what the chuck is going on ??
like 5 straight missed Blazer jumpers

 

[Labinot41]

I give up on Scoot. Horrible pick

 

[beast blazer]

How does Camara get 17 shots, and Scoot 14 shots, to Sharpes 13.

 

[B-Roy]

Scoot has setup 3 consecutive wide open 3's. Blazers unable to make any of them.

with who was shooting them, I think the Mavs are quite happy

 

[Chris Craig]

He's hurting us

Camara is 2/9 on WIDE open shots. If he could be 35% on threes it would be huge.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Scoot is throwing great passes but guys aren't hitting.

 

[beast blazer]

Camara is 2/9 on WIDE open shots. If he could be 35% on threes it would be huge.

That's why I've been saying, he can't be penciled in as along term starter. He's a terrible shooter(but that doesn't stop him from trying)

 

[MickZagger]

I’ve seen toumani bricks from Camara

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I'm thinking he'll get better. He's so good defensively that you can't give up on him. He's a rookie.

 

[Cugel]

Toumani is taking toumani shots. He shouldn't be taking more shots than Shaedon.

 

[Natebishop3]

Thybulle was wide open Simons. Pass the fucking ball.

 

[Whyachi]

How does Camara get 17 shots, and Scoot 14 shots, to Sharpes 13.

Mavs aren't guarding him, he's ultra wide open. Add in about 5-6 scrapper glass cleanups

 

[beast blazer]

I think other teams strategy is to just like Scoot and Camara shoot.

 

[Natebishop3]

Toumani is taking toumani shots. He shouldn't be taking more shots than Shaedon.

Especially when he's shooting 6 for fucking 19.

 

[Whyachi]

Look... Chauncey left a Center in the game and we got to watch a Blazer dunk shot

 

[B-Roy]

Thybulle was wide open Simons. Pass the fucking ball.

Ant has a Dame like stat line and people are still yelling at him lol

 

[Tince]

Agreed. I think Ant is the only available Blazer that scares teams from deep, with Sharpe being 2nd, and nobody else a real concern.

Makes spacing pretty rough

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Great pass Ant.

 

[beast blazer]

We'd probably be winning now if Grant and Ayton were playing.

 

[Strenuus]

I give up on Scoot. Horrible pick

Lol. Always so quick to give up. That's so sad.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm sorry but it's pathetic how quickly you people give up on a 19 year old rookie point guard. I get it, we had Dame for like 11 years and Dame is a top 75 player, but it's like you forgot what it's like to have a rookie point guard. He's not as ready as we thought he'd be. It is what it is. We have other guards to play right now. We have time to work on him. The Thompson twins are projects too and they're older.

 

[julius]

He's hurting us

On the plus side, he's not the only one hurting them.

He just doesn't know what to do, and with him shooting like @THE HCP, it doesn't help. He makes decent passes, but it's not necessarily his fault the players aren't good three point shooters.

Barring an injury, there's no real reason to have him start at all this season.

He's at least had a few good games, but he's had some shots that look like he's never shot past 8 feet.

But I'm not giving up on him.

Realistically, he should've been the backup from the get-go.

 

[Whyachi]

Curry airballed the lights out triple. He's definately not his brother.

 

[Tince]

We'd probably be winning now if Grant and Ayton were playing.

And Brogdon, who seems to impact winning as much as anyone.

 

[Natebishop3]

Sorry, I like people who pass the ball when someone is wide open and is shooting a really good percentage for catch and shoot.

 

[B-Roy]

Ant has 30/8. You know Dame also looked off players right? It’s part of the perks of being the number one option.

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah and that's fine. People forget how lost Sharpe looked at this time last year. He could do lobs and dunks and he was shooting okay but he had no idea how to play within the defense or offense.

Agreed, it's silly.
