Yeah, I'm probably coming across as more stalwart than I actually am. It's impossible to prove almost any theory conclusively in a team sport. (Hell,...
Seriously, good for you. It's common in pop culture to talk about "venting anger," but the truth is it often just seems to reinforce the habit of...
Congratulations! A little parenting tip: Make sure to take one of those mini-basketballs with a Lakers logo and bounce it off their face once a...
My wife and I joke about it some times. The thing we've never been able to figure out is why would you ever turn "whisper mode" off? I mean, how...
Nice floater, and a far better handle than he's ever shown. Plus he was able to do a lot of it without making any sound. He must be able to go into...
Considering we don't even know what the majority of matter in our universe actually is, isn't it a little early to make conclusions about how much...
I didn't argue any of those chumps would be stars, but I certainly didn't think they'd be chumps. I was pretty guilty of overvaluing our players...
Nah, we're just kidding. Andalusian covered some points I was going to make (and came up with a few I hadn't thought of. Always nice when somebody...
Yeah, you're probably right. It's easy to extrapolate to much from a pretty small sample size. Especially right after he had an off-game.
Overall, it seems like this tournament has gone a lot like last season. In low pressure games, he performs competently and has flashes that show you...
Batum airballs a three to end the game. :(
Batum gets blocked. Batum overplayed a steal attempt. Ball swings for the open Belgian for the bucket. Not a good sequence here at the end for our...
Belgium's offense is fuck ugly now.
Batum's been playing really good defense. They've got him guarding the other team's PG. He can't seem to get much going on offense. Kind of reminds...
Man, I don't know why this thread isn't more active. This game is a hell of a lot more fun and competitive than Summer League, and it's actually...
Mbenga is looking pretty good. I like how Batum never dominates the ball. He drives, he shoots or he passes. He never just holds it or dribbles.
One of the announcers just said "Spiderman!" in a French accent when Batum pulled off a nasty block. I like it.
Ok, I just thought up an exception: Channing Frye. Had a PER of 18.1 as a rookie and never got above 14.8 here. I really think he'll continue to...
Well, Randolph did really well here (by the standards of PER, at least--his last year he was at 22.8) and didn't exactly bomb but did do much worse...
Batum is a lot longer, but yeah, I can see that. That's probably his baseline, and I can definitely be satisfied with that.
