    Hearing Alaa Abelnaby doing color for the Sixers telecast, I keep feeling like the dad from "The Wonder Years" is calling the game.

    Scoot also HAS NO REBOUNDS IN THE GAME, but sure he's leading the assists!

    It’s not the only thing that matters. And they shot great from 2 point range. Fuck anyone who thinks Scoot has to prove himself to us with an arbitrary 5-6 game streak.

    So you think rebounding is more important than assists for a PG? You’re digging a hole for yourself.

    Uh, if he can’t consistently produce, you can’t build/depend on him.

    I’m thrilled when he has a good/great game but I don’t expect it; he hasn’t shown a reason to have that kind of expectation.

    Think Nic Batum vs Dame. Nic had occasional great games but you expected more from Dame because he consistently produced.

    Yes, he does need to consistently produce to be anything other than a role player who sometimes goes off.

    I'm making fun of how you cherry pick stats to prove your point instead of just going "yeah, he didn't really have a good game tonight".

    It's as if you think admitting a player didn't have a good game will get you in trouble.

    Yeah. If he's good 2 out of every 10 games, that's enough. Apparently.

    Dude led the entire game with 7 assists and:

    *checks notes*

    6 points. In 24 minutes. On 2/7 shooting.

    He's not the reason we lost, but damn he didn't really help either.

    No one helped. Lol. Well except advija

    I wonder how many times over the next 2 years people will transpose the v and the d in Avdija. Over/under at 774?

    13 Blazers played, and 9 of them only had 1 rebound, or less. If rebounding is about effort.....yikes!

    I wonder when the last time was a Blazer had 10 turnovers?

    Avdija with 10 TO’s. Don’t believe I’ve seen that before.

    Well, and this is just a pure guess, but I think it has something to do with he being a WABC?

    Alaa Abelany. Said one of the great lines in history. Asked about Duke’s academic requirements, he said “The only way I can make 5 A’s at Duke is to spell my name”

    I think Shae had a 10-turnover game last season when he was forced to play PG early in the year.

    I only watched the first half, but a bunch of his early turnovers were trying to force passes in to Ayton.
