Mostly fewer minutes. His per 36 numbers are down a little, but not that much. He was injured and we have a legit back up center this year, so he's playing almost 4 fewer minutes per game.

The most significant difference is he's not getting to the line as much and not shooting as well once he gets there. Perhaps he's shying away from contact a little to protect his hand.

Yea I noticed that too. He does look slightly weaker from last year. But it's not anything super concerning if anything hopefully this makes him a little cheaper this summer.
 
Should have traded him last year.

Meanwhile Rolo has 13 points midway through the third... Expert reverse jinx.

This is true, all of our starter's trade values were higher at the end of last year than they are now.

I blame Olshey and Obama. Never trust anyone whose last name starts with O.

My son's name is Osias and he's probably the kindest, most generous soul on the planet. ;)
 
Rolo just plays better when Nico is on the court with him..the pick'n Rolo is one of our best weapons

This is true but I am getting pretty tired of the soft and loose passing by Batum. It looks like a focal point for another team when they are scouting us defensively for a series. He really needs to stop being careless.

Dude, Batum's Assist to Turnover ratio is better than Lillards, and much closer to Blake's. If you want to whine and moan, tell Lillard to suck it up.

Not whining and moaning biatch. Lillard (and Blake) handle the ball a lot more than Batum and at least their turnovers happen when they are being aggressive, not floating passes apologetically.

But Nic is a better ball handler than our starting point guard. And I can prove it:

Assist Percentage:

Dame - AST% 29.2
Blake - AST% 26.1
Nic - AST% 20.5

A/T Ratio:

Dame - 486 / 209 = 2.32535
Blake - 275 / 99 = 2.77777
Nic - 325 / 130 = 2.5000

Variance:

Ast% Var -

Nic vs Dame = 29.2 - 20.5 / 20.5 = 42.4% worse
Nic vs Blake = 26.1 - 20.5 / 20.5 = 27.3% worse

A/T Var -

Nic vs Dame - 2.5 - 2.32535 / 2.32535 = 46.23% better
Nic vs Blake - 2.7777 - 2.5 / 2.5 = 11.1% worse

Overall variance in quality:

Nic vs Dame = 46.23 - 42.4 / 42.4 = 9.0% better
Nic vs Blake = 11.1 - 27.3 / 27.3 = 59.3% worse

Nic is a better ball handler than Lillard, but both are way worse than Blake.
 
Based on my 'eyeball test':

Nico throws way more 'great' and thread the needle passes.

Dame (IMO) throws more terrible passes.

Dame certainly 'handles' (i.e. 'dribbles') the ball more than Nico, but Nico is more often the 'setup' man. He passes a lot.

Yeah, stats......they're great if all the surrounding conditions are the same. Damian handles the ball more often, in most of the high pressure situations, and he is the focal point of the defense, other than LMA. What I SEE is Batum making more bad decisions with the ball, not necessarily caused by defensive pressure, and being hesitant a lot of the time. Can't seem to stat it.
 
Somehow, the Rolo thread turned into a Batum thread..I should have known it would!
