THAT is Scoot Henderson.

 

[Mr. Robot]

scoot when he misses 3-pointer

 

[B-Roy]

Scoot just strung together like 4 assists.

 

[Idog1976]

Damn missed the start of the half! Glad to see Scoot is doing well!

 

[FlashWad]

Scoot finally showing he belongs!

 

[beast blazer]

Scoot is 1-19 from 3 this year.

 

[Paine Tablet]

Scoot is 1-19 from 3 this year.

I am new to basketball. Is that good?

 

[n0cturne]

Yea he's gonna be okay, time for me to step away from the ledge. He's just sooo raw and needs to settle in at this level. Even that dish to Grant was a bullet from like 3ft away lol.

 

[KingSpeed]

Maybe Scoot should stop shooting 3s for now. Play like an old school PG.

They’re leaving him sooooo open though. Old school PGs hit those. He’s having a good game tonight though.

 

[blazerfan11]

Scoot is 1-19 from 3 this year.

That’s not even his game, so I don’t know why Billups is making him take them.

Scoot’s game is to penetrate and dish or score, or sometimes hit the mid-range shot.

 

[Idog1976]

I predict big games by Sharpe and Ayton, and the first hint of Scoot playing well.

Starting to see the prophecy come to fruition, now Scoot/Shae need to get Ayton the rock more!

 

[wizenheimer]

that stat guy the broadcast has it terrible.

lol..."potential assists"...yeah, that's about as useless a gauge as there is....but let's spend 30 seconds babbling about it then saying Scoot is averaging 5 assists...when he's averaging 3

Scoot is playing better tonight though. Still shooting poorly from the arc

 

[julius]

Damn, Shaedons dad totally is a Canadian.

 

[BonesJones]

Maybe Scoot should stop shooting 3s for now. Play like an old school PG.

The first step is confidence.

The second step is repeatable shooting form.

He needs to work on his shot form. But I like that he's not scared to shoot them. Only way to find a rhythm is to shoot when you're open. He should every time he's open without worrying about his last shot.

 

[blazerfan11]

Ayton isn’t even part of Billups’ offense, let alone an important part.

 

[riverman]

Seems like this is the first game we've had a lead in the second half

 

[Whyachi]

dangit, Raptors hit a 3. I hope that lid goes back on

 

[andalusian]

There are hints of organized offense in this game. It's not much, but it's progress

 

[Idog1976]

Ayton is playing well, they need to get him the ball in the post more!

 

[Cugel]

what a cake job! Regurgitate some factoids to Calabro

They’re leaving him sooooo open though. Old school PGs hit those. He’s having a good game tonight though.

But most of them would only take 1-2 per game.

 

[beast blazer]

We're using Ayton like we used Joel Pryzbilla. I don't get it.

 

[Whyachi]

DeAndre can't miss

 

[B-Roy]

DA is pretty good. He'd be better with someone that could set him up consistently.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ayton just has so much untapped potential. There's got to be a coach that could do for him what Isiah Thomas did for Jermaine O'Neal

 

[Chris Craig]

They are just not calling fouls on the Raptors

 

[Idog1976]

Ayton, Scoot and Sharpe all having nice games. So exciting to see!

 

[andalusian]

I like the energy in this game

 

[FlashWad]

Imagine if ayton was a part of the offense

 

[blazerfan11]

DA is pretty good. He'd be better with someone that could set him up consistently.

He’d be murder with the right offensive mindset.
