    I need to pick up a Batum jersey. Does the main Blazer store at A6-A7 have his jersey yet?

    I don't know if he's the SF of the future. It depends on what deals come down the pike. But clearly, KP wants to hang onto him unless something really stellar becomes possible. He's not yet in the untouchable category of Roy, Aldridge and Oden, but like Rudy, probably he's do not touch unless it's for someone fabulous.

    I love his defense - he's slowed some of the games best shooters and hard work.

    He needs to stop jacking up 3s. Some of them are in rhythm, but too many are just hurled in the general direction of the basket with 15 seconds on the shot clock and a player open.

    Don't know if he's the second coming of Pippen, but he could become another Bruce Bowen, defensive stopper who can shoot when needed. Added to the big 3 and Rudy, that's a pretty damn good team.

    I think it is very clear he has all the tools to be an exceptional SF in this league - I believe my words about him after seeing him play live for the first time:

    Other than mis-spelling his name - I still stick to this opinion. This kid is going to be something else.

    No they don't! That really pisses me off. He is a starter and his jersey is nowhere to be found in the store. I have even complained to my rep. I do see it on their online store and when I am at the store they tell me I can go have the jersey made. I don't want a makeshift Batum jersey. I want the real NBA Batum jersey. I forget to mention the reason is because it is my wife who wants it. She has been a Batum fan since the season started.

    The ones they make to order are identical to the pre-made ones (neither are an official NBA jersey, though). Back when I bought my daughter's Batum jersey, I also bought pre-made Rudy jerseys for the twins at the same game. The material, numbers and letters are all the same quality.

    Do you get your 20 percent discount for being a season ticket holder?

    I don't know. I'm not a season ticket holder. We have four 1/4 tickets though. You think that would count for something.
