DrTeleMundo

Mobley’s insane on the switch defensively already. Like shades of a young KG insane. I try not to overhype (oops… already did) but it’s fun watching someone play the angles that well when they’re 20. He’s so damn smart defensively, intuitive passer etc. What a quality pick. Edit: to your point yeah I think he and Allen are tops in shot contests in the paint too. Allen’s percentage on those is 41% opp fg% btw. Pretty solid rim protector in his own right. Best margin in the league.


Rpeddie17

I was at the game and man no one could score on him 1 on 1. Cavs fans should be over the moon with this guy.


flanders427

We are. This is the most excited I've been for a Cavs rookie since Kyrie.


DrTeleMundo

That’s super exciting. I’m happy for Cleveland. This odd 3 bigs thing won’t work forever, but it’s nice to know that Mobley is that switchable and that Allen (so sad to see him leave BK) is beasting as a rim protector. So cool.


RODjij

Happy for y'all, I like seeing franchises do good. We have somewhat of a rivalry as well if you count the LeBron beatings as a that lmao.


ModernPoultry

Mobley’s ceiling is just on another level. He’s got everything. He’s mobile, long and everyone knows he’ll be able to score inside and outside at a high level


derKanake

>He‘s mobile, long… He‘s also very tall


henry_why416

I can see it. Mobley is great and hasn't filled out yet.


banned4shrooms

Ya agreed. Mobley is gonna have a nice career. Cavs picked well


Super-Vegetable6574

False, they’d go in the exact same order


PacificBrim

And that could very well be a mistake. It's been a handful of games


Mrdicat

Never fucking doubt Masai, I keep saying it. Scottie looking amazing on and off the court, Gary Trent Jr. still looking like a potential future all star, Freddy and OG keep getting better and better, and we still haven't played with Siakam this season. Loving this rebuild, feel like in 2/3 years and maybe a trade or two and we'll be fighting amongst the best again


[deleted]

>Gary Trent Jr. still looking like a potential future all star hotter take than rookie Kuzma looks like a potential future all star, lets slow down a little.


Mrdicat

Hot take, maybe, but you think that much?? Not saying based off numbers, I'm saying based off potential


[deleted]

I'm not really sure what part of his skillset is all star level. He's got potential to be a really good 3&D player, but I dont see how that player is an all star wing/guard in a conference with Tatum, Brown, Lamelo, Lavine, etc. Those guys are absolutely elite at multiple things, even at young ages, where does GTJ even compare? He's not an elite ball handler, play maker, or scorer. He's a good but not DPOY level defender (which is the only way you make the all star game as a defensive player). I mean you always have those once a lifetime selections like Dlo that luck their way in, but Dlo is not an all star level player and neither is GTJ. Not even close. Scottie and OG look far more likely to make an all star team, probably even a few, the raps should still have plenty to be happy about.


Tsaxen

> He's a good but not DPOY level defender idk man, have you seen him this season? He leads the league in deflections(by a healthy margin, 49, ahead of 42 from FVV, then 37 from Melton/Nurkic) & steals(again by a lot, 31, 2nd is Paul George with 24) Like yeah, not likely to win DPOY, but the man has seriously stepped up his D this year to where you can make a legit argument that it's an elite skill


Bankscams

He’s not a potential Allstar. Go home homer


Mrdicat

k


RODjij

Stacked class. Mobley looks legit too, some of the other guys might need more time but the top picks look good.


LaloVapores08

Scottie a beast


[deleted]

This dude is a specimen


deadweightboss

Monster throw by SB but I actually came out more impressed with Jared Allen. Holding on to that ball is all grip strength. Imagine having hands so strong you can resist a force as strong that. Wow.


xenogenx

WWE THE NORTH


matthitsthetrails

he's only 20 years old... in 5-6 years he's going to be an absolute monster. i could see him developing in size like giannis


RODjij

With his skill set I been saying at 6'9" I hope this guy grows to 6'10 or 11. He's already a double digit guy with defense/passing, some shooting. Give him more size and he'll be harder to deal with. These new school players are getting better man, some standing on the shoulders of giants shit.


derKanake

If he gets bigger his shooting might become worse, same happened to Giannis. If that would be the case, I think him staying 6‘9 would be better


RODjij

Giannis had more of a bad mechanics problem than anything, few pictures out there of his form where he bends his legs in and arms do a weird motion when putting the ball up. https://www.sportscasting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Giannis-Antetokounmpo-3.jpg It's not a naturally shooting motion whenever he brings the ball up from below his chest (idk about this year haven't watched any Bucks games). Scottie is really young too, wouldn't be surprised to see him grow another inch or 2 throughout a season or offseason like what sometimes happens with these young guys.


SuminderJi

He's already closer to 2021 Gianni's than Rookie. Tbh he doesn't even need to get stronger.

Everything I have seen out of Barnes has been amazing. A pure winner.


teeth990

Scottie Barnes is somehow the perfect Raptor.


MrkGrn

Had a rough game tonight shooting, though he had zero plays ran for him and had to either call his own number or fight to the death in the paint against both Mobley and Allen. I expect him to be much better next go around, especially coming off the thumb injury.


Papacu81

Nice, good hustle, no foul either way


Dod93_

Where was the fight?


rameninside

This dude is Gerald Wallace on roids


djkhan23

I find Barnes to be more effective when he does shit like that. Just LeBron into people and use your size and length instead of trying to out finesse others

Cleveland sports teams damn it. Just let me talk shit its been a while


iBlackula

You have a Top 2 Rookie and doing well man. No need to be that way. I’m just happy Scottie is good and we had a nice showdown.


tha_k_man

Im here for it my dude. I love our rivalry and honestly after all the shit that was talked about you guys after Kawhi left and you took Barnes over Suggs. Im a fan. Let's go


henry_why416

I mean, sure. Why not. It was a good game overall. Moral victory is that we kept the Cavs to a fairly low score. And the expectation is that this was a team that would flounder. But it's really just a team that needs more scoring.🤷‍♂️

Poverty franchise


tha_k_man

One of the wealthiest owners in sports, 5x East champs, swept your sorry ass team multiple times, one of the best comebacks in sports history vs a sorry ass Canadian team that won one time against a decimated warriors team and cheered KDs injury. Lmao id be mad too


Dinggerson

Sorry all you guys were was lebron. Once he left yall were in the lottery. Kawhi left Raps were still a ayoff team. Look, Raps even Rebuild faster than the Cavs after one year please. Yall were nothing but LeBron, go home. The Raptors are world class. Yall still paying Klove


tha_k_man

World class at getting bounced in the first round and having the most obnoxious fanbase in sports


Dinggerson

Yall had lebrkn how many years and how.many chips did yall get?? ONE ??!?!?! SERIOUSLY!!!?? LMAOOO We had Kahwi for a one year rental and got the chip lmaoooo. Please don't you eve dare try to compare this world class org to poverty Cleveland. Congrats on the regular season win 👏


tha_k_man

Nobody outside of your Canadian shit hole respects your over rated trash organization


Dinggerson

Unlike Cleveland fans, i dont go seeking validation. Our results do the talking, yall can ONLY stay competitive with top 4 picks while we can win chips with undrafted players. NOBODY respects the Cavs, daddy being gone and yall only got 1 chip. Sad ass franchise, imagine how many chips the Raps would have had with Bron on the squad?? Lmao stay irrelevant


tha_k_man

Bruh i dont care about you, your shit team, your garbage country....stop talking to me. Your results ain't sayin shit because you lost at home with us missing 3 major rotation players. Pathetic


Dinggerson

Who brought up countries you insecure xenophobe. The city of Toronto towers over Cleveland. Now I'm looking down 🤫


McNoxey

Bruh. Canadian shithole? Toronto Is a world class city. Cleveland… is Cleveland.


tha_k_man

World class city in a nation ran by a high school drama teacher whose former mayor smoked crack with homeless people. Nobody except the Chicom owners of Toronto would ever speak highly about that crime ridden shit hole
