You're trying too hard. Slow down, let the hate flooooooooooow through you.

I can't wait for some of you to start bitching as soon as Wes doesn't make 6 3pt shots in a game.

"He sucks!" "He's hurting his shooting %" "Why does he keep shooting when he's off?!?"

I don't hate Batum, I just think he's way over-paid, and it sucks to have a SF that can't shoot.

Good thing our GM doesn't think like you

How do you know? Olshey didn't sign Batum.

Because he's a Blazer. Well duh!

He matched on Batum so he did sign him

Re: GAME THREAD: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 30, 2014 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST),

Batum seems to be getting worse every year. He's always been a quite player, but he used to at least be efficient, and every 5 or 6 games he'd have 20+ points and really come alive. Now he just sucks.

Oh nevermind, didn't realize Neil had been here that long. Anyway, it would have been better for Portland if they hadn't. They could get a much better player for that dough. I told him not to sign Batum but he didn't listen to me.

Re: GAME THREAD: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 30, 2014 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST),

I think Batum is burning himself out playing summer ball in France every year. He's never taken a summer off that I know of since we drafted him. That's just a theory though. Obviously that's a long distance theory.

Thank you for volunteering to look at his stats after playing for France compared to the years when he doesn't!

Did he ever take a summer off? I don't think so

I agree with this, he used to be a much more effective and consistent scorer. Just check basketball reference.

If you are thinking about your shooting, you aren't shooting.

Start Crabbe and let Batum rest or heal or do whatever he needs to do to get himself back into the game at 100%.

Re: GAME THREAD: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 30, 2014 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST),

He just needs one or two good shooting games to get his confidence back.

He said something about the injury affecting his game after the loss to Memphis. So far, he's having his worst shooting season of his career.

Wesley Matthews is the fourth NBA player to ever record 3 straight games with 6+ 3-pointers (J.R. Smith, Mike Miller, George McCloud).

Fuel to the fire and yet another reason to hate Harden. Wes should be getting more recognition as a top SG and instead a flopping fuck like Harden is getting all of the wrong kind of attention.

Wes is a coaches dream player. He just goes to work and doesn't need any praise at all. He sets the tone for the chemstry this team has. Nico is an intelligent player. He'll get his offense on track.

How so? They all think about their shooting. He's realizing he's been terrible. Better than not owning up to it and saying status quo BS.
