    My friend took his daughter to this game; it was her first game ever. She became a fan for life because of Nic Batum.

    Just when Nic was getting comfortable comprehending english here, now he'll have to learn to understand a southern accent

    I'll miss Nick. He was fun to watch when he was on. His all round game was underrated.

    Dear Batum, you were the first Small Forward worth a damn in my fandom to the Blazers. Most of your career you were standing in the corner at the end you were not standing in the corner as much.

    The End.

    Not standing in the corner as much? He led the league in miles traveled on the court. Plus he was the no. 1 facilitator of our offense.

    Hope he ends up with the Spurs someday.

    Starting to hope Aldridge ends up with the Hornets.

    I think he will have a very good year in his contract year. There, is that nice enough? :emotions:

    I can see how you'd say that, because he had his worst year after he was signed to his last big contract. Oh wait, no he didn't - he had his two best years in a row.

    He could win in Nola. AD and him would terrify the league

    The Hornets are Charlotte again. Nola is the Pelicans.
