Scoot knows he'll always be a bench player under Billups.

 

[B-Roy]

I think he dunked this game.

He tried. It didn’t go in.

 

[blazerkor]

Scoot knows he'll always be a bench player under Billups.

As long as he's healthy, I'd bet Scoot starts two thirds of the games post trade deadline.

 

[KingSpeed]

Are we good now?

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Glad we benched our future franchise players (Scoot and Sharpe), keep those guys on the bench I don’t want them happy playing in Portland.

 

[Cugel]

yeah if Scoot and Shae are the future then why riding the pine? Chauncey is making a run for the playin baby!!

Chauncey apologists, help me understand why Ant and Grant are getting the most minutes?

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot/Sharpe should be playing with Clingan, not Walker.

smart decision bench your future players and ensure you don’t get any of those franchise players in what’s considered one of the strongest drafts in last 10 years. I rarely have meltdowns but this one makes zero sense

 

[blazerfan11]

As soon as Clingan goes out, the Hornets go right for the hoop.

 

[B-Roy]

Clingan had Micic in handcuffs. Bari, Scoot and Shaedon came in and immediately he’s having fun again lmao

 

[KingSpeed]

I see what you’re saying B-Roy…

 

[B-Roy]

Jabari having a nightmare game. Play him the rest of the game please.

 

[B-Roy]

12/21 on free throws is wild

 

[PCmor7]

Shaedon's defense has disappeared completely. I think it must have gone to New Orleans with the whose fault will it be thread.

 

[B-Roy]

4 guards, Deni at center. What could we possibly learn from this Chauncey?

"You're going to be a star in this league." Just not while I'm coaching.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Maybe they've decided that missing free throws is how we're going to tank now...

 

[KingSpeed]

I like that Scoot and Shaedon don’t care about heaving full/halfcourt shots even though it hurts their percentages.

 

[Natebishop3]

Chauncey has completely fucked with Scoot's confidence

Wouldn’t it fuck with you if you had one of your best stretches and suddenly you’re benched for no reason?

 

[blazerfan11]

Why is Banton playing instead of Scoot?

 

[MickZagger]

Advija is our best fast break player in a long time. Since maybe Aminu?

Aminu never had that level of ball control.

 

[Cugel]

I am at a loss for words. Why go for a win? It simply makes no sense. You are beating a totally depleted team, barely. Ball is 10x the player than any blazer.

 

[Natebishop3]

This is the worst case scenario. Winning meaningless games while playing a bunch of veterans.

 

[julius]

Aminu never had ball control.

Needed to correct that.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Aminu never had that level of ball control.

All the grace of a baby deer.

 

[B-Roy]

This is the worst case scenario. Winning meaningless games while playing a bunch of veterans.

Against a team we’re fighting for lottery position with.

 

[Blazinaway]

This is the worst case scenario. Winning meaningless games while playing a bunch of veterans.

No shit, utterly stupid

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Why is Banton playing instead of Scoot?

This is the real question.

 

[Cugel]

A top 3 pick will become less and less probable as these meaningless wins add up.
