    That team wasn't even a playoff team and was losing to everyone. We recently beat Washington and nearly beat the two hottest teams in the league.

    I still don't understand. It's not Batum's choice that he's injured. It's not Batum's choice that he's playing. Unless you think Batum's not trying to play well, what more do you expect him to try to do?

    Firstly, I don't believe that people would be OK at all. Secondly, Stotts knows Batum can't shoot well, and has still decided to play him. This is on Stotts not Batum.

    It's more the fact that he doesn't reward players with consistent time. And keeps starting Batum when it's CLEAR... CLEAR he's a liability. The coach is supposed to do what's best for the team, and he isn't. Not even close. He doesn't have a say in the GM stuff, so I can't blame that... but all this... yes.

    It IS batum's choice to play. AND it's BOTH their faults. Not one or the other. End of story.

    Batum is crapped on just for being Batum (french) even when he is playing well.

    Actually Batum has asked out of a game when the pain got too great. He can only sit if the Coach lets him though.

    Can we get to 40 by the half? I think so. I don't know if we can still hold them under 50.

    I never never would have guessed that Lillard would have a slump like this. I know he will bust out of it. I just never would have thought it would be this long.

    Both of their faults. Batum is a grown man, he can say if he can play or not. And stotts should be doing what's best for the team, and he's not.
