Batum 5-12 shooting 14 pts 6 reb 3 ast


Mod can you put a 2015 in the thread title?

 

[PDXFonz]

If we've learned anything through 3 preseason games it is that Anthony Davis is going to win the MVP this season.

Yeah yeah, how many nut punches, though? We want the real stats.

 

[riverman]

So, has Nico found the real Nico again?

Does anyone know the real nico?

Dunno where to put this, so I'll put it here. Two ex-Blazers among the "Top 5 incoming stars" in the Russian League.

Batum unsurprisingly was a dnp cd tonight.

I told you, NPL/NPA is gonna be a stat! That's why he was benched. He was 0/0!

MKG of the Hornets out 6 months

Batum will be high on my fantasy draft board. Contract year, undervalued due to bad previous year, not much competition at his position, and now this?

He should get more playing time but not a lot more. They were already planning on having him at SG not SF.

My comment was directed more at increased responsibilities on both ends moreso than an prediction of increased PT.

 

[Reep]

I guess the Batum trade looks pretty good for them now (maybe). I guess you could argue that if MKG is out for the year then it is a lost year, in which case maybe it would have been better to hold on to Vonleh and Henderson. I feel bad for MKG. He seems like a really great guy and has sure had his share of struggles.

quote of the day, no, no one does rally know

 

[riverman]

TRob got the start in Brooklyn..19 min, 10 pts 9 boards 2 steals, 2 blocks...he came out beasting and it's just first half

 

[Rastapopoulos]

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Jan Vasley is a player.

Robinson is as erratic as ever.

 

[PDXFonz]

Glad to see T-Rob getting play time. Hope he can get some during the regular season.

 

[MickZagger]

One of my favorite players in this past draft, Stanley Johnson was a beast today. 26pts in 33 minutes. He and Bobby Portis were both guys I really wished we could have landed.

Ramond Felton started at point for the Mavs tonight...now I know why Wes got a pay raise to stay

Felton needed a good donut thrower?

 

[riverman]

I see Aaron Afflalo is already sitting out practice with the Knicks with a hamstring problem...we might have dodged a bullet there

 

[PDXFonz]

Looking forward to seeing how Barton plays tomorrow. He's been getting good time recently, might have a future in Denver?

Same with T-Rob. He looked decent the other day, hope he can find a spot in the rotation.

 

[riverman]

I truly want Will, TRob, Blake, Rolo, Wes and Nico to succeed ....did I leave anybody out? Don't think so

No, you didn't.

 

[PDXFonz]

LA starts 1-5, must be a bad jump shooting night for him!

 

[ChadWick]

LMA goes 3/10 with 8 points in 23 minutes in Spurs lost to Kings lol.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Jokic > Nurkić

Jokic gained 15lbs since being drafted and it's showing.
