Scoot Henderson with a disastrous game 4 performance: 0/0/2 on 0/7 shooting in 27 minutes, -22
Source
Blazers’ offense in general went ice cold down the stretch and this didn’t help
Shat himself when he saw wemby back
Compared to “Michael” Jordan McLaughlin today: 2 points on 100% shooting in 2 minutes
lil Mac! Loved him on the Wolves
He’s the best 4th string PG in the league bar none.
I remember in the Grizzlies series when he was still somehow more reliable than D’Angelo Russell
My GOAT
Valid response
He said he want him back.. Backfired alot..😂
You’re right he should’ve said he wanted wemby to stay injured
Or nothing at all
Yeah when the reporter asks what he thought about the opposing teams best player getting injured he should NOT have said he wanted to him to get well soon. What a disgraceful piece of shit. Just leave the interview instead, brilliant!
he was asked a question lol
This ain’t that g league showcase game
[deleted]
Nobody thought that my man
Who are these people? By the time of the draft Wemby was 100% consensus #1 and all 3 teams would have taken him.
Probably figured it was the only way to slow him down
Most people would.
? He was playing extremely well in game 2 when Wemby was on the court.
Wemby was barely on the court
He still played a quarter and Scoot was playing very well from the start of the game. It’s not like it started after Wemby went off.
You’re right. It started once he got baptized by a rookie.
…..on a 3rd year player. Lmao. 22 year old and 20 year old. Crazy gap huh.You’re acting like he’s a vet.
Sc00t

Agent double zero
Scaat
sc0/0/two
Drafting Brandon Miller over Scoot was probably the only good decision Jordan made as the Hornets owner.
Form is temporary class is forever
How kind of him to finally get something right when the Blazers have the third pick
Selling the team is #1
And the draft thread was filled with “Jordan’s last crime” or shit like that. Not only that, the press was kinda against that too.
Good for him to prove then wrong.
Lol you can count scoots good games on 1 hand. Miller has been amazing this year. Scoot is a bust
One bad game? He had one good game.
Whats funny about Scoot is i dont really see that many blazers fans super high on him lol. Like he still has potential obviously but hes far from consistent. Miller is obviously pretty inconsistent too but he can at least shoot the shit out of the ball.
Jalen green was crucified for way less
Dude is cheeks.
lol 4 game sample size. Take away his big 31 point game he’s averaging 13 and all of a sudden the narrative changed. Can’t base anything off a small sample size.
yes, take away players good performances & they’ll look worse. is this a surprise?
Yeah you take away the obvious outlier and suddenly you see a more representative look
Then why was he so good in game 2? And had a good game 3 too
Nah, that’s not fair, Scoot isn’t a bust.
Miller had 14 points and 5 TO with a -24 in the game they got eliminated in.
No but you see it was the playins and against a much worst opponent so it doesn’t matter for some reason.
Magic are up 2-1 against a 1 seed rn btw. Also that is 14 more points than scoot scored today
Spurs are a way better team than the Pistons. And then there’s the obvious point that Hornets were playing the Magic, not the Pistons. I think the Spurs are maybe better than the Magic.
Scoot scored 18, 31 and 21 in the other 3 games. I’m bad at math so can you tell me how much more Miller scored than each of those ?
https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401810552.
Scoot is maybe the sixth best player on his team lol. Deni, Sharpe, Clingan, Holiday, Grant and then maybe Scoot.
Regular season ain’t the playoffs lol. And you seemed to have forgotten to do the math for me. Can you please so that now? You can also add is playoff 31 better or worse than 26 in the regular season 🤓
Scoot scored the most points for the Blazers over the first 3 games on 70%TS. He’s also in his 3rd season and first playoff series. 6th best player 🤣
Yea he got hot for a few games. Happens every year with role player guards.
Reminder that its totally normal for guards to take a season or two to figure out the NBA game in the modern era.
Big wings that can shoot always adapt faster.
Harper, VJ, Castle, Black, Cade, Edwards, Ball are all top 5-10 guards who were taken that adapted quickly.
You can go into “well this guy had ___” or whatever but here’s what we know.
Scoot is:
Everyone was saying that “guards take a few years” after his first year without just watching what other young guys around him were doing. I’m not giving up on him but we can’t echo cop outs for the kid.
Scoot had a 55% TS this year, obviously a guy like LaMelo with the playmaking makes up for it but he was less efficient than Scoot this year, Scoot’s efficiency for a guard isn’t great but isn’t as bad as you’re acting either.
Like half the guys you listed there had a similar or worse TS% than Scoot this year.
And what’s he done in the playoffs?
Brandon is not good enough for you to run these laps on Scoot fans lmao. They’re both flawed, at least Scoot has had 3 really solid playoff performances.
I mean Scoot in the series has been phenomenal mostly. Miller is a really good player too, and I think in a redraft it’s a toss up of who’s significantly better at this point.
scoot sucks bro, don’t let a couple good games fool you
This might have been a question a year ago but Miller really made a leap in his efficiency. He started the season with an injured shoulder, but his post-all star splits were 45-40-90. I think he’s going to be a star, he just missed a lot of development because of his injury last year
Me and Scoot combined for 0 points
I had the same amount of points on way less playing time.
Peak efficiency
literally for free
Talked shit in game 3 and got smacked all the way out of game 4
Yeah, his game tanked after he talked smack. Maybe he should have waited till his good play lasted more than a few games.
May the tanking of his game continue (for one game, and if it goes longer that’s fine by me too)
Feeling similarly, except it’s all your starters sustaining soft tissue injuries
Lu Dort eyeing acls in WCFs 😮💨
That’s my MVP
Enjoy game 5, it’s the last you’ll see of blazers playoffs for a few years
Talked too soon man. Spurs are serious.
Bro had the audacity to flex and doomed himself to never make a bucket again (hopefully for his entire career, because it’d be an interesting experiment how long it lasts)
They’re obviously good but the fact that the Blazers could potentially be up 3-1 in this series if they didn’t forget how to play basketball for the entire 3rd quarter TWICE shows me the Spurs are definitely vulnerable.
I know they match up well against OKC but the difference in experience and consistency performing in the playoffs will probably be insurmountable there. If the Wolves didn’t just lose their entire starting backcourt and best player for the season I’d pick them over the Spurs too right now, honestly. Denver is in a bit of a malaise right now but if they somehow pull that series out I think they’d have the momentum to beat the Spurs as well.
Other than Wemby, Fox is simply way too nonchalant and inconsistent, while you can still clearly feel the youth/inexperience from Castle and Harper.
“We hope he plays”
As opposed to “we hope he stays injured”
He got into foul trouble early and never really recovered. Obviously brutal game for him, but he’s been a key reason Portland has been in this series. Curious to see how he bounces back in G5
Scoot been our second best player the whole series after Jrue, this one game doesn’t change what he’s showed through the first three games.
I’m way more optimistic about him after these 4 playoff games than heading into it. Crucially for me even when it doesn’t go in, his shot always looks really good now and he doesn’t stop shooting.
[removed]
He a certified bum
Classic game of ‘regression to the mean’.
It amazes me that people still think he has All-Star potential. Dude is Dennis Smith Jr 2.0.
Why did he beat you in game 2 then?
Beat them 3 times in exchange
Sure. Wouldn’t you expect to beat “a bum” every time?
Is your friend, De’Aaron Fox?
Harper is his daddy.
1⁄6 is slightly better than 0/7 haha
Asked Grok and apparently this is true
Making it two games in a row since Scoot had something to say to him
The first of many souls Harper will take in his career
The Linsanity free trial ran out.
That’s good shit haha
Honestly while this was a horrible game for him. I think him showing there really is potential to his game and that he might still be worth investing into is way more of a positive than this game was a negative. I feel like his career really needed the kind of moment that the last 3 games gave him
A not mean Spurs fan, a surprise, and a welcome one to be sure.
Hopefully a couple teams see it that way and we can get more than a bag of Doritos back for him.
Oh Lord yall aint gotta dump on Scoot, man.
I unironically still believe in him and Bryce Young.
Bryce just made a playoffs in a good bounce back year for him, I think most people believe in him now. He finally got a real wr1 which unlocked him.
He needs to keep the momentum because they turn on him super easy. But I agree he’s up right now.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually have more faith in Bryce Young. He did alright this year.
I’m a huge Bryce believer. I refuse to sell my stock lol
If I were a blazers fan I’d feel good about what Scoot has done these playoffs
i don’t. i’d rather have 2 15-point games than a 30 piece and a goose egg. maybe that’s just me
two 15s and you don’t take a game. Underdogs need variance sometimes. but I understand the sentiment
How about a 30 point, an 18 point, a 23 point as well? He had a bad game, he’s young and inexperienced playing in a team vastly under matched in talent compared to the other one, it can happen
That is fair
I’m okay with it. He had an awful game tonight, but he’s shown he can be a net positive. He still has a long way to go though.
Poop Henderson
Scoot and Harper deciding to suck this game after going at each other last game lol 🤝
He’ll be alright but shitter of a game
Let em know, Scoot
Back to the mean
It wasn’t really disastrous if you watched the game. He played good defense, all his shots were early in the game and then he never had the ball again in the third and fourth quarters. The Blazers lost because of all the turnovers in the fourth and none of them were Scoot’s fault
I wonder if it had anything to do with the 7’5” alien standing near the basket guarding the rim
Scoot just like me fr
LMAO straight punked by Dylan Harper. hope that tech was worth it
That was the softest tech I’ve ever seen called in the playoffs.
3/2/1 on 1⁄6 shooting.
Yeh, he really showed him.
we all know you misunderstood that comment on purpose
Again, I’m so glad to be not Oklahoman.
I always find it add that people assume a supporter of the team must be from there. It’s a globally watched, sport aha. There’s a very good chance they’re not even from America.
And if you’re from the States, I wouldn’t be bringing up education tbh
Still glad to be not Oklahoman. That’s the end of it.
He was great all three games and does this in arguably the most important one
“I’m like that!”
Hasn’t been the same since the tech last game. He’ll bounce back next game.
“We hope he plays. We hope he’s healthy, so we can go out there and compete”
Actual quote from Scoot 3 days ago
How dare he have a bad game after.. saying what any player should say about injuries?
I would agree with you if it wasn’t Scoot Henderson we’re talking about. But it is.
very persuasive
🔥🔥🔥 i always believed in him. he’s way too good ELITE PLAYMAKER 🔥🔥 this how ppl sounded after 1 good game where Wemby got injured
And what do you sound like after one bad game? How many cringe emojis?
i have a brain so i dont go stephen a smith on players based on one game
He’s had 3 good games. 1 great game.
Toxic hate culture on this sub is pathetic.
didn’t know being realistic about a player is toxic hate. Gotcha
So he’s only had one good game this playoffs? Game 1 and 3 were bad games?
Back to reality Poot
Dont Forget the 6 TO
Law of Averages finally in effect.
Jrue wasn’t great down the wire either.
He was 10/10/8 short of his first playoff triple-double
Bust
Scat Henderson
Scoot???????
Brutal Sc00t
Dylan put the fear of God in that boy.
The Scoot experience
What getting punked by a rookie does to a mf
Stat line is rough as hell, he is poor men’s jalen green
Not everyone is Jaden McDaniels
Scoot Hendersoff
Scoot was awful. Clingan was even worse. He’s genuinely an AWFUL center if he is against somebody good. Clingan shouldn’t touch the court against this Spurs team but some reason he did.
Harper didn’t have a spectacular game either
Yikes
Scoot has not been the same since he allowed a rookie (Harper) to get in his head and got that technical.
Going back to being the bust that he is
Saying “down the stretch” is a stretch. The started the second half ice cold.
I too, could not score like Scoot. Put me in coach!
who?
Knicks trying to trade all their firsts for him.
Bro not even a free throw? How you put up a butthole in a playoff game?
Cheeks
How can you drop an egg after going for 18, 21, 31 points the first 3 games lol.
Aura points deducted.
Wemby had 7 block, as someone who didn’t see the game, i know Wemby blocked Scoot all 7 times.
Harper Jr is not feeling well today
He’s been bad this series, I wonder if he’s still not 100% since coming back from injury
you’re a bit……. strange
I thought this guy was a generational guard prospect smh. Boy, was I wrong. I know he’s been playing well recently, prior to this, but still not close to what was expected when he was drafted.
Remember that some people wanted to draft him over Victor.
Bring back that last thread where people were proclaiming he’s shed the bust label
crazy to think some people might celebrate him having a bad game
Scoot “the Poop” Henderson
p00p Henderson
This is still a promising first playoff series for the young man, hope he builds on it next year
Him and Sharpe are straight buns lol Blazers rebuild would be a huge failure if it wasn’t for the Deni trade
i think sharpe is fine tbh
man just came back from an injury
They were saying he was here for real and that we should be worried lmao
Thats what happens when you play the game the right way
