    I have nothing against Nic the person, it sucks that he's going through a shitty divorce and doesn't seem to have much confidence in his game.

    But I am a Blazer fan, I root for the team and the city. If a player isn't contributing to the success of the team, I want him to either step it up or become a trade asset to bring in a player(s) who will. Nic Batum has always been a talent with skills, but his motor is highly suspect and for every game that he shows his full potential, he has 3 games where he disappears or plays a passive "letting the game come to him". I'm all for glue guys and players who do the unsung dirty work that every team needs, but Batum is not that player. I lobbied for him to be traded when his value was high. I think that there are small forwards in the league who, although they would not have the talent of Batum, would have the "Wes Matthews" drive and determination to give it 100% every damn night. The Blazers should get one of those.

    Early 4th quarter can sometimes be really frustrating like that.

    You might want to take this to one of the many Batum threads..Batum tracker, etc...I'd rather enjoy the game.

    Honestly, if they're not going to play Crabbe, at least give a reason.

    Understand what chris means. He rooted for Portland before Batum and he will still root for the team after Batum. He cares about the success of The Portland Trail Blazers ahead of any one player. In this case, he thinks we could do better than Batum at the SF position. Nothing wrong with that.
