    Agreed. I like this starting lineup MUCH better

    He said he decided to make the starting lineup change a couple games ago but wanted to wait until they returned home (not sure why) to do it. The original plan was to have Sharpe start and not Brogdon.

    Neither were very efficient tonight. Ant obviously had a great 4th.

    Of course, the bad thing about comparing the two is that Ant it the opposing scouts #1 concern while defenses more or less gameplan to let Scoot shoot. If the gameplan were reversed, Ant was dared to shoot and Scoot was the defenses primary focus, I'm guessing the efficency comparison would not be close.

    Also should be noted Ant had 4 assists and 0 turnovers while Scoot had 3 assists and 5 turnover. The young guy has a long way to go, but he can get there.

    Watford looked good in 1st half, nailed 2 threes, dropped a couple dimes ... then Trendon got benched the entire 2nd half, so Royce O'Neil could stand around and do absolutely nothing.

    Coach Vaughn must get grilled by Nets fans. Brooklyn has good players, but they seem poorly managed.

    The Blazers were 6pt underdogs and won by 2. I don't think the NBA would care about rigging this game, either.

    The refs just suck.

    So nobody mentioning Ant 20 points on 20 shots? 1-7 from three?
    Guess when you make the game winner that kind of thing doesn't register?

    So, I don't want to make a new thread, but where tf is Ayton and why nobody talks about it?

    I bet he has a decent career. 10 + years.
    I’d be a happy scrub if I was that good of one.

    They probably all moved down to the lower levels

    As long as you have as many points as shots….. it’s all gravy!

    Re Ayton being iced in, I'm surprised no one brought up the Dale Davis incident.

    I kind of thought after the uproar about Scoot they would have been punishing Ant.
    All he had to do was make that last one. If he misses that one and they end up losing I’m pretty certain it would have been much different.
