    unlike in years past when they used to do a coin flip, they apparently changed this to simply give equal odds to both teams.

    Scoot with 14, 4, 4 and 1 turnover and 4 for 4 on threes.

    Folks keep telling me to be so concerned and talking like it's a certainty that Scoot will bust but I'm not seeing it. He's showing vast improvements fairly quickly.

    Some of his stepbacks lately have been really impressive.

    It's quite annoying, people will find anything to bitch and moan about, i would put people on ignore but then i might as well ban my damn self at that point, I would see like 6 posters if I did. And I like some banter/criticism i just don't think this is the year to bash on anyone let alone a 19 year old point guard rookie, does no one any good, and it's not like he can see it. Were still feeling the hangover of losing dame, people just need to take a hit of a joint or some shit and chill out. The game will come to him, it will just take some time.... like longer than a season.

    Scoot making some big time winning plays. Diving to tap the ball to a teammate and coming over to block Landale.

    Impressive!

    More games like this and Scoot might make me a believer. It's like he suddenly really believes he can take over the game.

    I mean, Scoot is just getting past people with ease. Now he really needs to work on his finishing.

    this is especially notable considering how far defenders sag off him and play him for the drive.

    looks like john wall out there
