So we’ve reached a point where Batum is so bad that coincidentally our bench is becoming better than our starters. At least for tonight. And parts of last game.

Frank is having a good game too. Hard to predict how this will end especially if Silas puts back all starters to close the game.

Batum has decided to play the 4th quarter but Lou is killing us

He made two shots to take his 4 points up to 9 points. Still a abysmal game.

wasn't disagreeing but if he played like he has in the 4th, it wouldn't have been abysmal. he's taking shots which unsurprisingly helps him to get assists as well. he obviously needs a spark to light a fire under him. make him wear a national team jersey or something

No, it's even worst. He was 1/9 after 3 1/4. he just wanted to save his stat sheet a bit.

The worst being that he was smiling and joking with someone on the bench (i did nto recognize him, maybe Stone). Wit this level of performance i would try to find a way to hide under the bench

Well, i have already posted on some french forums that he has not the level for play for our nt at this point. You should remmeber how he was playing in the olympics btw against your nt. Ingles and Mills (when he was switching to provide some supposed D) played with him for the whole game. And all his tournament looked like this.

With this kind of game he just does not belong in the nba nor at international level.

Kemba and Bats and Howard and Lamb and Kaminsky have no idea of how to play together.

It’s uncomfortable watching them all play.

If we just released Batum and MCW without signing anyone to replace them, this team makes a playoff run.

I strongly believe and agree with this. I liked how we played our first several games when both Batum and MCW were injured. Might’ve been the most entertaining basketball we’ve played so far this season.

We started the season off 5-3 with a tough schedule. We had some sense of chemistry. The rookies were getting playing time and being integral parts to what we were doing. We scored more. Everything was just better than what we’ve had to witness from mid-November until now.

I absolutely despise Batum. Another wasted investment in a soft pastry Frenchman who has no moxie or fire in the belly. Diaw was just like this. I think they give up trying and focus on just going through the motions while awaiting a trade. Wish contracts had performance clauses. If he was good but didn’t fit in we could get something in trade.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.
