Like everyone else I was disappointed that Scoot still is so raw, making poor passes, not playing to his strengths, and just being underwhelming in general. Bummer.

Yeah. Watching him was just depressing. I mean, I am very far from being a Banton fan, but I'd honestly rather have him playing the point... if we were trying to win.

Another thing about Scoot that’s always bugged me while we’re piling on..

He always looks like he’s going a mile a minute. Like almost ADHD on the court.

Which to me, reeks of lack of basketball IQ

Now he’s in the league of the greatest athletes, can’t get away with being the best athlete among sup par ones.

I've said it before, but players like Big Dog Robinson and OJ Mayo came into the league with reps of being great athletes and looked just average, and Scoot is just the latest.

From what I saw, Scoot looks like the same as last year. Same problems. Would have looked better if some shots went in, but I’m more concerned with the awareness, lack of BBIQ, and generally how useless he looks without the ball.

I'm more concerned about how useless he looks WITH the ball
 
Blazinaway said:
Agree, but problem is with Billups still here will he even get coached decently? and will he accept coaching and criticism and use it to improve - I have some doubts on that, hope i am wrong

If he's not better than he showed, that's your answer. A year with a good coach is more than enough to show significant improvements on shooting and decision making within an offensive system.

Forum: I hope we tank for the number 1 pick

Also Forum: I can’t believe this team lost

Get used to it FAMS! These game threads are going to be an absolute shit show this season. Even more so than normal.

One year later, the data is in:
Camara is the best player in the Lillard trade.

Deni basically are the Lillard trade, except we still have a pick and some swaps.

Camara was probably more in exhange for Nurk /Little than Lillard.

But Deni > Camara at this point ayway.

I'd be surprised if half way through the season the game threads routinely have more than 100 posts in them. We are at a lowwwww point in the franchise, there's no denying that.

Yeah but will that be because of our franchise or because of some of the posters on this board.........who will make it unbearable to visit the site?

For this circumstance it's the team no question.

We've had really good seasons with very active threads despite discord between some members.

I would question that. If the Blazers are having a good season the threads will always be active, no matter what. But if the team is unwatchable and the fans are unbearable...that combo will be the cause of your 100-post thread prediction IMO. As many have stated the team is at least likable. But if the threads are all just obnoxious bitch sessions game after game it will take a toll.

I disagree. Apathy isn't going to create hostility in this instance.

The team is gonna suck. They need to lose every game. It'll wear on everyone.

We also had several game threads with less than 100 posts last year. Several more with less than 200.

I'm not going to be upset about a single loss this season. I just want to see the young guys playing and improving.

Some semblance of decent defensive or offensive team strategy would be nice to see.

Chauncy has shown little to no aptitude for that since he became coach, so I have little hope much will change as far as a "decent defensive or offensive team strategy". he should have been fired after last season

Really tough to disagree with that. I understand he doesn't have a ton to work with... But these guys should look a lot more organized than they do.
 
I find it extremely strange why the internet seems to have such a hate boner for such a nice kid.
