This is the Scoot we all waiting for

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Scoot is awesome.

 

[blazerkor]

Maybe it's something mental with Scoot. I wonder if he puts too much pressure on himself when he thinks he's the most talented guy playing for our team. He seems to be playing with more freedom with Deni available to play.

 

[PCmor7]

Um ... like I said, it was brilliant to bring Deni back tonight so you could bring Scoot in off the bench and he'd have a chance to get a feel for the game before stepping out on the floor. Splitter is a genius.

 

[crandc]

Pacers outpaced.

 

[Everything Beagle]

What’s up with Krecji? I thought he was some sort of decent shooter! He’s been kind of garbage out there for us.

 

[Chris Craig]

I've missed this version of the Blazers

He came to Portland

Great game by Scoot but time to sit Deni so he does not screw up his back again since it's prolly tender to begin with no need to play with fire with a 20 pt lead.

 

[Everything Beagle]

He came to Portland

I forgot the gravity is different here

 

[Ripcity4life77]

WHY the fuck is Deni back in the game with a 20 pt lead ??

If Deni screws his back again this is on Tiago -- Period

 

[Quatro44]

Ok Deni, but with this lead it’s okay to rest

 

[Ripcity4life77]

After the FT -- pull Deni next dead ball -- again playing with fire but

Damn he looking good.

Also let Scoot work some more to get his confidence up.

 

[TYDame]

Dang the Blazers are a different team when Deni plays

 

[Everything Beagle]

I love that Jay Huff is a guy who looks exactly like his name. Always nice when that happens.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I think Deni saw the piece that Blazers Edge wrote about them still needing a number one and he is like -- screw you Edge ... I can be Batman -- LOL

 

[Everything Beagle]

I'm glad Scoot is taking himself and his situation seriously tonight.

 

[blazerkor]

If this is the kind of basketball we'll see the rest of the season then we will likely finish a game or two above .500.

Really fun to watch these guys operate tonight and it's not lost on me that it's against the team with the second worst record in the league.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Deni and Scoot got about what Deni and Shae got before Scoot came back. We're up by 20. It really is just that we were missing 25 points of offense lol

 

[Quatro44]

Blake broke some ankles

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I could be wrong but I think Yang conditioning wise is worse then DC was last year and I think he needs to get in better shape maybe even lose 5 to 10 pounds and try to get a little more agile out there. I think if he can do that this offseason we should see a better Yang next season cause even best case I think were at least one more year from seeing a solid bench piece aka 2nd string center for this team.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Hansen looks better on the perimeter.

 

[riverman]

I know I needed to see a game like this. Gives me hope again. Scoot was great. Let's hope it sticks around. Everybody played great. Let's go make the playoffs!

 

[TYDame]

Do it again next game.. I want to blowout the Hornets

 

[Quatro44]

Tonight, Scoot looked like a #3 pick

 

[illmatic99]

this Scoot game wipes the stink off just slightly. need to see more

 

[TYDame]

Anyone notice that Only Blake pass the ball to Yang

 

[BBert]

I forgot the gravity is different here

It's the Portland Vortex. The epicenter is the MODA

 

[Eastoff]

Great game!

 

[Pinwheel1]

Scoot was so fun to watch. Good to see him play well next to either Jrue or Deni.
Glad to have some depth finally. Hopefully it stays that way.
