    Scoot was gonna go number 3 in the draft no matter who had the pick imo. It’s Game 3. I’ll call him a bust if this is still happening in December.

    Still got time for them to get McNuggets that everyone can pay $2 for.

    Just trying something different I guess?
    Didn’t seem to work well. He just ran back and forth on the court looking at Brogdon run the offense.

    Don’t be silly. Scoot is the reason Portland tanked the last two months of last season. He’s a game changer!

    On the plus side, Hornets fans can feel better now.

    Scotty Brooks did the same with Westbrook and he's on our staff.

    Doesn’t the worst record basically never win the lottery? We need to win a few games somehow.

    Chauncey embraces the losing culture.

    Really wish we'd held on to Holiday. I could get excited about a lineup of:
    Jrue
    Shae
    Camara
    Jabari
    Ayton

    surely the worst team is overdue, but knowing our luck will get that Detroit treatment and get the 5th overall pick

    This team shouldn’t look THIS bad. We have more talent than this.

    Positives: Sharpe continues to show he could become one hell of a player. Camara continues to show he is smart, he hustles, he's tough and he has some skills. I thought Ayton played decent defense on Embid at the beginning of the game and I thought he was working harder on setting good screens.
    Every game that goes by with no indication that Billups is trying to give Ayton a role in the offense, much less try to make our most efficient shooter a focal point, just makes me really doubt Billups' competence. I really wanted to give him more of a chance but feeling discouraged.,

    I think we really just are this bad. Grant is a chucker, Ayton isn’t getting the touches which is on billups, scoot has been extremely underwhelming this far. Only bright spot is sharpe looks like he can take the league by storm eventually, this is definitely his team.

    after a Blazers timeout in the 3rd quarter mauling, the coaching staff had a look of concern... "are we going to get fired for this?"

    well, right now it looks like Scoot is about 2 years away from being 1 year away. I thought the people predicting he'd average 15-16 points and 7-8 assists this year were being pretty unrealistic, but I wasn't really sure because of not having seen Scoot go against real NBA teams when it counted. Now that I have it's not encouraging.

    Losing Ant is killing our spacing.
