Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Master batum

mabey its me, but when nick gets a hand up in the other guys face as he is taking a shot they almost always miss.  it is some nice d.  i dont know if he is blocking the guys sight , tipping the ball ( he gets alot of blocks).  its Nice.  ok tonite it is official sebastion telfair is better than sergio and steve blake.  i would like to see more minutes for sergio like 15 at least but it sucks giving in to a crybaby with a bad attitude.  i cant wait for martell to get back. right now we have noone taking it to the hoop and im low on my dunk count. im confident nick and martell can fix that problem. id like to see nick take a few runs on the rim.

I said it in another thread

Outlaw had 3 more rebounds than Batum. Supposedly, his rebounding was one of the reasons to have Batum in as a starter. Obviously, it’s not working and he should be benched. Outlaw should start, split the back ups SF minutes between Roy and Rudy and give the extra point guard minutes to Sergio. Once Webster comes back, trade Batum for a box of used Kleenex.

Batum may be starting, but Batum is getting less minutes

reb’s per 48 would be most useful but I don’t know the numbers on that… Batum’s blocks per 48 have got to be double or triple outlaw’s though, and his defense is easily 200% of Outlaws.

None of this means Outlaw is a BAD player though.

He doesn't "look French".

Batum should not be benched

Has it not been made clear that the whole reason that Batum is starting is that Nate wants to keep the 2nd unit intact. Obviously, when Webster returns Batum’s minutes are going to suffer, not Outlaw’s. Webster will join the starting line up, but we won’t have a traditional demotion of Batum. Batum will reverse leapfrog Outlaw in the depth chart.

smile, your on a poster

unfortunately i can see batum

getting benched a lot when webster comes back

Me too

But I think this early season dip the in the deepend will speed his development and he is more than holding his own for a kid who expected to spend the year in Idaho and finds himself starting In the NBA

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
