Felton Isn't the only one under the microscope

“We’ve got guys who are battling with confidence right now,’’ McMillan said. “Like tonight, Nic I thought hesitated on the shot, so let’s get Wesley in. You gotta shoot the ball. So my thing is, it’s really no hesitation to make that substitution if I think you don’t have it, or you can’t get your rhythm, as opposed to earlier (in the season), it was ‘OK. Let them play it out.’ We don’t now. We are going to change. I have to give us the best chance to win.’’

Dude Batum was the least of your worries. How about drawing 6 plays in a row for Crawful to take a shot. That was terrible.

Newsflash Nate! Your rotations and decisions in-game are terrible! Felton should have never been in the game. It should have been Crawful, Batum, Wallace, Aldridge and Camby.

I think it's because he knows he can get away with benching Batum. I don't think Batum would be vocal enough to force Nate to play him. Instead he is massaging the egos of Failton and Crawful.

Probably has something to do with Nic turning down open shots and generally sleep walking through half the game a lot of the time.

Basically he's just not consistently aggressive. It's time for Nic to step up.

You do realize that he is the second highest "PER" player we have on this team? And he's #7 of all SF's in the league in PER.

And his TFG% is 59.8%; which is 8th in all the NBA for SFs.

That's what makes it frustrating to see when he does pass up shots which I felt he did in the last game. He's a little to unselfish at times. If he misses a couple shots he has to keep shooting when open.

Seriously, he always says he doesn't want to call out players by name in the media but does it routinely with Nic.

Fuck you, Nate. He's a better player than you ever were. Stop hating on him.

I agree buddy; but at least he's being productive. I think the mental thing is Nate always treating him like a red headed step child. I think if Nate went to Batum and told him; "Listen I made the decision for you to start at SG; and you get a longer leash; but you have to prove that you will take the shots when we need it"; I think Batum would look to shoot more.

Also, Roy being on this team last season lit a fire under Matthews. Matthews always had the question that Roy would want to take his starting spot. He played harder and performed well. Now Matthews knows his spot is secure. He isn't playing with the sense of urgency like he had last season.
 
He passed up one shot that he should have shot last night.

Crawful should have passed up 15. Felton should have passed up all of his 17.

The double standard Nate has with Crawful and Nic is alarming.
 
Nate killed the confidence of many players. Nic is just the latest in line.
 
Many fans have also championed moving Batum into the starting lineup in place of Matthews, but McMillan seems reluctant to make such a move, implying that fans see Batum's brilliance - the 33-point games and spectacular blocks - but don't see the missed defensive assignments and failed block outs in rebounding.

I'm done with Nate, honestly.

Doesn't take away from the fact he constantly turns down open shots and looks asleep for half the game.

He also has no ability to create his own shot, thus his PER doesn't mean much to me.

Rudy Gay has a 16 PER this season

Am I really supposed to believe Batum is better than Rudy Gay?

lololll
 
Exactly!

Batum is one of the most frustrating Blazers. He plays so soft at times. He needs to play aggressive and show some fire. Nobody is going to get on him for taking shots, but they will get on him for NOT taking shots.

Hey Bigga welcome to S2.
 
Thanks man. Long time lurker. Probably 2-3 years lol. I just had to register and start talkin' ball with the way things are going!

Welcome to S2! Yeah I admit that he does get timid on the offensive end. But he is still the most efficient Blazer we have besides Aldridge. Aldridge can't do it alone and Nate benching him for a few shots, while he allows Crawchuck and Felton miss time and time again is insane.

Thanks man.

You said it right there.

He benches him for a few shots he doesn't take because he appears timid. Where as the others, he keeps them in because they are being aggressive. That's all it is with Batum. If he would just get out of his own damn way and pull the trigger, he won't be pulled.

:clap::clap::clap:

Combine that with not boxing out (see the OKC game) and losing his man on defense (again, see the OKC game) and Nic is just a frustrating player to watch at times.

You feel like he should do more. Instead he seems to continue to sleepwalk and make dummy mistakes.

Batum hesitates. It appears to me Nate has a way of causing certain players to hesitate, think too much, and look over their shoulder, which fucks up their shooting. He just literally said in that quote that Batum gets one mistake then he gets the hook. Nate's an idiot.

BTW: I didn't see Batum hesitating and turning down shots this summer when he was playing in France. He was their go-to player.

IT'S NATE!!!

How is that Nate's fault? He's telling the guy TO SHOOT THE BALL! LaMarcus yells at him to shoot the ball too. If your coach is telling you to shoot the ball or he's going to pull you, how do you not shoot? It's the easiest thing to do.
 
These anti Nate threads and posts coming from some of you over the past week or so are really entertaining

Glad you are amused... Personally, I defended Nate like many before; but I see now that Nate can't coach talent. He's in over his head right now.
 
Why you guys are calling NateBishop3 an idiot?
