That's only a grind for a $3million a year player, a $10million a year player should be going through something a lot harder.
 
Maybe he should try and work on dribbling drills instead of jumping around like a fool
 
Nic and his poor dribbling skills:

If I am Batum, I don't try to work on my weaknesses right now. I try to stay in shape and work on what I do well. He doesn't know for sure what team he is going to or how he will be used in the team's offense or defense. After you sign with a team, have a chance to meet their coaches and know what the plan is you start working on your weaknesses.
 
Definitely showed a lot of skill there LOL

Yeah I could do those three left handed dribbles to get in a wide open lane... Not saying much there. Batum just isn't a good ball handler compared to his other skills.
 
With me comes the truth

You have no credibility here son. You are so one sided about Nic, nobody can take your opinions serious. You have to realize this right? There are pros and cons with every player. If you really do have knowledge of the game, you'd recognize this.

You are all sunshine and rainbows. You've worked with Mike Barrett for so long that it clouds your vision. You refuse to be critical.

You obviously don't read my posts then. I have a positive slant on things, but I am real. For example,I said we would only win 32 games this season in our pre season predictions thread. In the past I have been amazingly realistic with my critiques and posts. I'm not tossing negative shit around every post, but that does not make me blind to realism. Check yourself before you post about me in the future. I beg somebody to find a post by me that isn't realistic. There are quite a few to choose from. You may not agree with me, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility.

You on the other end are completely 1 sided on Nic (can't remember any other things you post about). Like I said, being so unrealistically one sided on a player is foolish. Even if you don't want him on the team, your reasoning is ridiculous. Which in turn leaves your hoop IQ in question.

You summed it up beautifully. :cheers:

I think this prep work is just to get in shape for the Olympics.

Whatever you say Barrett.

I've said from day 1 Nic is a role player on a championship team and is not a 1st, 2nd or even a 3rd option. Tell me how I'm being so unreasonable? You're just mad I'm telling the truth unlike your boy Mike Barrett. It's something you're not used to.
 
Why do I get the feeling I'm watching a Sasha Baren Cohen (Da Ali G) skit when I watch that demo tape of Nic???
 
Whatever you say Barrett.

Really? This is your comeback? I asked you to find me quotes that proves I'm a so called homer. Find some quotes of me not being real. and this is what you come back with?

No, all you do every time you post is crack on our second best player, non stop. When he was our starting 2 and lighting it up, you were nowhere to be found.

What does this even mean. MB is a good friend of mine and what do you mean I'm mad? What would I be mad about?

Find your own quotes.

Want to know why I'm not going to? Because I really don't care.

Well then you obviously haven't been reading my posts, have you? Me saying Nic is a role player on a championship team has been my stance from day 1.

Cold hard truth

And it's not unreasonable.
 
Brother I read your posts and all you do is crack on how bad he is at that and how he can't do this and how shitty he is at that. I'm just saying you toss around some "sunshine and rainbows" bullshit comment ..... I'm telling you I do not post like that and check yourself when you accuse me of it.

Well when he can dribble penetrate, not lose his man on defense multiple times a game, and not lose overall focus consistently...MAYBE you would have something on me. Until then....

You're about as real about the Blazers as Barrett is. Company Man. That should be your name on here.

Mrs Company Man just wouldn't have the same ring to it.

Too bad you don't want to actually talk hoops brother. This is a weak ass post! Move along, you have no cred on here. Save our time, no need to post you lame shit here anymore.

Sounds like something Barrett would say.

Who are you to tell him to stop posting? Get over yourself, stop fighting like little girls.

Umm.. You edited out the part of his post where he was talking hoops.
 
I'm snickering when I post. It's all jokes to me.

HCP seems serious, which actually makes it a little bit funnier to me.
