If we are going to win, Scoot and Sharpe playing well and getting valuable minutes closing out the game down the stretch is how to do it.
They wrote Scoot off
He ain’t write back
I get so excited whenever I think about what this team will be like a year from now once the coaching and Ant/Jerami/Ayton situations are (hopefully) resolved. There’s so much fucking potential in this roster, and it should only get better after this deadline and draft.
Copying my game thread comment+:
Scoot has arrived, this isn’t just a hand wave hot streak, these are decision making and ball control differences that are easily replicable and foundational pieces to the rest of his game unlocking
This isn’t to say he’s not gonna have bad games in the future, infact a Tiny Snell stat line one more time wouldn’t surprise me. But, he’s found the answers to NBA basketball and the snowball effect is starting here
Scoot my sun and my stars
Scoot > Ant. Ant to the bench going forward.
Good game good win
Chanucey is an idiot for benching Shae.
It took a couple games but seems like Scoot’s New Year’s resolution of stunting on these hoes has came to fruition.
Future is BRIGHT
Hot take: I am happy when we look like a competent team.
Also for the haters out there the Scoot breakout has officially arrived.
This was a massive opportunity for Scoot to show what he can do when given the keys to the offense, and he really showed out. Exciting stuff we are seeing from him right now. I hope he keeps it rolling.
Scoot stonks are rising. Buy them while they’re still cheap.
Scoot and shae both balling out in the same game has to mean something positive for the future. So so happy for Scoot
Bulls have to be one of the tougher franchises to root for the past 15ish years man. They were baaaaad tonight and made us look like a functional ball club. They don’t seem to have much direction and the front office/ownership for whatever reason refuses to commit to the tank
Quality Scoot game + W is crack
you’re my boy scoot!!!
Hi, no recap today because I was watching my Bills for the first half and then having visiting family for dinner afterwards. But Scoot/Sharpe with great stat lines and a win makes me want to definitely watch the replay. Yay.
Just box score watching, but why’d Sharpe come off the bench today with no Ant?
Side note, but is this the first time in his career that Scoot has strung together 4 good games in a row?
Camara was horrid offensively and Ayton brick hands were bad from any passes from guards, but outside of that, everyone looked awesome. Can see potential turning to results quickly
I never sold my scott henderson stock.
I really expected us to lose that after halftime.
I’ll admit, I was thinking scoot was looking like he wasn’t going to pan out and I’m so happy to be wrong. It’s beating a dead horse but ant and ayton trades need to happen at the deadline
Ant’s Injury is a disaster for the Blazers lottery odds, I hope he will come back soon!
Scoot needs a permanent -2 TO adjustment in the box scores whenever Ayton plays. Those bobbles and fumbles are killing me.
Great Scoot game. I am loving his defense. A couple of bad plays still and a smoked layup, but overall really encouraging.
A decent reaction from Shae from getting benched. I want to see a bit more from him before Chauncey puts him back in the starting lineup.
Ayton, Grant, Deni, Murray all played really well I thought.
Camara good on D but is struggling on offense. I think he needs to chill a bit.
Banton and Walker were fine.
All that said, I thought the Bulls were awful. It is good to get a W every 4 to 5 losses to keep the vibes going, so I’ll take it.
I’ll give it to Chauncey on this one, usually doesn’t seem like Shae responds well to getting the hook and his confidence shrinks. Definitely felt like it lit a fire under him tonight, even if it started out rough he responded with an aggressive mentality from the jump
I wish we played every game like the way we played today and not like the way we played yesterday. Ya know?
