    Scoot has looked completely passive on both ends of the floor.

    Did he read the criticism of how many shots he took last game to heart? This is the most passive game I've seen from him.

    Scoot with the turnover-fest after Bridges gets hurt.

    That's some classic early-season-level Scoot, although Ant didn't help him out much on a couple of the early plays with his apathy on coming to the ball off the screens.

    Cam Thomas can light it up. Reminds me of Flip Murray

    Tone said Dinwiddie trying to get his 2K rating up.

    We aren’t running anything on offense. It’s either Malcolm or Scoot just dribbling away.

    Because it is all about development this year, not wins.

    there's a bunch more rookies next year. We gotta get use to "Dame doesn't want to play with 19yr olds."

    Scoot strikes me as a low BBIQ player. Hopefully he develops some…

    Looks like Ayton isn’t the answer. That’s the excuse I gave to get out of work today, and I felt guilty about it. Can’t imagine if they were paying me 30 mil per.

    I thought this for his first month, then I saw signs he was getting it.

    Then I see tonight and I just don't know what he is.

    I see it as just growing pains as a rookie NBA PG.

    Bridges blew a layup. Chauncey still screaming at cheating refs.

    Sounds like the Blazers sent people out to get him and the ice was so bad, they were unsuccessful.
