    Looked fine the other night when the camera panned on him. Rip City? Nahh. Tank City.

    Didn’t realize Jabari Walker had multiple personality disorder. He is good to go on the Blazer bench but injured for the Rockets.

    Does he also get two pay checks?

    That is why they should be benched. Scoot wants to play.

    Scoot has been so handsy and opportunistic defensively lately. Using his strength to his advantage as well. Love it. He's got legitimately some really good defensive tools and he's starting to use them consistently.

    Offensively he's picking his spots. The drives look better and more decisive. Has used the slow step a couple times which should be a big weapon for him if the floater range touch can improve. The shot obviously looks better

    Just playing with the swagger, confidence and fight that I saw in SL that we've seen so little so far in his NBA career.

    Hopefully a sign of things to come.

    Getting so sick of watching Shaedon bobbling the ball everytime he dribbles or goes to pass like he has hooks instead of hands. The falling down is getting old, too.

    I hope he works with a ballhandling coach all offseason. He needs it.

    Scoot looking solid again although his shot's not falling.

    Horrible recognition of time and score on that last Rocket possession. Played it like we've never played the game before.

    Does Grant know he's the worst 2-point shooter on the team?

    his 2 point percentage equals his 3 point percentage at about 38%.

    Shaedon needs to be benched for his shit defense right now. He's just giving up when he gets beat and is a step late.

    Offense not great either but this defense is piss poor

    Billups' ATO efficiency has to be the worst in the league
