    Maybe, but I am the last person to post shit as if it was gospel. I may give my opinion on here, but how much basketball knowledge does this person really claim to have if he says this. Would love to know how many times he has seen Nic play.

    I didn't watch many games lately and I actualy remember a very dismal defensive-effort against Luol Deng earlier this year but there's no doubt in my mind that Batum is MUCH, MUCH closer to top-5 defender in the league than Bottom 5. I agree with HCP, this is a joke.

    You have to pay to read Synergy Sports. How do we know the tweeter didn't make this up.

    If McMillan is smart, he'll use this as a motivator.

    Maybe this is someone's 'payback' for Batum supposedly saying Rose (or maybe it was another player?) can't play defense? :dunno:

    Synergy Sports is legit, but... without more info, it's tough to take that tweet seriously.

    I don't think that anyone really thinks that Batum is one of the worst defenders in the NBA.
