3/2 Blazers vs. Kings Game Thread

He is like Zbo in a lot of ways. But he is way more physical and has way more nasty in his tank then Zbo.

 

ZBO wasn't a dick like this guy though. Zach was actually a really shy cool guy....... just made some bad decisions and hung out with fools.

 

i think its more this classic line....

you can take the thug out of the ghetto but cant take the ghetto of the thug

 

One of my biggest concerns going forward is that teams continue to hide their worst defender on Nic Batum. This absolutely has to stop. Every game, over and over and over they hide their worst defender on them and he never does anything to make them pay, and usually when they do try, he looks pretty bad trying. I would suggest that for a change, this summer, instead of going back to France, that he spend his time with Bill Bayno for the summer. This is getting really old, and I for one, and pretty sick of watching it.

 

^ he's 21.

 

What kind of an excuse is that? Players have rolled into this league and kicked ass at 18 years old. He has been in the league for 3 years. He should have an offensive game by now. What kind of 6'8" player can't post up Steve Nash or Beno Udrih? That is fricking ridiculous.

 

^ EXCUSES

 

What 18 year olds???? Future Hall of Famers right? This cat should be a junior in college and 20 something other teams passed on him before we landed him. There was a reason he wasn;t a top 10 pick. He was a raw athletic project. What type of #'s do you think he should be posting? Why do you think every other team has wanted him in every trade scenario? The scouts know that he will be special some day.

 

I think it's a little odd to complain about Batum's post game. Even guys like Lebron have poor post games. A LOT of big men have poor post games. I don't think it's as easy a skill to learn as some think by saying he should ahve picked itup between games 1 and 3 of last season's playoffs.

 

If LaMarshmallow can learn to be a post demi-god over a summer, it must be easy...
