minus 17 now. How is that possible?

Now it's minus 20! WTH?

 

[illmatic99]

We ALMOST had the perfect game and then Clingan had to go down awkwardly in the last minute.

think its just an ankle.... i hope

minus 17 now. How is that possible?

The other team scored 17 more points than us while he was in the game.

 

[KingSpeed]

The Glasses (my nickname for the Scoot/Sharpe/Clingan core) produced 64/20/10/5/1 tonight. Clingan was a +6. The future looks bright.

played so bad he’s even getting dinged after the horn sounds

 

[KingSpeed]

The other team scored 17 more points than us while he was in the game.

And how is that possible?

 

[B-Roy]

I'm happy with the outcome but lets be honest here. The Nets rolled into the game with a G League lineup and they could probably score at will with their eyes closed. This team is hopeless.

 

[blazerkor]

39 points on 18 shots is a helluva game!

The defense had a real problem getting matched up on defense quickly. then there was a lot of over-helping as usual.

Ayton

[RR7]

And how is that possible?

Oh. Every time they put the ball through the hoop, they get 1, 2, or 3 points. They did that more than the Blazers did.

 

[kjironman1]

They LOST!

 

[wizenheimer]

Ayton

it pissed me off so much that Cronin wanted Ayton and made him the centerpiece of the Dame trade. This outcome was completely predictable

Well, that trade ended being a pretty good trade.

Camara, Avdija, Rob, 1 1st, 2 swaps + eating Ayton's contract.

Failing forwards, as they say. Same as Olshey getting lucky with the Nurkic trade.

 

[illmatic99]

Ayton was disgraceful tonight, even for him. Awful display of just lazy basketball

 

[Quatro44]

0-5 home stand incoming.

 

[blazerfan11]

Is that number correct? (yes , it is correct).

 

[RR7]

Is that number correct?

he was 32 of 107 entering the game, left 40 of 117, to improve to 34.2%

 

[Quatro44]

Is that number correct? (yes , it is correct).

I looked at nba.com and he’s at 34.2 after tonight’s game. Using bbref and not including tonight’s game it was at 29.9

That's surprising his average could increase from bad to respectable in one game.

I think Scoot is also 3% higher than Sharpe for the moment.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hey nets, leave our WABCs alone.

atta boy

 

[Pinwheel1]

It seems like most of you should be happy this morning. They lost to a team they were tied with in the lottery race, and Scoot, Sharpe, Clingan, Camara, and Murray all played a lot , and all played reasonably well.

 

[wizenheimer]

That's surprising his average could increase from bad to respectable in one game.

yeah, his 107 attempts prior to the game was a significant sample size, but it wasn't a large one. His 10 attempts last night are 8.5% of his total so far; and his 8 conversions are 20% of his season's mark. Those kind of things can shift the numbers

in the 5 games prior to last night he had gone 4-16 on three; in the prior 6 games, 5-22 (22.7%). Prior to those last 6 games his 3ptFG% was 31.8%. So, his conversion rate had been depressed below his norms and that made the 1 game bump more dramatic

 

[AldoTrapani]

@AldoTrapani where's all of the "poop" Henderson comments tonight??? You should at least give someone who you talk so much shit about credit when he's absolutely killing it.

I think tonight shows us that with Scoot it's way more about mindset than anything else. I think the same can be said for Shaedon. I like Ant and this isn't me talking shit about him. I just think it would help the development of both Scoot and Shaedon if we found Ant a better home.

you can’t be serious right? He had a career night and boom immediately you think he’s amazing now? You know there’s guys out the league who have nights like scooter had.

please know the game then post

 

[kjironman1]

Another classic!
Please someone not on ignore repost this so he can see it!
This is just good as gold!

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Super impressive game by Scoot.

Also impressive how horrific Ayton is.

I hate the Ant/Scoot starting duo though.

So pathetic we're paying 90 million for this Grant AytonAnt trio. I'd really like to watch the rest of the roster play without those guys. I suspect the coaches would like it even more.

I just said if you're going to constantly talk shit about the dude, then you should have been on here giving him his flowers when they were due. That's it. Scoot is shooting better than 34% from 3, he's averaging 5 assists and a steal a game, coming off of the bench for the most part and only logging 26 minutes per game this season. This is all with a lot of ups and downs. Does the kid need to get more consistent? Of course he does but I think anyone but an absolute fool would be giving him time to get more consistent but then again what do I expect from someone who's so childish he calls the guy poop?

Your posts about Scoot and obviously through the years a bunch of other shit make you look like a clown and I'm supposed to... the term is "learn the game"? SMH. You're a miserable fan dude... fucking miserable. Only able to post about the negative shit and not even in a remotely informed manor.

Manner not manor.

Then he likes a post showing classic clownism. I'm betting he has no clue where the "learn the game then post" comment came from.
