    I like how our team passes. They don't always work but I like that they're trying.

    I get the athleticism comparisons to Westbrook, but to me Scoot seems never out of control, never forcing stuff. Plays within the game, and has unbelievable athleticism. Cant say the same for Westbrook as great as he was in his prime. Scoot plays winning basketball.

    Badji = Prime Dwight Howard.
    Reath = 36 year old Deandre Jordan.

    Entertaining game. Both teams have nice, young pieces.

    There was Scoot first bad shot, but he makes a good defensive play on the other end.

    I’m not sure if it’s jealousy but I think he knows it would be a matter of time before the fan base says trade Lillard because Scoot needs to be unleashed.

    Wonder if Dame is watching and if so what's he thinking. I think it would be natural not to pull for Scoot and at the same time he may be thinking i could play with him.
