Hoping Scoot plays. Got back early this morning from Vegas and a bit disappointed I didn't get to see him play. Was really fun seeing Sharpe and the other guys play well though.

I’m going to this one. I should get to my hotel about 2 pm.

They haven't ruled him out yet.

 

[Natebishop3]

It looks like they ruled him out the night before both the San Antonio game and the Charlotte game, so the fact that we haven't heard anything yet could be a good sign that he'll play tomorrow.

Good luck, its a super fun experience. Especially if you have some time to hang out at the arenas and watch other games, as well as work your way down to better seats. Tuesday had way less crowds than Sunday and great seats.

We've had every one of our last 9 flights delayed the last few months and I barely made tipoff.... but actually my flight home wasn't delayed - so hopefully that streak is over.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Didn't think there would be four teams go undefeated and that has held true. However, we really needed a better win against the Hornets and did not get it. Looking forward to seeing our team again plus the two Orlando lottery picks.

 

[inconceivable]

Is Sterling playing tonight?

 

[Predator]

 

[inconceivable]

It's Fentress so there's still hope

 

[illmatic99]

Made me wonder why Scoot was wearing full sleeves under his jersey. I think he's more hurt than they're intimating.

MRI came back clean. Just being extra cautious probably. Chet could've played a lot sooner but Thunder kept him out all year. I'm the same way with new shoes

We should be undefeated. Rockets got lucky.

 

[Portland2014]

So i've got to wait till October to see Scoot again

that sucks

I wanna see Scoot v Ant play one on one for the starting spot in training camp.

I'm waiting to hear it elsewhere. Not taking Fentress's word.

 

[Portland2014]

as much as i dislike him there's no way he reports something like that without being sure about it

it's not like he's reporting some speculation about Lillard trade suggested by Lillard's camp or anything, this is a injury update, not too much to speculate about it

what's make me angry is that the team tried to hide it, i'm 99% sure they already knew it but they waited to tell us

 

[Wizard Mentor]

We should be undefeated. Rockets got lucky.

Agreed with the sentiment, but we made MULTIPLE mistakes in the last minute. I only hope that the players learned something.

 

[PCmor7]

The Summer League tank is in.

 

[inconceivable]

Agreed with the sentiment, but we made MULTIPLE mistakes in the last minute. I only hope that the players learned something.

Even the hornets game, we made some dumb moves in the last minute with all those "strategic" fouling. Why send the trailing team to the free throw line and stop the clock intentionally when you're up two possessions?

 

[Natebishop3]

Nobody else is reporting it. I don’t trust Fentress.

 

[riverman]

Since he got a clean MRI ....sounds like he hyperextended it which rest will fix...until it's stable, I wouldn't play him on it for Summer league

 

[Natebishop3]

Has there been any other sources on Scoot? I don't trust Fentress at all.

 

[maxiep]

This "will he/won't he" is all NBA marketing BS. They want to sell more tickets. Scoot sells tickets.

The Blazers have seen what they needed to see from Scoot. They're not going to risk further injury to his shoulder.

The minute he hurt it, he was done for Summer League.

I don't know if I agree.... I think Scoot and Shae need time together to build chemistry.

There is nothing on the Blazers feed

I don't even like him. I don't care what he says anymore.

 

[Natebishop3]

God it would be hilarious if Scoot played and made Fentress look like a moron.

Oh, they got time. Like 10 years together hopefully, like Pippen and Jordan.

Crap! I got to see him in one part of one game in at least.
