    Ok. Don’t get your hopes up. Scoot isn’t who ya want him to be. I’m still banking he’s not that good. But ya won’t remember when I’m right

    So your whole plan is wishing a player sucks? don’t tell me you are gonna hire a hitman to whack Scoot’s knee just to prove your point.

    Can you put that in a memo and call it shit we already know. He’s improving and actually showing flashes. Best to just enjoy the ride.

    Probably. I want him to be the best point guard in the history of basketball. And I want Sharpe to be the best two way wing in the history of basketball. And I want Clingan to be the best center in the history of basketball. And I want Camara to be the best defensive wing in NBA history. And I want Deni to be the most dynamic PF in the history of basketball.

    And I want some of our reserves to be all stars.

    I understand that this will not happen. So I just want to sit back and enjoy their development to see how close to my dreams they can get.

    Sustainable? For this year? Of course not but nobody expects that. The dude is about to turn 21 and he works hard on his game., why can't he
    keep improving?

    I'm sure we would remember; because you would definitely be right there to remind us.

    Man, imagine being such a hater, that I'm sure you're hoping Scoot plays bad so you can troll some more, which is hella cringe.

    It was funny at first, now it's just sad. Especially sad that people just starting ignoring you and you keep doing it, like you get off on doing it lol.

    Keep scrolling by his post the next time Scoot has a bad stretch guys and ignore him, because he is sitting and waiting to troll again.

    Kind of seems to me like Scoot is having more good games than bad recently.

    Max troll.


    Will you come back and admit you are wrong if he finishes the season with good numbers stats and eye test?

    of course not. Trolls only troll, have zero interest in a conversation, say the same shit over and over and over, regardless of change and evolution and laugh off truths.

    Why are you here?

    I am a fan of scoot, the good and the bad. He’s earning his place while taking the lumps of growing as a player. Who doesn’t make mistakes and need good motivation to succeed in a career?

    He is effectively still a kid in my view, my son who is now 22 still needs a parents help with things from time to time and needs guidance even when he doesn’t realize.

    Most likely scoot still needs guidance and the grace to make mistakes and learn from them.

    I think he is just getting started on what he will become!

    you weren't here when dame sunk houston's championship aspirations with 'the .9 dagger'. afterwards jinxspeed went over to the rockets forums pretending to be one of their fans, and trolled them heavily "drinking their tears" and reporting back quotes of his posts. we all thought it was hilarious. they found out and a couple of them hung around trolling for revenge. aldo is the latest personification of the longest lasting troll. notice comments about how nice amen is for them recently? was the same over here for years. houston rockets butt hurt fan. get a life brah.

    Scoots impact to the game is bigger this year than last, and his trend is continuing to rise.

    This run of 3 good game is his longest stretch without a bad game in his short career. Let's make that 4.

    I love the pace he’s playing at but realistically his scoring will definitely come back down. He extremely hot from 3. He’ll need to be a 3 point threat to keep his drives open.
