    He was already inconsistent with his confidence. I hope this doesn't break him.

    A twenty-year old in a country half-way around the world, where he doesn't speak the language, and making millions. I think he's doing fine!

    Unbelievable - he missed an entire season with a stress fracture?

    There are some that say Blazers posters on this board will complain about anything that happens to the Blazers good or bad.

    On the flip side, there are some Blazers posters that will never see any news as being negative.

    A lot of times Batum plays D against the other teams best player. So he's considered to be playing the PG, SG, SF, position then? That is being kept track of during a game? When he scores he's playing that position as well, so if he is guarding a PG then he's scoring from the PG position too, or by who's guarding him?

    Bad news, but we're 34-20 without him and anything we got out of Martell this season would've been considered a bonus I think. His addition next year will be like adding a free agent.

    If who you're guarding defines your position, I saw a play last night where LA guarded both a Center and a PG....

    Posters define player positions in a variety of ways. Height, offensive style of play (playmaker, wing, hi/low post), who they defend... quite a few spats here are over this sort of stuff.
