    Bright side: I really liked Clingan and Tou tonight.

    As I said, look at how long the other G-Leaguers took. That's probably how long it'll take Scoot. I like that drive.

    Wonder when Scoot will take the Blazers fan whipping boy role away from Ant?

    This x1000.

    He hasn't shown that he can be a positive factor against other NBA players.

    Anyone else getting "technical difficulties" on their league pass feed?

    Stotts used to do the same thing. Go small and get beat regularly at the end of games.

    From what I saw, Scoot looks like the same as last year. Same problems. Would have looked better if some shots went in, but I’m more concerned with the awareness, lack of BBIQ, and generally how useless he looks without the ball.

    Banton taking the last shot? Yuck. Definitely some positives from the first game and obviously some negatives. I really liked DC and Toumani this game. I’m not really a Banton fan. On to the next. Go Blazers!

    Another thing about Scoot that’s always bugged me while we’re piling on..

    He always looks like he’s going a mile a minute. Like almost ADHD on the court.

    Which to me, reeks of lack of basketball IQ

    Now he’s in the league of the greatest athletes, can’t get away with being the best athlete among sup par ones.

    For me tonight he felt so passive. Constantly settling. Not trying to get an advantage on the defender. Letting the defender dictate his pace. I'm not too worried about the shooting. I'm more concerned that he's an average or less than average at beating his defender off the dribble and can't get up exceptionally.

    Troubling...

    Always have a backup ready. I was casting the game from my phone to the TV within seconds. Just in time to watch it cut to commercial.

    8 straight playoffs (including WCF) with Stotts as coach.
