Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Watching Travis play Miami right now. He looks horribly lost out there. Kinda sad, actually.

He's currently wearing a kind of awkward looking hairdo. Can't tell if he's trying to rock the mohawk, or if he just doesn't grow much hair on the side of his head. Can't believe we got Camby for him and Blake. What a trade that was.

I believe that Nate gets the most out of his players

and I don’t expect anyone that was traded to do a whole lot better on their other teams.

Maybe B-Rex as well

Playing along side Chris Paul, for a coach that is likely to give him a little more freedom, he ought to look a lot better than he did.

When the world knows Nico Batum as "The Inevitable", I'll be very happy with where he is as a player.

I think you might see both(Martell and Rex) their numbers go up

but only because of more minutes. I think that their averages per minute will remain the same.
If I had to pick one to do better, it’d be Martell, just because he was coming back from an injury and that always takes time, even a year. With Bayless, he is surrounded with less talent and will draw more attention from the offense. I don’t see him playing along side CP3 that much, but as his backup, giving Paul rest.

I am not so sure Bayless will see more minutes.

Belinelli and Thornton will take most of the minutes at the SG and Chris Paul plays 40 minutes, not to mention Willie Green might battle for some of those minutes. I don’t think it is a forgone conclusion that Bayless will get more minutes. He is going to have to earn minutes.

22 mins, 0 points. That’s the Travis I remember.

Oh c'mon

Maybe we have selective memories. My recent ones include clutch 15 point outings that saved us in the fourth quarter.

I remember him as "4th quarter Trav".

I remember

your man is over here, Travis—he’s the guy scoring on a put-back because you didn’t box him out

But he's earning 7 mil a year now

So what can I say? That’s out of this world money

when coaching my sons AAU teams

we used to use video of Travis as discussion as why you don’t turn your head on your man while defending him, would get those highlight blocked shot on the weak side because he was chasing his man after he turned his head on them and they broke backdoor to the hoop.

by runanjum on Nov 1, 2010 7:53 AM PDT up reply actions  

yeah there’s no doubt Travis was lost on D more times than not. Maybe even on both sides of the court. but 22 minutes, 0 points does not ordinarily describe Travis.

One thing I do know is that Dante is everything that Travis is not – and that is why I like Dante.

He’s still missed, some. Maybe not his play so much, but his personality is definitely missed. Kind of sad that he never got to return from his injury in the RG, that would have been a special moment.

When the world knows Nico Batum as "The Inevitable", I'll be very happy with where he is as a player.

not that special really...we had him for 6 years, we got used to him.

btw has he been back to Portland yet since the trade?

WITH ODEN ON OUR SIDE

by bowdown on Oct 31, 2010 4:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

It's always special when a player comes back from a long-term injury

I don’t think he has played in the RG since, I think the only remaining matchup with the Clips was in LA.

When the world knows Nico Batum as "The Inevitable", I'll be very happy with where he is as a player.

Atleast he gave us one of my favorite new era blazer memories

back when we didnt have the the burden of expectations. The bench reaction is priceless. Martell and Oden in street clothes were going nuts too
