If he doesn't break down it could be great experience. He still has an extra gear that he has not accessed. Maybe leading the French team will help him find it.

One thing Batum did in the playoffs I really liked is he started to create more of the dribble.

 

[RoyToy]

PER under 15 in the playoffs

Just curious, are there any of our players that you do actually like?

Nope that's his gimmick.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Does PER recognize defense, though? Batum is the best defender on the team, IMO one of the best in the league.
Also his unselfishness is his problem, not his efficiency. If we can get him to start dribbling the ball, handling it more, creating more, he would be a Superstar.

just ignore RoyToy about Batum. No matter what he hates him. Batum could post 15 triple doubles in a row and the 16th game when he has a bad game RoyToy would be in here calling him overrated and a waste of a roster spot.

That was rude.

That was rude.

It was but you do seem to hate Batum with a passion.

So RoyToy gets blasted because Batum sucked in the playoffs?

Why is it people can't point out players flaws without fear of being called a troll or not a fan?

Hahahahaha. Batum is so wildly overrated as a defender.

Did Batum suck in the playoffs? You watched the games, tell me what he did you were so disappointed with.

 

[illmatic99]

If Batum is "sucking" in the playoffs while averaging 15/8/5 in 42 mpg, then what is he gonna average if he's "good?"

No one called him a troll or not a fan . . . they say he hates Batum so his analysis of Batum's play really isn't very accurate. I think that is true among a minority of Blazer fans out there, they don't like Batum's game so they see all the negatives and very little of the positives.

Sometimes I feel like every Blazers should have "He Hate Me" on his jersey. Is there any player SOMEONE here does not pick on?

RoLo.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

RoLo.

Hey bro, have you seen the advanced statistics on his p&r defense? And by playoff time he totally let his hair grow into his eyes which was really selfish of him. If his next contract is big enough to allow him to buy a Superman #1 I'll be pissed.

I've never seen him post anything positive about any Blazer player, so it seems a legitimate question to me. And, seriously, you think my asking that question is "blasting" him or saying he's a troll or not a fan? I think there are some people on this board who just love to play the role of never actually supporting anything or anyone so that they can keep that nice safe distance that lets them have that "I'm an objective fan...pity all of you homers" shtick.

i'd like to call him a troll but he actually has a lot to say about other Blazers and most of it usually is good. Just seems to be when it comes to La/Batum, especially Batum, he just posts the same shit about them time and time again because he doesn't like them.
