What a crazy Scoot game. Cold on the midrange shots he’s usually good at, but he more than made up for it by going 6 for 7 from three. Plus the monster dunk on Jeff Green. I loved every second of it.

Here are my thoughts on this game:
* Nice to see Scoot have a good night scoring the ball. And that dunk was cool. I think he raised his 3pt percentage by like 1.5 percentage points just from today alone, lol. Also, 6/7 from three and 4/16 from two is such a Scoot thing to do – he’s really gotta learn how to finish. But overall today was a pretty fun game from Scoot.
* Sucks that Jabari and Ayton got hurt.
* Speaking of Ayton, he didn’t look very healthy today even before he got shut down. And he’s incredibly bad whenever he has to create something off the dribble. Oh well, he’s earned an off game lol.
* Dalano Banton sure love to shoot the ball lol. He shot 11 FGA in the fourth quarter (and 6 FTA) lmao.
* Running out of energy to type up too many more thoughts so I’ll just leave it at that lol

Seeing lots of minutes for some of the young dudes that actually may stick around for a bit has made this end of the season quite a bit more enjoyable to me than last couple of years. No hate to Tank Commander Elleby haha

Tonight is the best I’ve felt about the future of the Blazers in such a long time. Scoot just gave them an entire promo reel to play all summer to try and get people buying season tickets again.
Also I am 99% sure that someone was like “Coach the Spurs won” and Chauncey just said say no more and gave Moses a head nod to start limbering up.

I have been so low on Scoot and his future potential all year. I truly think his confidence was badly rattled. The way he was moving, dribbling, shooting, trashing talking, and DUNKING tonight has totally flipped the switch for me. I SEE the vision and I am HAPPY to be WRONG about him. I really think it takes a whole year to wipe off the stench of the Ignite once you make the NBA. Scoot had 2 years of the Ignite + Billups so he really had it tough….
His jump-shot looks so much different lately. Even if he isn’t going 6-6 every night, if he can be a reliable pull up jump shooter AND have the handle he showed tonight? Thats a dangerous offensive threat that will cause defenses to collapse and open up his playmaking. His motor was on 100x and his trash talking + athleticism was finally there too!! I am seeing why he was SO hyped up and guys like Sam Vecenie said he was the best PG prospect the last decade.
I really didn’t see the high end talent enough to have faith in his long term future because all his good passes were in between numerous turnovers and fouls and bad shots. But his shooting foundation mixed with his handle looked so damn good, imagine once he starts absorbing contact on drives and decelerating. The crazy handle was the swing skill for me cause his shooting has improved since game 15 and on, but yeah THIS guy is someone you build around. I remember Nate Duncan said he was surprised he didn’t see a lot of highlight cross overs and dunks this year because he was expecting it. Now that Scoot confidence is there, he was COOKING DILLON BROOKS. Just nasty dribble moves, jump shots, drives, passes, a perfect game for him.
I’m officially on the Scooter yall ahaha.

Does anyone know if we get more ping pong balls now that the Spurs won and our records are tied now? I assume we’ll both lose the next game.
Edit: I see that they are playing Detroit for their last game. Good chance they’ll win that one. The tank goes on.

1 TO compared to 7 assists for Scoot. We like to see that.
