The game was lost when Batum decided to play

we need a wing to sub for Nic badly, he just is not a scoring threat at all!

 

[PDXFonz]

Yeah, but how long in the cage until the lion loses all will to fight?

Our lion has lost its claws.

I think Rolo coming back will energize the team and the fans. I hope it is not far off!

Uh, as bad as Batum has been - him not playing would mean MORE Barton or CJ or Wright. Bad Batum is still better than that shit. Which is why Neil has to make a move.

So what do we with Batum? Play him and see if he's on or not, and if he's not then sit him for long stretches? Or make him play thru it? Either way, he's not gaining any confidence in his play.

 

[Scalma]

Olshey needs to get us a wing like yesterday.

It's our guard and especially wing play recently that is killing us IMO

get Neil to get a fukkin quality sub so Nic can rest and heal

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Dame's shooting is killing the team right now.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Gave up 36 points on 71% shooting in the 4th. Jesus, so much for owning the 4th quarter.

repped to the FUKKIN MAX

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I feel bad about Batum, I can't really berate him because he is truly playing through the pain and he is still our best option at the 3 with only one arm.

We desperately need someone though, ANYONE who can come in, play solid D and shoot 3s... sounds like Crabbe... Stotts???

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Season over!

Maybe they thought they were supposed to get owned in the 4th cause that would explain it

I'm really fucking tired of Nic and this fucking hero ball he thinks he's doing right now. He's a fucking joke, posting shitty ass numbers and getting burned on defense. Over rated until he proves otherwise! Pisses me the fuck off!

This is a trickle effect because Batum's man can leave him wide open to help

agree he's hurt and not helpin at all out there, we need someone to take the pressure off so he can rest - Neal are U really A C T I V E?

 

[kingslayer]

Man if Meyers was in that same spot where Batum took that 3, it probably would have went in. Nico playing hobbled is gonna continue to kill us.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I don't feel bad for Batum at all. Fuck that. He's the second highest paid player on the team.

 

[Blazinaway]

I keep thinking about LMA and this summer if this "slide" continues, he's ballin like he has never balled

 

[Scalma]

If anyone was playing hero ball tonight it was wes. He forces things too much late in games. If olshey doesn't get us a wing, it's a fireable offense and I mean that.

 

[Scalma]

Barton over Crabbe feels like a running April fools joke.

 

[magnifier661]

I don't feel bad for Batum at all. Fuck that. He's the second highest paid player on the team.

Exactly!!!! If you can't produce, then rest the fuck up! This says more about Aldridge and being a bad mother fucker! He and Matthews are the only two players I see able to play through pain.

If he goes to San Antonio, I'm done wasting my time on sports.

If Wes wants 13-15 mill this offseason then adios, he's good and I like him but he just ain't worth that

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Would be this be the wrong time to point out that if we could've traded our 2013 #10 for the Hawks' 17 and 18 we could've had Schroder and either Gobert or Dieng? Cuz I believe I suggested this at the time. But at least CJ's not a dirty foreigner.

What do you want from a guy whose best attributes are shooting and passing but only has one hand worth a damn? He is gutting it out for us, he is sucking but I'm not gonna sit here and say he isn't trying.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Batum shot better than Lillard and Matthews tonight... Just saying.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If he goes to San Antonio, I'm done wasting my time on sports.

Wouldn't that mean he'd've done you a favor?

 

[Blazinaway]

LMAO

so what, he was the best of the bad?

 

[Scalma]

I hope Neil was just hyping up mccollum to other teams when he said last week that he's "going to be a tremendous player".
