    Thybulle is 3-5 tonight and he's shooting 40% from three this season. That's plenty damn scary.

    Nah, people who give up on players in their first year because they can't contain expectations is sad.

    It's not an opinion on that. Be better. Learn.

    With the new emphasis requiring a defender to be set prior to upward motion, I can't see how this would be conclusive enough to over-turn it.

    Scoot will be fine in year 2. There IS a place on this team moving forward for Ant. Trade Brog and Grant for 1s. That is all.

    Not giving up on him either. Just hard to watch his mistakes over and over in crunch time.

    We're not winning anything this season. It's best guys stay confident, work on expanding their games and addressing their weaknesses.

    He wasn't set, not sure how that wasn't a blocking foul. Shouldn't have taken that long.

    This is a pretty good point. I went to a game last December and Sharpe was completely lost. It was very obvious live.
    Scoot will catch up. Don’t worry yet.

    I think Blazer fans are mad they can't leave early. It's still a close game.

    Sharpe was either fouled there or they hit it. No way he was that short.

    Most teams have left him open and/or rotated to him slowly all season.

    people are disappointed, pessimistic, its understandable

    scoot hasnt given us anything to be optimistic about

    the only difference between scoot and us forum members is that he has better body & conditioning, thats it (we could play just as bad)

    Well, I'd like to say it was a good effort. But damn that first half was ugly.
