    With the way he has been playing lately? Do you think he is stepping his game up since Travis left?

    Batum was always better than Travis. Travis made him self forgettable.

    Batum is not one-dimensional. Outlaw..... is.

    It's too early to tell, but he's doing a good job so far. With Webster's struggles, it would almost be better to have Travis than Webster, but that's not how it works.

    And even if Batum were one-dimensional, i'd still take the one-dimensional defender over the one-dimensional....Outlaw :confused:

    from day 1 Nic was the best Blazer SF. I'm recalling back and forths with some here just a month back saying that Martell had cemented the 3 spot as his and Nic would have to scrap for any minutes. My how things change eh?

    I don't remember, was I one of those people? lol

    I don't think I was.... I think I've supported Batum as our starter, but I had held out hope that Webster could be a solid rotation player.

    I don't think I've ever seen this community so in favor of a Blazer. Everyone loves Nic.

    Except for maybe B-Roy and MIXUM, but it's close.

    you think it would be better to have the guy who's best play for his entire career has been off the bench backing up the clear cut starter rather then the guy who has consistently struggled off the bench???

    I've been a broken record on that point all season

    I don't think you were either, but I could look it up if you like :)

    actually I'm off to the GF's place so that sort of fun would have to wait until tomorrow

    Batum is the guy we all dreamed Outlaw would be five years ago.
