Harrison Barnes 22 Points Full Highlights (11/11/2014)
Harrison Barnes waited, hidden, in the rhododendron bushes outside the Iguodala household. Andre always went out to get the newspaper at 7:13 Pacific Standard Time. Barnes’ persistent reconnaissance had told him this much. All there was to do now was wait. Just as expected, at 7:13, Andre Iguodala opened his front door, whistling. He sauntered…

Harrison “Born In A” Barnes: is he the X-factor for the Warriors in the playoffs? As their sixth man, he definitely meets the qualifications for being an X-factor candidate. I’ll just say, if he can up his scoring output, he will be the X-factor, but if he doesn’t score very well, he’ll just be a…

The bad: his statline was otherwise completely empty – except for a lone steal which came with less than second left in the first half. No rebounds. No assists. No…

If you know me, then you know I like to accuse people of being busts. Pretty much everybody is a bust in my eyes. But Warriors fans will be glad to note that I do not think Harrison Barnes is a bust. A bust would never shoot five-of-six from the triple zone. Here’s my list…
