Game Thread 2023-24 Game #16 - BLAZERS @ BUCKS - NOVEMBER 26, 2023 - SUNDAY - 12:30 PM PST - ROOT

You guys are missing the point. You play Scoot in this moment so he can experience it. A close game against one of the best teams in the league. This is about experience.

 

Maybe CB is trying to showcase JG and MB to increase their trade value. That is what I will now tell myself.

 

My personal opinion is that Scoot hasn't shown he's ready to lead the offense. I have no issue with him being off the ball because he's still getting reps on defense and learning the speed of the game. I do get where you're coming from and I don't think this is an ideal situation. There are negatives to giving it to Scoot all game when he's not ready and there are negatives to him not getting enough reps.

An imperfect roster, playing under an imperfect coach, should be expected produce imperfect results.

I found this afternoons game far more enjoyable than the stretch where Brogdon wasn't leading the team and we were just getting smoked.

 

I agree... I think Scoot can get valuable experience without being the focal-point of the offense. Based off what I've seen from Scoot, I think being the focal-point right now might be bad for him (and others) long term.

 

Blazers made 10-15 from 3 to start, then 3-17 from deep for the rest of the game.

 

scoot lacks confidence in some aspects of his game (getting rid of the ball & afraid to slash to the basket)

no-ones gonna kill him if he tries something and fails, id rather see scoot do something and fail then brogdon/grant do something and succeed

scoot is the present & future of this team (hopefully), the other two could be gone anytime and hopefully the will

 

I think so too. There is a directive from JC to CB to showcase JG and MB. If true, can't blame CB

 

Never heard anyone say Scoot was anything but oozing confidence

 

I think she’s around my age. A girl I grew up with is good friends with her.

Honestly, I find her schtick kind of annoying

 

How old are you? I have a plethora of family and friends that went there

 

i didnt like how he played in the crunch time, deferring to grant/brogdon

if im the head coach, im putting the ball in the scoot/shae hands, fuck grant/brogdon and their feelings

 

If Brogdon was dropping dimes to Ayton I'd be ok with him starting for now.

However, Brogdon has no chemistry with Ayton so we're just wasting Scoot and Ayton by not letting them gel.

 

I agree with this notion. But if that’s the goal, then put the ball in Scoot and Shaedon’s hands so they can gain that experience. Instead, they were just standing around and watching Grant and Brogdon taking turns isoing.

 

Hopefully one of the blazers will develop into a superstar.
It's nice to get questionable whistles to go in your favor

 

Was it just me or did they fail to give us 3 points on a Camara 3 in the 1st qtr and Bucks 2 points they did not score? Look at it again.

edit: looks like I saw a replay and counted that

 

radio in Milwaukee said it sailed into the 200 level

 

I'm in my late 40's. I was there when JDM was circa 1991 to 1994. But I left partway through my Junior year, but crashed the graduation party lol.

 

If there is anything one can call a good loss, that was it.

 

Oops! That final statement has a fatal assumption, you are assuming there are ANY plays. I’ve yet to see evidence of anything other then playground ball & ISO ball.
