As opposed to giving the ball to who to score? Larson? Ross? 11? 21? Palmore?

Batten did not have a great night, but a ton of his missed shots where bc the shot clock was running down and him and Bacote are the only ones on the team that can create any sort of shot in the halfcourt game.

He obviously needed to pass to someone else.

The problem is his decision making. Running down the court and taking quick long range clankers or out of control, out of position drives to the basket is what I'm talking about. Trying to make something out of nothing. Some say he was playing hard. The problem is he wasn't playing smart.

Batten didn't do this. Most, if not all of his bad shots were bc the shot clock was winding down.

Who is he going to pass to?

I'm tired of watching him drive recklessly to the basket and throwing up bricks. He is the reason we lost.

Batten scored 12. Third best scorer. I say let him play.

We have such a deep bench we can afford to "sit Batten's sorry ass for good."

What a dumb_ass thing to say.

He was 3-21. 86% of his shots where bad and not all of them with little time on the shot clock.

Sorry ass player he is. Or did you not see the game. He was 14% from the field. Tell me how he benefits the team? He's better on the bench where he won't do any harm.

Keep sniffing that paint. lol
