Would u say Wes and Batum are overrated defenders?

Seems like they get eaten alive lately by star players and quick guards. I thought they were always known as solid defenders. They aren't even close to elite or lock down guys.

Idk these last few games have been very sobering to me as a fan.

 

I'd hate to see what you are like drunk on this team.

You might actually say a back hand compliment.

 

If it will make you and your unrelenting negativity go away, yes.

I don't mind people pointing out weaknesses but when realistically all they do is disparage the team, I'd rather you went away.

Of course, someone is apt to point out that I just "fed the troll".

Gramps...

 

Just saying we are suppose to have good defensive wings and center yet we stink on defense... Besides lillard what's the prob?

 

I think Wes is more overrated in this area than Batum. Batum just coasts sometimes. They are both much better than average though.

 

They are both pretty good defenders. NBA players are elite. Combine that with the rules that favor offense, and no one shuts down an elite NBA player. If you are waiting for Wes or Nico to hold anyone scoreless, you will be disappointed.

Next to Lillard and Mo Williams, they look like they belong on the all defensive team. Out of our five starters, I'd say Wes and Nico are best defenders we have.

Keep in mind too that, despite all the lip service Stotts gives to defense, he values offense more. I think it's just too difficult to focus on both offense and defense playing starters minutes. When Wes or Nico is given the assignment to forget offense and focus on defense, they are pretty darn effective.

 

So this isn't a legit question? This forum cannot take critisism or hard questions.

 

Guys, please stop responding to his posts. He's doing this on purpose.

 

Not without some evidence. Step up your game or GTFO.

 

Remember when I told you guys mixum would come back? Don't say I didn't warn you. He is a cancer that will not change and will eat this forum until he destroys it.

Keep him here for all I care. I'm choosing to just ignore this guy. I know this isn't technically breaking the rules, but we all know the intent. The sooner he's gone, the easier this forum will have sensible debates.

 

It's the reputation you built. Don't blame us for what you created.

 

"Fan," lol...

 

Okay the "sensible" was the wrong word! Lol

 

Just like he's never coming back as a troll? I remember hearing that too
