"Be real. I had two good games just now on the road. Don't do me like that," joked Barrett, pointing to his 22-point performance in Toronto's 119-103 victory in New Orleans last Wednesday and his 25 points in a 121-111 loss at Miami on Friday.Barrett missed the first three games of the season after spraining his shoulder in the pre-season. He returned to the lineup Oct. 28 in a 127-125 overtime loss to Denver in Toronto.
Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic has his own theory as to why Barrett's been so reliable north of the border. "On the road, you're going against the other team's crowd and the other team feeling. You just have to bring your own energy and focus."
