    What scares me just a little bit is that Scoot went from a supremely confident point guard two games ago, to a very confused and unconfident looking point guard in this game. The body language just isn't the same. Is he intimidated by Durant/Booker/Beal? Something to keep an eye on.

    Does Billups have a clue? Wan
    Yeah, we have some young guys with talent, don't want to waste that with a coach who has no clue how to develop that talent

    scoot is seeing some defensive coverages for the very first time in his life. there will be growing pains. let's see how he comes out in the 2nd half; he's usually been much better in 2nd halves, and that tells me he's a quick leaner.

    this isn't "intimidation." some of you guys are hilarious man. it's not serious.

    Murray and Rupert I see them down in the G-league a lot to work on there game. Murray needs to see some of those 3's to go in to gain his confidence. Yes Knox one of the players actually looks like that's he knows what he is doing but I billups might already have his mind made up on some of these players so interesting to what the roster actually looks like by start of the season. I expect some surprises.

    I didn't say it was intimidation. I asked if people thought that might be the case. Come on bro...

    Billups wasn't good with Dame, CJ, Ant, Powell, RoCo, Grant, Hart, Nurk, etc. What makes us think he would be good with the youngest team in the NBA?

    he’s been asked to do something that he’s not comfortable doing. He’s a pg playing off the ball standing around you’re going to lose your aggression, no rythym
