Only 3 games where all of Ayton Clingan Timelord have been active.... Happy to watch the last two but don't want to watch the first.

Also been a few games since we saw the Ayton Ant Grant trio share the floor. I think the last couple we got run off the floor by 40+ pts. Can't wait until one of these guys are traded.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sean Highkin: For tomorrow: Deandre Ayton is listed as questionable with an illness and Dalano Banton is questionable with a hip contusion. (DA has been back at practice and talked to us today and seemed fine so I don’t know what’s going on there, but it’s what’s on the report.)

 

[jlprk]

If starting guards Murray and Braun are injured, Westbrook and Strawther just might be better. Strawther is an up-and-coming star shooter.

 

[Cugel]

Jokic records first ever 60-30-30

 

[TheGoldRanger]

Let’s see what Clingan can do.

 

[Chris Craig]

Jokic records first ever 60-30-30

Might be the second player to record 100

 

[KingSpeed]

Game time.

 

[B-Roy]

Scoot….rough isn’t even the half of it

 

[Chris Craig]

Scoot came in and the game went to shit.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Scoot….rough isn’t even the half of it

I worried he doesn't have the inner self-confidence to overcome this shooting slump.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Holy shit, Scoot! Wtf

 

[Cugel]

He just can’t shoot anything. Dunno why not. Needs a new approach from the ground up. His FT isn’t bad but the rest is garbage.

 

[B-Roy]

Scoot looks unsure of everything he’s doing, offensively and defensively.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Scoot's shot selection is absolutely asinine. His best self is putting pressure on the defense and getting inside.

 

[illmatic99]

Lefty.....

 

[B-Roy]

Lefty.....

Second time ever

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Nice left, Scoot. Didn't know he had that.

 

[illmatic99]

The footwork on scoots threes is just all over the place. No consistency whatsoever.

 

[B-Roy]

Deni has been our best player for the last 10 games or so

 

[AldoTrapani]

Scoot one of the biggest busts in the last 25 years

 

[AldoTrapani]

Omg scoot Henderson is not even 2nd round worthy

 

[B-Roy]

Deandre Ayton can be punted into the sun for all I care. Why is he even playing 17 minutes in a half when two better centers are available.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Who hurts us more? Scoot or Ayton? We would be up by 20 if those two never saw the court.

Scoot

 

[Cugel]

Scoot only has one T/O. not bad. Just the shooting. has to get it to 40% from the field. Has to. Good shooting overall tonight though. Deni with a strong showing as usual.

Ayton is 11/9 with 3 blocks and 1 steal in 17 min. That aint bad. 5 of 6 shooting. I can live with that. Yeah I get the negatives but those numbers you can work with.

I would guess 6 assists in a half is a record for Ant.

 

[KingSpeed]

Christian & Scooby are great.

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot

Scoot not being allowed to run the team. Get Ant off the Blazers and Scoot will blossom. Ayton needs to go since Cling and RW need to play. Scoot is a +1. Ayton is -11.

 

[julius]

Shaedon looks small next to Murray. I always thought Murray was kinda small, he's deceptively big.
