    Batum is looking like late-career Tayshaun Prince.

    His PER will dip into the single-digits if he stays in this slump - and he has the ball in his hands A LOT.

    6 points, 0-5 from 3. And they were open, 3s, not the contested variety that Dame and Matthews have to put up from time to time. Can't believe some idiots are continuing to defend him.

    That's actually an accurate comp - Raptors Hedo Turkoglu: 11/5/4 with a 13 PER.

    I never really understood what a "glue guy" means. Is a player that rarely shoots and just passes the ball? Well I'd be fine with that as long as he made a high percentage.

    And you are aware his contract is up the year after we sign all our players right? We should be over cap when we have to sign him.

    Letting him walk only gives us a roster space

    If we were to trade Batum, I wonder if Toronto would do a Batum+Wright for Ross+fields+Hayes deal.

    "After the PRP injection in my knee, everything is coming up short." -- Nicolas Batum

    TIL that PRP is the periodic table symbol for lead.

    He pretty much stunk the court up last night. At some point he has got to have a good game. At least you would think so?

    ridiculous comment by Nic, how bout stayin after practice and shooting several hundred 3's like many other guys have done to get the shot back, that's what I want to hear him doing - not some stupid comment about PRP

    Or take more time off to heal, rest, and relax. Let Crabbe start in his spot and go on another win streak! :devilwink:

    He's clearly hurting the team with his play right now. Some of the blame need to go to Stotts for giving him 35 minutes, when he's struggling to make any sort of contribution.

    We should be going with smaller, 3 guard lineups until he can prove he can be trusted with starter's minutes.

    Maybe you shouldn't go for benching a starter just yet? I mean they did just have a 9 game win streak and lost only to the best team in the league right?
    I kinda think there is a little overreaction on this thread. He had a bad game last night but he played pretty well the game before and i'm willing to bet he plays pretty well on Sunday. Going with the Bench Move at this point is a little ridiculous don't you think?

    I think so as well unless this continues for 2 or more games. But hey, what do you expect? There were a lot of people who wanted to cut Crabbe just last year.

    I have no problem resting him so he can heal and get his knee stronger, the way he has been playing is not helping the team, so get him well and give him at least a few weeks off - better doing this then having him subpar all yr
