It's pretty much just one poster. The same guy who made RealGM game threads unreadable with his constant negativity.
Okay people time to blow up the team! We are having an off night. If we win, we will have all the talk about how awesome we are and how great our chemistry is. If we lose, I suspect trade demands, terrible players that shouldn't be starting and mixum feeling all warm and fuzzy inside because we lose.
I have always not been a huge fan of Batum, mainly because of how overrated he was by a lot of people and how he was always "untouchable" in trades. Then I see his play this season, and it has been pretty underwhelming, not a big fan of him.
I understand that. I realize my emotions constantly get the best of me when watching the Blazers. But my stance on Batum still stands, his defense has regressed a lot this season and is not this great offensive player many people thought he would be. He is still young, yes, but so far I don't see much in him that warrants him being untouchable in trades.
I have a running tally in my mind - it is a contest between egame and Mike Barrett at who will be the most unnecessarily dramatic, exasperated and sound like the world is ending during a game. We're about equal so far tonight.
