    Is this a good thing with the way Batum's been shooting?

    Batum has been questionable in every game he's played this season.

    We're 4-0 when Crabbe starts. We'll need Batum's defense in playoffs.

    So what is the issue? Sore head, neck, or wrists? I thought he broke his wrist when I first saw it.

    He can't move his arm or knee. The range of motion is very stiff

    I wouldn't mind sitting Nic until after the AS break. Give him the next ~2 months to rest and recover, and let Crabbe really find his groove so that he's ready to be a major contributor in the POs. Then after the AS break bring Nic back and work him into game shape so he's 100% for the POs.

    That would be a very "Pops" thing to do so Stotts would never do it.

    Sanders suspended 1 game for pushing Nic in midair. Dangerous thing to do, could have been much, much worse

    I agree. Batum looks gassed. Give him a 2 month rest and develop Crabbe.

    Larry Sanders has been suspended one game for that foul on Batum.

    It was a dirty play by Sanders, glad he was suspended. Batum and Kaman should take this road trip off, and hope it resets them from the funk they've been in.

    Kaman needs to play to get out of his funk. Batum.......... could use some rest.
