[KingSpeed]

I wish Duop was a better rebounder

 

[Duckhook]

Ant amd 4 rookies are staying with the Nuggets right now

 

[Everything Beagle]

I wish Duop was a better rebounder

He's one of those players that, if he were like 10% better at everything, he'd be a superstar... all the tools but they're knockoff brands.

 

[illmatic99]

Awful attempt by Ant. Passing quick off the doubles is working, and he's even getting the ball back on rotations. No need for that shot.

And he fails to close out.

 

[Cugel]

The last time a checked Duop is a rookie.

 

[Whyachi]

Jamal Murray playing like Fred Van Fleet on a bad night, and Portland is still losing by 10.

like Eubanks

The last time a checked Duop is a rookie.

Is he 19 though?

 

[Everything Beagle]

The last time a checked Duop is a rookie.

I'm definitely happy to give him a few years to grow. Maybe he'll hit his stride by 31.

 

[illmatic99]

like Eubanks

Eubanks sucked.

 

[B-Roy]

Scoot looks like a star today

 

[illmatic99]

Aytons screening is shockingly bad. Knew it was but holy hell. He creates 0 separation.

We desperately need a big man coach

 

[Whyachi]

Nuggets blocking Blazers push shots.
They're very tall, it's not fair.

 

[illmatic99]

We desperately need a big man coach

Im sure PHX tried what they could to help him improve. Doubt any other coaxh would help

 

[KingSpeed]

There we go. Keep going to Scoot. They can't guard him.

 

[kjironman1]

We desperately need a big man coach

Yep.

 

[illmatic99]

Scoot looks like a star today

Drawing FTs has to be a staple of his offensive attack.

 

[KingSpeed]

27 points

 

[Everything Beagle]

I mean if he ceilings out at LaMarcus he will be frustrating but still an essential piece to a good team.

 

[KingSpeed]

Geez Ant

 

[illmatic99]

Feel free to pass dude.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Drawing FTs has to be a staple of his offensive attack.

He has the body. I fully expect it.

 

[Whyachi]

nice oop to Camara

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Even with his unbelievable made shots, watching Ant pound the air out of the ball while 4 others wait around is not my idea of good basketball. I thought the past couple games he looked much better at managing the ball... And then tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot got 30

 

[illmatic99]

We have our PG guarding Jokic in the middle.

By choice.

 

[illmatic99]

Beautiful release on that jumper

 

[Everything Beagle]

Simons and Scoot combining for nearly 60 is a nice thing to see

 

[Tince]

This game was far more competitive than I anticipated. Great to see Scoot play well!
