    It's the Scoot Henderson show. He democratizes the ball and makes everyone better. It's such a better brand of basketball.

    Regardless of the future outcome, that was a fun stretch!

    What a horrific end by Ant. Just threw away our momentum

    Well we had a helluva second quarter going but you have to think the Kings are pretty happy going into half time only down by 7.

    Not entirely his fault but this momentum went to shit when Grant came in for Matisse.

    Ant was hot, but then went no-pass offense twice in the last couple of minutes which came up empty while teammates just stood around. That is not how they got their lead. They got it by moving the ball and players and by attacking the basket and then getting open shots. Kings go on a huge run to close the half. Still up 7, but it should be a lot more.

    Yeesh. Ant was a one-man wrecking crew the last 2 minutes.

    More positive performances from Scoot.

    If he played like this to start the season, we'd all have been jumping.

    Judging by the current posts, I think he's having some problems overcoming the first impression he made.

    Why did Billups take Scoot out before the end of the half?

    Because he was starting to be detrimental. Can only have him in so long.

    That crappy hook shot he took after he faked Fox out of his shoe was reason enough to sit him down.

    Ant played his best staying off ball. Credit Chauncey for making that change when Scoot is in the game. Now people are seeing the difference and how it doesn't really work when Ant is managing the ball. He's better when he's making quick decisions rather than pounding the ball.

    Are we really at the point where we're questioning why a guy who played 18 straight minutes got taken out?

    Sabonis salivates when Brown is on him down low.
