    I said passing, not shooting. Felton's passes are only 2 feet off target. Batum's come from farther away and are 5 feet off. Neither player gets many turnovers for those bad passes because the receiver recovers, but it ends whatever momentum the play had and resets them to zero.

    It's cause he's not the freaking point guard. You know, the guy who's supposed to be setting everyone else up?

    It's well-known that Felton lacks pinpoint passing skill. I'm just calling to everyone's attention that Batum is the same, yet doesn't know his limits like other big men, and screws up many passes per game.

    That's not true. He has a couple, but he's not in enough situations where he needs to pass off. Most of his passes come from necessity.

    And so what? Batum's not a good passer, great. That's not what he's in there for.

    The thought of pushing play on that interview is unpleasant to say the least.

    Listen to it. It's some of the worst horseshit I've heard in my life. It makes Canzano sound like rainbows and puppies.

    It's true. And passing is a big part of his reputation, now that his rookie reputation for defense is pretty dead.

    I don't know how many people call him a good passer.

    Do you think he honestly believes there are people in the stands that love his game?

    He brings his European reputation here, but his risky passes fail here, so he needs to cool it.

    Operation Tank is going according to plan.

    Any chance of Koach Kaleb actually stop pretending that they're supposed to win these games, and just start benching Felton and Crawford?

    You dwell on that isolated island where the native rubes believe that Felton and Crawford make us win.

    Fairly sure, Roytoy is just being sarcastic.
