what happened to Deng not playing in the Chicago Celtic series? n i didnt see batum last game against us?
1) Deng has been injured for a while now. 2) Batum did play in game 3.. he just sucks, he hasn't made any kind of impact on the series for the Blazers.
Deng has been injured for a while. Batum isn't anywhere close to being playoff ready. He's gets minutes based on well he plays. In the playoffs, he's been close to a zero, which his minutes mirror.
Batum played 10 minutes last game. He started the 3rd quarter but was taken out with about 9 minutes left. My guess is the defense he was or wasn't giving wasn't offsetting his lack of offensive production.
batum is useless...but hes a rookie and he defends...they are trying to groom him into the next shane battier... I want Deng on the Rockets!!! perfect half court player next to YAO
