Actually Batum has asked out of a game when the pain got too great. He can only sit if the Coach lets him though.

Um, no. If it's unclear, I give you Scottie Pippen in the 1994 playoffs. The coach can't make anyone go in if they don't want to.

Now I confused? People are saying Batum should sit and disobey his coach? Because that is what Scottie did. And then you say Batum won't get shit from the fans? This is a joke lately.
 
Nic and Wes: 28 min, 5pts, 2/9 FG, 3 reb, 4 asts, 6 TO

Not gonna cut it

Batum is crapped on just for being Batum (french) even when he is playing well.

No. I'll grant that he's crapped on anytime he gives someone the slightest chance to (and this year there've been a lot of those), but I can't name one Batum hater who would yell at Nic for sitting while injured.

Now, being injured b/c he played in France this summer? Maybe. But not for sitting b/c he's injured. Which he obviously is.

Why would he get shit? We see he's playing like shit, so why would we give him shit for doing what's best for the team?

Why wouldn't they be? When has any Blazer been crapped on for being injured?!

I reckon players have been criticised before. I'm not going searching for post during the game though.
 
Wes doesn't get any shit lately (to the extent that he should) and he has been dog shit just like Lillard and Batum.

No, I'm saying that when RoLo broke his hand, he sat. Stotts can't say "get your ass in there". When Freeland hurt his "I'll be good in 2 weeks" shoulder, Stotts can't say "get back in there". If Batum said "I can't shoot" (wait, he did) then Stott's can't say "I don't care, play, asshole".

And NONE of those players were trashed for being injured.

You better believe I am going to give shit to a player he goes against his coach (even if he probably should have). That player should be suspended immediately. This is all a joke lately and we are getting nowhere though so time to let it go. We can't make the change happen that should happen so no reason to waist our energy on it.

Big difference. Training Staff declared those players not fit to play. Apparently they haven't done that with Nic even though they should.
 
The Bucks right now are are like a team of 5 Batums. Turnover after turnover
