Batum not sure if he can play tomorrow against OKC

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I would start Vic, no joke! I like what he can bring to our squad. Been working hard everyday. Give him another chance.

I agree.

Nic has played a handful of games with a fractured finger, what else do you want from the guy? It swelled up against the Rockets and it's not going to heal if he keeps testing it. Nic was a big factor in our win streak even playing injured. He deserves some respect here don't you think?

Maybe he does deserve our respect, I guess some of us are just tainted by the memories of the French giving up so often throughout history. I just figured he would throw in the towel against Dallas and Germany's Dirk Nowitzki.

maybe he should have just sat the bench cause that was ugly

How does a fractured finger affect someone's defensive effort?

Batum 'decided' that he was the 2nd best SF in the league.
He then 'decided' not to show up for the next handful of games.
Hopefully he 'decides' to get over a fracture on his non-shooting hand, like most other NBA players would, and start playing with some tenacity.

You ever try to play defense with one hand?

Batum has had a couple of bad games. He also has a broken finger. I'm cutting him some slack.

Jim Abbot was a baseball player.

Jim Abbot was a baseball player.

Both sports start with the letter B and have the word ball in them.

He was a good pitcher who defended his position well.... in baseball.

The point being he got the job done with 1 arm and without making excuses Batum has a injured finger on his off hand and that makes his piss poor play the last two games okay, NO, NO it does not.

Not only did Kobe continue to score with a broken finger he was also 1st Team All NBA Defense.

What year was the Kobe finger? I don't remember. I can look up stats to just verify.

2009-2010 and then pretty much every year since it has given him issues.
