Game Thread 2023-24 Game #29 - BLAZERS VS KINGS - DECEMBER 26, 2023 - TUESDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

[Sheldon Shape]

It's the Scoot Henderson show. He democratizes the ball and makes everyone better. It's such a better brand of basketball.

 

[Tince]

Regardless of the future outcome, that was a fun stretch!

 

[BlazerBeav]

What a horrific end by Ant. Just threw away our momentum

 

[Whyachi]

dammit Fox, messing up the Blazers big fat lead

 

[blazerkor]

Well we had a helluva second quarter going but you have to think the Kings are pretty happy going into half time only down by 7.

 

[illmatic99]

Not entirely his fault but this momentum went to shit when Grant came in for Matisse.

 

[Chris Craig]

Got cocky

 

[TBpup]

Ant was hot, but then went no-pass offense twice in the last couple of minutes which came up empty while teammates just stood around. That is not how they got their lead. They got it by moving the ball and players and by attacking the basket and then getting open shots. Kings go on a huge run to close the half. Still up 7, but it should be a lot more.

 

[PCmor7]

Yeesh. Ant was a one-man wrecking crew the last 2 minutes.

 

[illmatic99]

More positive performances from Scoot.

If he played like this to start the season, we'd all have been jumping.

Judging by the current posts, I think he's having some problems overcoming the first impression he made.

Why did Billups take Scoot out before the end of the half?

jumping where

im on the 3rd floor, so not really recommendable to jump

Why did Billups take Scoot out before the end of the half?

Because he was starting to be detrimental. Can only have him in so long.

That crappy hook shot he took after he faked Fox out of his shoe was reason enough to sit him down.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Ant played his best staying off ball. Credit Chauncey for making that change when Scoot is in the game. Now people are seeing the difference and how it doesn't really work when Ant is managing the ball. He's better when he's making quick decisions rather than pounding the ball.

id send him to prison for that one and im not overreacting

 

[Whyachi]

Huerter playing like Scalabrini on a bad day

 

[Tince]

Why did Billups take Scoot out before the end of the half?

Are we really at the point where we're questioning why a guy who played 18 straight minutes got taken out?

 

[TBpup]

Sabonis salivates when Brown is on him down low.

 

[Tince]

Lets get Sabonis is foul trouble. Might be our best defense for him.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Keegan Murray is so meh.

 

[Tince]

Keegan now out-scoring Kris by 3pts

 

[B-Roy]

Sabonis salivates when Brown is on him down low.

Phrasing lol

 

[illmatic99]

Put scoot in

 

[Tince]

 

[Whyachi]

nice swish Reath !!

 

[Tince]

Ant and now Scoot have taken a defensive rebound off the face this quarter. Tough breaks!

 

[Tince]

That double-pump finish by Scoot was high difficulty!

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot looks great tonight.
