I refuse to pay Comcast for cable TV and I can't be arsed to find illegal streams of the games most nights so I've only seen maybe 4 or 5 games this year, but somebody 'splain what the fuck happened to Batum?

That's the million dollar question. I won't be concerned about it until March.

Again. -16 in 5 minutes. WTF were you watching?

I just got here so I don't have a torch and pitchfork handy but sense some overreaction..that's my take.

He looks good, but his shots seems a bit short. It's really weird... Everything looks the same and he's assertive. I just can't explain it bro

You're looking at the wrong stat. -16

His defense was sooo bad (the push defense). The blown rebounds were terrible too.

Yeah, he played poorly but every player on this team has done that at one point or another this season. For a guy who hasn't broken a sweat on the court for ages, I think a little patience is in order.

Aside from being 11-deep, I agree.

Is it too soon to worry about Nic's piss poor shooting? Is it just a long slump or is there more to it? I just don't understand how a normally good shooter can shoot this bad for this long.

This reminds me sooo much of when Ariza hurt Fernandez and he was never the same after.

And let's be a bit fair...Kaman was on the floor and also bobbled two of those rebounds. And while I don't like it, you can't expect him bodying up MIrotic 26' from the hoop.

We're past the quarter-pole of the season. I don't think it's something you can just wave your hand at and say, "don't worry, it'll be fine." I mean, it might be fine and get better, but then again it might not.

Gotta tighten defense now

I think it is (too early). It's either a (really) long slump, or there's some sort of minor injury...or a combo of both. Confidence and psychology are HUGE, and the longer the slump continues the more that comes into play. Eventually his shot will come around - you just don't become a bad shooter over night - but I'm not counting on it coming back this month. I'll give it two weeks after the AS break before I'm concerned about our 5th/6th scoring option.

2 bench pts total, Kaman -9, Crabbe -13..I'd say the bench collectively has played poorly
