    Nic's FG% on the season is down to 41% now, 35% from 3pt range.

    Batum continues to baffle us all

    12 FGA

    8 of them were 3's

    IS IT STILL NATE'S FAULT?

    He's shooting like shit, too.

    The Kings are around .300 and we're .500. They were missing their top PER player, starting center Cousins. We were missing our starting SG Matthews. We should have won. They were 15 ahead in most of the 4th quarter, cruising in Easy Gear.

    Stotts expected to win, so the bench played extra minutes in the 1st half, so Outlaw came in and dominated them in the 2nd quarter. Travis Outlaw > our bench.

    I would still take Outlaw. Still not sure why many Blazer fans disliked Travis because he "shot too much". That was his role. We could use someone off the bench that can create his own shot.

    I don't get why you are still on this. Many people have pointed it already. Nico's problem with Nate was the fact he sat in a corner waiting for the 3 ball. His game has evolved a lot in a small amount of time. He moves without the ball a lot more instead of the old "run from one corner past LA towards the other corner" and initiates the offense a lot of times. His 3's aren't coming from him standing there waiting for the ball but moving to open positions to get it.

    ^ Because he has nothing but hate for Nic no matter what....... its the only thing he posts about on here. He tried killing us all last spring and summer for supporting the re-signing of Nic. Was nowhere to be found until this past 2 weeks during Batum's "struggles".

    Nic's touch isn't there right now and I'd like to see him post up a little bit more, but 7-7 from the stripe and 8 dimes isn't too bad. Tonight's loss wasn't about Nicolas missing some 3s.

    We lost because we weren't aggressive enough, our defense was weak and the Kings were hitting shots they normally don't make.

    I would also like to see him post up more. Doesn't have the body to bang anybody, but the reach is there. If he could learn an up and under move like Duncan or a fadeaway J down low he would be tough to stop.

    Batum is creating offense like never before Stotts. Look at how Batum's assist have skyrocketed the last few games. He is setting people up all over the floor. And he's had great hockey assists that don't show up in the box score. I'm loving watching Batum play.

    What is the difference between creating your shots and taking many unassisted shots? An article from 11 months ago about Kings chemistry:

    What it comes down to is he relies on the 3pt shot way too much. It's that simple.

    I heard it was Nate's fault, but here he is a year later, still shooting a TON of 3's.

    It's past time for him to develop a game to the basket.

    I never "killed" anyone for supporting the re-signing of Nic. Nice try, liar. I've also been here all season.

    Continue being a clown and making shit up to make yourself feel better.

    At no point have I been proven wrong about Nic.
