    Pretty happy with what I've seen in the first half.

    That's not settling, that's breaking down the defense and not forcing something.

    Dame is going to lose a lot love after people seeing Scoot play. Makes his departure easier to look at in the rear view mirror

    Interesting that Kolde is there. Maybe to approve a trade?

    Yeah he didn’t score in the second half. He may have exerted too much energy in that first quarter.

    This is why a guy like Grant is important. Of course, we want to see Scoot and Shae score the ball. But Grant is going to be a reliable bailout option when things aren’t going.

    Scoot/Ant/Sharpe/Grant/Any Center will score the ball. They will be last in defense again.

    Not a bad first half for the Blazers -

    I like Scoots willingness to pass. He constantly puts pressure on the defense, and does a nice job kicking the ball to his teammates as the defense collapses.

    You know who else has good mid range Chris Paul. Later on Paul started to shoot the 3.

    Everyone looking good on the blazers except:

    Duop Reath
    Rupert
    Davis

    Scoot and Sharpe look really nice. Jabari quietly playing pretty well too.

    Nurkic would LOVE playing with Scoot and viceversa.

    Scoot is gonna be a leader. Said before I just can't see a world where Scoot isn't good. I believe in the person.

    Too prideful. I've seen all I need to see, time to move into the future now. Cronin needs to find his balls and not fuck this up. IF he can do that, man we can be scary in a few years.
