    CLASSIC ARGUMENT, RIGHT THERE.

    I apologise on behalf of Pau Gasol, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph, among many many others. They have all suffocatingly failed the NBA supreme citizen and shall name their second son's name Shane Battier.

    I hope your colleagues at work are all productivity all-stars. Cos if they are not, imma gonna get your boss to scrutinize and fire you in case your company doesn't meet its sales target this year.

    Don't disappoint ;)

    Dude did provide the vegas slips. I gotta give him some credit for coming back and elaborating on his initial thread from last year but in the end he was wrong. In the finals he played great in the biggest stage and i give him full credit. Battier was the 4th best player on that heat team in the finals.

    You're in denial, bro. This thread isn't about trading the #8 pick, so you can argue it all you want, not only will you not be right, but you'll be arguing with yourself.

    The latest argument against Battier has been he's done, washed up. That he wouldn't be nothing more than a 10 min guy, or a juwan howrd, who'd only win a ring if he sat on the bench of a title team. However, he played nearly 40 mins a game in the biggest stage possible in the NBA and his team won, in part because of his contribution. There's no denying that and that's all that's being implied in the OP.

    all you Battier haters need to shut it. Dude played a big role on the team and they won. Yeah Durant went crazy on him but the Thunder also scored less in that series than any other.

    Nice attempt at deflection, but I will play the game.

    Wade? No. Wade is better than Harden in every aspect os the game except 3 point shooting.

    Bosh? Definitely. Bosh is a jump shooting soft PF who is a mediocre rebounder.

    Harden is a playmaker and one of the best pick and roll players in the game.

    I would take Harden over Bosh every time, whether I am teaming one up with Lebron/Wade or any other team.

    Bosh is fortunate to be playing behind James and Wade. That is all.

    Shane did his job. Hit WIDE open threes. Nothing more nothing less. Good for him.

    Shane Battier's mustache alone trumps the Juwan Howard curse.

    Taking shots, how?

    Have you latched onto Battier's jock, now that you're finished suckling Bron?

    All I said was Battier was terrible in the playoffs, but showed up in the Finals.

    u mad dat i speek teh truths, bro?
