Wow we winning?! Maybe that loss to Washington lit a fire under our assholes?

It has been great seeing Batum play the way he has the last few games, but I want to see him do this with Aldridge as well. We could become a good to great team if Batum could get at least 15-20 ppg a night. We need this everynight Batum!

He hasn't been playing almost 20 PER type ball with Aldridge on the team with him?

Batum for prez

Felton shooting is just like a turnover, maybe I would actually prefer a turnover...

 

[magnifier661]

Good time out. We were really rushing our half court offense. Need to focus and take this team out early

Felton might as well, since it'd actually put a +1 in a stat.

A turnover would be better, because then Nate would get mad and pull him from the game.

Raymond Felton:

0/4, 1 ast, 2 TO

We sure ended that quarter with a whimper. The offense is starting to stagnate.

Was thinking the same thing. They started smothering Batum and forced the rest of the team make the shot

Good first half.

Unfortunately it's pretty easy to take the ball out of Nic's hands.

Geez, that happens when people you know, double him.

Charles really likes us I guess. I havent been able to watch a TNT broadcasted game for awhile, but I'm shocked to hear him talk highly of us.

You can make him pass just by getting in his face a lot of times. He's not exactly going to break his man down.

Its baffling to me that it took this long for people to realize that Batum was capable of this. Nate included.

I'm convinced it's Nate's general disdain for anything that looks even remotely finesse. Nic tends to be more of a "glider" than a "dive bomber"

Nate wants guys that play like this:

instead Nic plays more like this:

Maybe you haven't been watching the game?

Besides, you can be a good player without being a good 1v1 scorer. But I guess Batum sucks cause he's not Rudy Gay.

 

[magnifier661]

Okay team rock the second half. Let's hope they out a nice smack down

Desperation is starting to set in with you.

I have a question. Why do you hate on Batum? You don't think he's been playing well? You know if he plays well, it just gives us a much better chance of winning.

It's called a meme.

I don't hate Batum.

I've said he's a nice role player. What's wrong with that?

From the sounds of your posts all season, it doesn't sound like you think he should get any minutes. All you do is complain about him.

That's on you for misunderstanding then.

Okay so let me be clear. You actually think Batum is a good player then?

I have maintained that he's a nice role player that I wouldn't mind including in a deal for a really good PG.
