how I missed game threads being filled with irrational Barton haters hyper-focused on his flaws while ignoring all the good he does on the court. welcome back gentlemen. Thanks. Good to be back. As one of the biggest Barton "hater/doubter" around here i am the first one to be happy and excited that he is going to play tonight or in game 3. We are in desperate need of quality depth at guard position. But at this point i also see him more of a end to MH experiment and 15-20 minutes of the bench guy than a replacement for Rivers. Also, i need to see Barton actually show up in a playoff game and be a plus player on both ends of the floor before going all "Super hype" mode like you and Ring. If you judge life by needs rather than wants, you might as well live in a cave

We're literally talking about a guy who can play in the PnR vs a bunch of guards who can't play in the PnR. That's where the discussion starts and ends for me.
Like I said...I'm literally going to cheer the first time Barton breaks down his defender and misses a shot at the rim. It'll be nice to see someone actually attack the basket from the guard spot in a Nuggets uniform more than once every 3 games.

Markus Howard has a PER of 8 and is easily the worst defender on our team, it'd be something for Barton to provide worse than that. He can basically only be a positive.

We are desperate so Barton sound really good right about now.
Only PO thing Barton has to show for is the s**t fest he gave us 2 years ago. He was such a garbage early against Spurs that he got demoted to the bench. Didn't get any better vs Blazers especially last 2 games. Pure garbage.
I hope he does better tonight. Bars are low.

This is a guy who constantly shits on a guy who played hurt in a playoff series but jerks off to Facu Campazzo after he has a good shooting night and finishes -14. I also want to point out that since Alchemist wasn't a Nuggets fan back then, Barton has actually had multiple big time shots in a hostile environment in a playoff series. And he did that while playing hurt.

So, the narrative is set. If Barton plays and plays well it will be "Suck it haters, Barton is GOAT" and if he plays bad it will be "It's obvious that he is hurt and coming of an injury" right? Bravo.
Barton was not only cleared to play 2 years ago but he was a starter as well and he was god awful on both ends of the floor.
If Malone use Barton to reduce Facu minutes and demote MH to DNP (translated 15-20 off the bench) i think that Barton can be positive and bring more good than bad in those minutes. Barton is a better player than Cameron Payne and he can offset what Payne does on both ends of the floor.
Anyone who is not happy for Barton coming back is not a Nuggets fan imo. But at the same time, everyone who wants Barton to start and play big minutes while guarding Booker is also not a real Nuggets fan, more like Barton fan (Like some Facu stans here)

Jamal did on the bubble.

Barton is needed & it's a shame he won't be full health, but some here overrate the dude.

I just don't think people are accepting that Bartons ability to play in the PnR and get into the rim is one of the most important aspects of basketball. If you can't break down a defense from the perimeter, how do you generate open shots in the half court?

For sure, they need him but even a healthy Barton wouldn't be a cure all for the team's short comings.

Rough start for MPJ. I don't recall him ever really missing that short on a jumper.
