Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #26 - BLAZERS VS SUNS - DEC 15, 2024 - SUN - 5:00 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

You know what I meant. Like the phrase “putting words in someone else’s mouth.” That’s what I meant. Don’t tell us what Scoot thinks.

 

I guess both Williams and Clingan are on minutes restrictions?

 

I honestly believe if Scoot were drafted by a winning coach with proven talent development skills, he would be a different player. Look at this lineup: Scoot Ant and Deni with Scoot playing off the ball on lots of possessions. Why would Billups do that?

 

We just need to trade Ant. He needs to leave the organization. Scoot should be THE leader of the team. Give that a couple seasons and we’ll see the player he really is.

 

Advija and Camara both the SF of the future?

 

We have the best fan base in the league if they can just give us something to be excited about.

 

We done.

 

This is truth. Vulcans don’t know what they got. Moda would be fucking insane every night if this was a winning team. Seen it before

 

Why in the fuck is Ant giving Canara defensive pointers

 

Didn’t you used to be the biggest apologist? What happened?

Or maybe I’m confusing you with someone else

 

Scoot - I don't view him as a leader, or at least, as a good one. Bad defensively, turnover machine and can't finish or shoot. He may have a strong personality but he isn't a leader I want our team following.
Sharpe - Hasn't exhibited willingness to BE the leader. I think he could but he strikes me more as a Rasheed Wallace type - very talented but not a real leader.

From my perspective, we have a serious lack in two places - coaching (please, get us someone who has a concept of an offensive schema and encourages defense) and a team leader to give this team an identity.

Dame was not only talented but very quickly became the team leader and it became his team. We just have a bunch of guys and it is nobody's team and a nobody coach.

Sometimes I'm amazed we do as well as we do (then we have the blowouts and all hope is again vanquished).

Sharpe got benched for Banton

 

I turned it off. I just couldn’t.

 

I don't know. I don't see a lot there. He looks to me like one of the most overhyped prospects I've ever seen. Had that one good game in the G League against Wembanyama, but he's a 6-2 screen setter.

Guy can't shoot layups left-handed. His court awareness for an NBA player is really poor.

It's really bad that we're at a point right now that if he scores 12 points we think he's had a good night.
