    You enjoy jacking off to Batum?

    Millsap and Jefferson won't even get Utah to the playoffs playing on the same team, and both are much lesser defenders than LMA.

    This thread isn't about Batum. Everything is about Batum with you.

    Yawn.

    Batum's a role player. Aldridge is supposedly our star.

    I've brought it up in other threads and still ignored. Just wondering why you give batum a pass and all hard on Aldridge?

    That's funny cause Batum isn't getting paid like a role player.

    I bring it up because I think it's stupid to bash one of the two guys that have carried the team this year.

    Batum is the 2nd highest paid player on the team and yet he only has the 4th highest PER in the starting 5.I know how much you guys love PER.

    So yes, I bring it up because it's stupid to bash Aldridge when he is an all-star while Batum isn't playing like the 2nd highest paid player on the team.

    And if Aldridge plays like a pussy, what does Batum play like?

    I thought you were big into advanced stats? Only when convenient?

    Perhaps it might be more productive to start a new thread about Batum.

    So if Batum is not worth his contract, is that a strike against Olshey?

    And if Stotts is still playing starters big minutes, has he quit on the Blazer's future?

    The only reason he's second highest player is because Lillard is on a rookie contract.

    Disregard it all you want, but both you and I know that Batum started this season playing much better than he's played in the past month or so. Batum's are most versatile defender and is big down the stretch of games. The reason he's not playing now like how he started the season? I think you very well know why.

    Arguing about players will get us no where. We should start a thread about how terrible the mods are around here. Now that's something we can all agree about!

    Personally I think this team has overachieved. And while last night's loss stung badly as key teams were losing, the starters on this team have all earned their money this year.

    Now here is my point.... I love batum btw... Batum has shot like fucking shit and plays passive. He is not a role player. He is paid to be a #2 option. Is he the #2 option on this team? No!!!

    Aldridge is paid to be the #1 option. Guess what? He leads the team in points, 2nd in rebounds, 1st in blocks. He is only making 4 million more on an old cba contract (batums contract is Aldridge sized with te new cba) and he's like the 4th option on this team.

    My beef is, "wtf man? Why does batum get a pass?" Aldridge just came back from fucking surgery and the whiners complained at the beginning of the season. Aldridge gets zero passes, yet excuse after excuse for batum. It's fucking Anoying.
