lol you really want Scottie handling the ball at PG?

Who cares who brings it up. IQ NEEDS to get off the ball right away if he has nothing cause he can't generate offense for himself or others nearly well well enough. This Scottie dribble stuff is so lame and played out.


lol in what way? Can he break anyone down off the dribble? Create an advantage for himself or someone else?

I swear people don’t watch games.

Cole Anthony played well and hit some shots. Just because a guy he’s matched up with hits shots doesn’t mean it necessarily was because IQ played bad.

IQ is a good playmaker and protects the ball very well, and tonight was one of the only guys who could break guys down and make a play. He literally just missed free throws or else it would’ve been a great instead of just good night.

Overall - early IQ returns de promising. Hes played quite well and that’s with his main skill (shooting) being bad.

Also lol at IQ can’t finish. The guy is like shooing 70% on 2’s this year lol
You're not taking into consideration at all how awful he was late. It.wasnt just free throws...

Guarantee he hits those 2 free throws and there isn’t a single complaint here.

He wasn’t “awful”.

He wasn't good defensively down the stretch but these are NBA players. If they get a rhythm and confidence, they can be difficult to stop. Anthony is a guy that can get going like that in those circumstances.

IQ, and Ingram, were literally the only 2 creating anything.

I don’t know where this “IQ can’t generate offense” narrative comes from but the eye test (and the stats) just don’t support it.

He’s the only one who was getting to the rim and drawing fouls and making good passes tonight.

Scottie wasn’t doing a damn thing. I don’t know how you watched it and thought “yeah, we need more of that”.

I mean Scottie flexing on Giannis and finishing with a mid stat line while Giannis carries his team to a W is why I really don’t like his attitude. He played on a stacked team in high school and can get away with that but now that he’s the man his bark doesn’t match his bite. Tired of it. Get serious, stop whining and quitting on plays and showboating you haven’t won anything.

Yeah to me that summed up Scottie pretty well. Gets way to emotional and it negatively effects him. After that play he tried to just keep force a drive on Giannis and got nothing.

Then he seemed invisible again and floated for the rest of the game. Way to high of highs, way to low of lows. Guy needs to learn to just be steady.

Yeah, there's a lot to be positive about from him 2 games in. The threes will eventually fall.

That game was a chore to watch.

We made Bucks look like a great defensive team with all the passes we through away.

I didn't mind him doing that because Giannis did it first, but you can't follow that up with what he did the rest of the game.

yes he was... Bricked a layup point blank too.

He could have hit those free throws and still been a big reason we lost. :)

Negative spacing and inept defenders will do that to a starting 5.

Someone give me a quick rundown on the game. Couldn't watch it.

Bucks don't seem terribly impressive from a quick glance and appear beatable.
