scoot just needs to stop shooting and focus on assisting, hopefully without turnovers and then he would have a superb game

dont fuck it up by shooting & missing

I agree. If he only does good things and stops doing bad things, he could be amazing.

 

[Mr. Robot]

who the fuck do you want shooting now? even ayton is now gone.

who cares, were not playing to win

and just like that, he takes idiotic three and ball barely touches the rim

he's open. and he's 6/6 from 3. shoot the ball.

simple as it gets

he reminds me of westbrook, playing in the fifth gear all the time, which ends up in bad shots (doesnt set himself up well) and turnovers

i wish we had a dislike button for posts like this.

you have no idea how confidence is built. i dont want my future building block shying away from the moment cuz he's scared of missing.

 

[Whyachi]

original gangster Jeff Green power jam. Coach Billups doesn't like it, calls timeout

 

[illmatic99]

also, let's not dismiss the ayton/walker "injuries" discovered after the Spurs win...

you dont get it

he was 10/20 (30 pts) with 6 assists and only 1 turnover and that wouldve been a superb game

now hes 10/23 and will likely miss more shots, therefore, the overall look wont be as good as it couldve been

hes been chucking a whole lot lately and i dont mind it, but in one game where he shouldnt, he still does it

Who do you want him to pass to? You're worried that he's going to shoot this much when everyone is healthy?

 

[Whyachi]

R3eeeeath!

Who cares how it "looks." He's competing to win a game. He'd been superb.

Holiday "ball don't lie" after getting a T

ohhh but he might miss the next shot. he should just fake an injury and sit out

 

[Whyachi]

Jalen Green shook off the scary fall. He's a tough dude

 

[Whyachi]

Blazer fans went mute. Rockets up 15. Some folks leaving early.

 

[Mr. Robot]

scoot busterson with a fluke game

it can happen to everyone, malachi flynn had a 50 point game on a great efficiency

 

[B-Roy]

Steph turned his ankle a bit

 

[Whyachi]

Coach Udoka doesn't trust the refs, challenges outta bounds call

 

[Whyachi]

Udoka wins challenge

refs u suck

Spurs pulled out a miracle to win one against Denver and tie us in the win column. We better not win this game lol.

What's funny is that I predicted a Spurs win thinking the Nuggets wouldn't play their top guys.

thats not a poster, but they sure want it to be

 

[Whyachi]

Jock Landale tapped into some vintage Kevin McHale mojo. 20/4/3 on 60% shooting. I have absolutely no explanation for this anomoly.

 

[TYDame]

Can’t watch any Blazers game. How’s Scoot so far?

Henderson played terrific. Unfortunately he got a hip pointer and missed the 4th qtr

How to say you're a hater without saying you're a hater.

 

[wizenheimer]

didn't see the game...looking at box score it appears Scoot played well and Banton had no shame about chucking

Ayton and Walker with limited minutes...what was that about?

Spurs and Blazers tied for 4th. Blazers final is a road game against the Kings who will be very motivated to win. Spurs last game a home game against the lowly Pistons. Blazers seem like close to a lock for 4th. Probably won't matter because of San Antonio's stinking lottery luck
