[Whyachi]

Moses euro-step Les Schwab play of the night

 

[Whyachi]

some rando Hawk named Windler keeps sticking 3 pointers

 

[PCmor7]

Scoot, couple of 3-pt plays, then misses a layup on a steal and tries to put Moses Brown into the fourth row.

 

[Mr. Robot]

dear god, scoot & layups

as if watching nurk missing them for years wasnt enough...

 

[Labinot41]

why Scoot didn't dunk that? He looked freaking athletic at Ignite, what happened to his athleticism?

Windler's one tool coming out of college is he could shoot 3s.

 

[Labinot41]

where is this Scoot?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I agree with the Atlanta crew that Portland keeps making bad decisions but somehow the game is tied up?

 

[Whyachi]

Duop midrange fadaway. Tie game! Coach Snyder calls timeout, he's happy his team isn't losing.

 

[Whyachi]

Dejounte making it look easy, 15pts

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot in foul trouble after putting Hunter in an armbar.

Pro wrestling might be his sport.

 

[Whyachi]

Blazer rookies playing like Blazers.
Billups calls timeout

Like the entire last game, in the 1st half of today's game Rupert leads the team in +/- (+5) and Banton is last in +/- (-11).

What's the deal with Banton? Big stats, negative effect, at least with the unit he plays with. Last game, he was a minus 25, by far the worst for the team.

Chauncey clearly loves the dude.

Couple of things, IMO. First-he's coming off the bench and playing with the likes of Ashton Hagans and Moses Brown. Second, he's really ball-dominant, and I don't think guys know how to work with him yet ... ball sticks to him and other guys get caught standing around. Third, he's a below-average defender.

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot has 5 turnovers in 14m. I hope Billups yells at Rupert again. Rayan (5/3/4 0 to) needs to get benched.

 

[Hoopguru]

If Scoot puts in the work he’ll be fine. Takes PG’s a couple years, very few explode at 19 as a rook.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Scoot will show flashes of DRose

and then revert back to Mudiay

 

[Whyachi]

bad passing, Hawks fan gets a souvenir, Atlanta up 14

 

[Whyachi]

Banton 20 !! He looks great

 

[Whyachi]

more bad Blazer passing,
Dejounte up to 24

 

[Whyachi]

R3eeeath !!

 

[Whyachi]

single digits, it ain't over. Buckle up for the newest edition of Overly Determined to Dominate

 

[PtldPlatypus]

It is fascinating how consistently it seems Banton outperforms Scoot.

 

[Whyachi]

lucky shot Garrison

 

[Whyachi]

Hagans knuckleball rattles home

 

[Whyachi]

Hawks playing hack-a-Moses

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I wonder if Moses should try the two-handed underhand FT technique?

 

[Whyachi]

Atlanta's halftime trampoline dunking guys look better then the Blazers
