Eating Crow about Scoot

[kjironman1]

Kind of seems to me like Scoot is having more good games than bad recently.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Banking on him being not good….

okay troll

Max troll.

All I’m saying is it won’t be sustainable

Will you come back and admit you are wrong if he finishes the season with good numbers stats and eye test?

of course not. Trolls only troll, have zero interest in a conversation, say the same shit over and over and over, regardless of change and evolution and laugh off truths.

Why are you here?

2025 Scoot is much better than 2024 Scoot who was much better than 2023 Scoot

I am a fan of scoot, the good and the bad. He’s earning his place while taking the lumps of growing as a player. Who doesn’t make mistakes and need good motivation to succeed in a career?

He is effectively still a kid in my view, my son who is now 22 still needs a parents help with things from time to time and needs guidance even when he doesn’t realize.

Most likely scoot still needs guidance and the grace to make mistakes and learn from them.

I think he is just getting started on what he will become!

you weren't here when dame sunk houston's championship aspirations with 'the .9 dagger'. afterwards jinxspeed went over to the rockets forums pretending to be one of their fans, and trolled them heavily "drinking their tears" and reporting back quotes of his posts. we all thought it was hilarious. they found out and a couple of them hung around trolling for revenge. aldo is the latest personification of the longest lasting troll. notice comments about how nice amen is for them recently? was the same over here for years. houston rockets butt hurt fan. get a life brah.

Scoots impact to the game is bigger this year than last, and his trend is continuing to rise.

This run of 3 good game is his longest stretch without a bad game in his short career. Let's make that 4.

oh i was here. I remember superbeard very well.

very impressed by Scoot in January. I hope it is sustainable

I love the pace he’s playing at but realistically his scoring will definitely come back down. He extremely hot from 3. He’ll need to be a 3 point threat to keep his drives open.

yup i keep him(them) on ignore. they add nothing and would only detract from my enjoyment if i let them so i don't.

Guys I’m warning you. Do not get your hopes up on scoot. Hes sucking you guys back in..

I've always been in on him. He can't even buy his first legal beer until next month. Scoot is a BMFR and you will be eating tons of crow for years to come

 

[RonBrewer]

Westbrook the better defender but Scoot is adequate.
Scoot will be the better shooter from deep.

Thanks for the post

Anyone who enjoys the trolling is just as bad as the troll.

Not a high bar to clear. Russ would have been unstoppable if he shot the 3 ball well

In his prime, he was unstoppable.

Let's wait until he puts a month of solid play under his belt first.

Fair enough.

Like, perhaps, the past 32 days' worth of games, which is slightly more than a month?

 

[blazerfan11]

In January, Scoot has met what I think should be standards for a starting point guard in the NBA.

50 % shooting overall, 35% or better 3-point shooting, 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio and decent defense.

He's slightly below a 2-to-1 assist/turnover ratio, at 1.84 to 1, but in his last 5 games it's been 2.29 to 1. (39 assists and 17 turnovers)

Good point

Do we really need/want to encourage a troll to come back?

So, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the baseline for a good point guard. Hey, nothing wrong with high standards

I probably meant 50% 2-point shooting. It doesn't make sense to me that a good player should make less than half of their 2-point shots.

SGA is at 60% on 2-pointers for the season.

More than Scoots scoring I just want to see him run the offense create easy opportunities for team mates and keep turnovers down. I also want to see some break out games where he might go for over 20-30 points.

Feel like game is finally starting to slow down for him so he’s showing all the signs of being a very good possibly great pg

Still rooting against one of our players because of your ego. That's what I'm talking about when I call you a sad and pathetic fan of this team.

When a fan roots FOR a player, is it because of the fan's ego?

And there are many on this board who root against the Sheed team. Ego?

I know this is a challenge for you but don't be ridiculous. Sheed did a lot of things that alienated some Blazers fans, I wasn't one of them, I loved Sheed's time here. What has Scoot done besides have one of the best attitudes I've ever seen from z player? He took time to adjust to the highest league in basketball.

Aldo decided to go negative as he always has and now he can't abandon that position. What reason do you think Aldo has to root against Scoot? The only reason is so Aldo is right in his never ending negativity about almost every aspect of this team.

This isn't critical thinking, it's pure idiocy... that's referring to both Aldo's position and yours defending him.
