Game Thread 2023-24 GAME #66 - BLAZERS VS KNICKS - MARCH 14, 2024 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

I wasn't sure since the announcers completely ignored it.

 

Is that Sebastian Telfair or Scoot?

Atrocious outing.

He went from showing flashes to this mess

 

Is it good or bad that Hagans is by far our best PG tonight?

 

Then he does stuff like this. I feel like Scoot has some mental blocks when he makes a single mistake.

 

4-0 Scoot run. Coach Thibs calls timeout.
Take that New York !!

 

He's shooting 40% with a 5:1 assist to turnover ratio tonight. Are you referencing a different game?

 

That would be applicable if his downs weren't abysmal. I just have trouble remembering a star player who looked this terrible this often as a blue chip draft pick. When he looks bad, he looks like a player who doesn't have any business in the NBA/

 

Scoot grimacing and holding his groin a bit after that back to back. Jesus I hope he didn't hurt that groin again...

 

That's what the Toronto press said about McGrady and he turned out to be one of the best. The circumstances aren't entirely the same, but the point is Scoot has also looked really really good. I'm not too worried.

 

I referenced it when he was like 1-for-7 and had just followed up one pullup that missed badly with a 3-pointer that missed even worse. I stand by the assessment.

 

DA can cut it to 10

 

Ayton not happy, gets a T

 

So if he goes 7-8 in the first half next game should we call him a future HOFer?

He's already been a franchise PG, bust, stud, and now back to worrisome in less than a year.

 

Banton passed it to a lucky fan

 

OK, so it doesn't worry you. Great. What does that have to do with what I think about it.

And McGrady was a 45% shooter from the field and a 34% shooter from 3 averaging 1 turnover and 1 foul per game as an 18-year-old and was eighth in most improved player voting as a 19-year-old. Scoot's shooting numbers are considerably lower and his turnovers and fouls are a lot higher.

 

Scoot ran over Brunson
that's good defense

 

I don't think the twin towers worked very well defensively.

 

Scoot's about to foul out

 

Brunson tacks on 40

 

Banton up to double digits
that'll make a Franz bread card
