  1. Is Chauncey even running planned plays for Scoot? Because it feels like he’s just being told to figure it out without screens or set plays.

    At least Camara looks like a fucking stud.

  2. TheLetterOh

    From where I’m sitting this was a fun ass game despite the score.

    I fucking love Toumani, Bari, and Rob playing together. So much hustle and grit.

    Shaedon looks incredible. Fuck the Grant ISO, give Shaedon the goddamn ball and let him cook.

  3. NevermoreSEA

    It’s honestly pretty hard to imagine us ever actually winning a game, but I believe that anything is possible through the power of Shaedon.

    Official petition for Sharpe to start when Ant returns.

  5. Chicken_Difficult

    I truly think that if we found a pigeon from downtown as head coach, we would have better ball movement

  6. dukkha_dukkha_goose

    I know Scoot’s not supposed to be good yet but it’d sure be reassuring if he at least showed flashes of good

    Sharpe scoring on embiid made it worth the watch

    This team is going to be so trash and that’s okay. I’m glad everyone is coming around to it. We also have 0 spacing and it’s so ugly to watch. We have pretty much two guys who can shoot and that’s about it. Gonna be a long month with no ant and a long season in general. Buckle in! Go blazers!

    The amount of people in the game threads getting unreasonably mad because we are losing games makes me laugh. Like honestly what did they expect? I can’t wait until they lose interest and stop posting.

    Once again Billups refused to run good plays for Scoot. Brogdon gets double screens, elevator screens, whatever else drawn up for him. Scoot is expected to just hand the ball off to Jerami Grant every play. It’s infuriating. Brogdon who isn’t known for his playmaking has an entire personal playbook, and Scoot gets nothing. The one time they ran a proper pick and roll with him and not a lazy Ayton screen which didn’t result in a passing lane we ended up getting a bucket. Scoot needs to be getting into the PnR damn near every time he goes down the floor.

    Grant and Brogdon need to be traded for picks. We will not be competitive with them as it is. Go full process this year.

    What is Chauncey’s game plan with Ayton? I get that he said he wasn’t going to dump it down low like he is embiid, but running no plays while letting grant and brogdon dribble the air out of the ball makes no sense. We are giving him less touches than he got in phoenix. Like why trade for him?

  12. thematthampton

    Oh we STINK!!!!!!!!!! I started watching during the third quarter and couldn’t find nearly any positives from that game. Chauncey has to go 🤮

  13. I am straight up not having a good time with this scoot start.

    I know a ton of people are going to spam me sighting his age but it’s yet another game with a ton of turnovers and bad shooting.

    I just want to see SOMETHING out of this kid, even a flash or a good play.

    I’m still waiting.

  14. beatrailblazer

    Not the worst game ever tbh. We’re playing one of the better teams in the East, so a big loss was expected. Shaedon Toumani and Jabari all looked good. Scoot did not, but I’m going to wait 10 games before I get even a little bit concerned.

  15. Need4Sheed30

    All this talk about Scoot, Billups, Ayton but nobody is acknowledging the fact Thybulle scored 2 points in 2 games…..

    Get this dude outta here

  16. Tanking or not, Scoot in the starting lineup is untenable right now. His confidence is completely shot and Billups is doing him no favors.

  17. No_Information3972

    Billups is a garbage coach, and not the right guy to guide this rebuild.

  18. 16 shots for both grant and brogdan, most for our players aside from camara.. that shouldnt happen

  19. Proper_Hurry_362

    Scoots numbers were pedestrian in the G league. How did I so wrongly think they would get better or maintain amongst Uber competition.

  20. Such-Egg-7584

    A lot of positives to take away from this game.

    Camara is a stud

    Ball movement looked better

    Defense is improving

    Jabari making a case for more minutes

  21. Losalou52

    Scoot needs to be coming off of the bench. Mainly so he can play against the other team’s second unit and get a better feel. We are asking too much of him too soon. Put him in a position to succeed.

  22. SeaBreath692

    I don’t get it man. What does Joe Cronin see in Billups

  23. boredandbtr

    Honestly would you rather have Chauncey or will Ferrell in semi pro as coach? I give the edge to Ferrell because competence is equal but he can sing and puts an entertaining product out there

  24. SlamDunkleyKong

    That was a fun watch as a blazer fan.

    Scoot’s best game. I think when Ant comes back, Scoot should go to the bench. Let him actually run the second unit.

    Shaedon has taken an important step forward, even if it’s not quite a leap.

    Grant needs to be moved as soon as we’re able to do so. He’s a square peg in a round hole.

    Toumani is a player. He should probably start over Tysse by the end of the year.

    Ayton played better than his numbers look. I think the thing I’m most impressed with is his ability to move his feet.

    I consistently enjoy Rob’s decision making on both ends of the court. I like him at the 4 more and more alongside Ayton and then as the backup big.

    Brogdon can probably get us a protected first at the deadline from a team desperate for some scoring.

    Walker is going to be an awesome bench forward for a long time.

  25. SubtleCosmos

    San Antonio Spurs are getting destroyed by the veteran and healthy Clippers and despite being taller and longer than everyone else, Wembanyama is not doing well. It’s early, guys.

  26. CampShermanOR

    Scoot looks BAD. We need to run him for the season but I have to wonder, how could have every hype machine have gotten it so wrong? Why in the world would you draft a player to play point guard who can’t shoot??
