    Battier is also a particularly beloved player there.

    This thread is about Shane Battier playing for the Memphis Grizzlies. With Tony Allen currently starting, along with OJ Mayo's return and once Rudy Gay comes back, where will Battier be on the depth chart...3rd string or 4th string? Although it would probably be to the detriment of the team, I'm sure he'll get mins before X. Henry. As long as Battier doesn't play a major role if the Griz make the playoffs, they have a chance to actually win a playoff game as opposed to all those years when Battier played a significant role with Memphis being swept every year in the post-season and having never won a playoff game in their entire history, but I guess they had intangibles. Or can Rudy Gay, Conley, and beast mode Z-Bo win the Griz some playoffs games in spite of the post-season Battier curse in Memphis. Now that would be a real tangible accomplishment.

    Battier +11 +/- vs. Spurs today in a win

    Someone who names himself after one of the biggest no. 1 busts in NBA history should just STFU and GTFO.

    Take your elementary +/- stats out of here, I watch the games, which you obviously don't. Z-BO, a player you love to hate on, was in his usual beast mode and he carried the team to victory just like he's done many times this season.

    Also, please don't personalize things by throwing around cuss words and wondering about the origins of my moniker. Cussing is a sign of you being emotional, irrational, and unable to maintain your composure. And the reasoning behind my screen name is irrelevant.

    Shane has stabilized our bench. When Rudy comes back, he likely plays more backup 4...depending upon matchups.

    Kwame, are you really going to go start this again? Like i've said before, you always act primarily as a Battier-hater than an actual Rockets fan. Your post history definitely backs that up.

    I'm not sure why you keep up with him and Memphis now, since you wanted him gone so badly. It's almost like an obsession.

    No, you just tend to focus on the Battier related post because you're the one obsessed with him. It's great to see the Rockets' young talent get more playing opportunities now. I know it must have been very tough and sad for you when he was traded, because you always act primarily as more of a Battier-only fan than an actual Rockets fan. I hope your period of mourning is over.

    LMAO. I've been saying for over a year he wouldn't get traded until this past deadline, if at all. Unlike someone else, who was sure he would get traded 5 different times over the past 2 years or so.

    I don't believe I've ever even created a Battier thread. How many have you created? Even after he's gone you're still creating them. Enough said.

    If you're going to continue with this thread, I at least hope it's not filled with, "Grizz lost because Battier couldn't lead/carry them," and, "Grizz won because X player-not-named-Battier carried them, since Battier couldn't." It really hurts your credibility as a poster, which is hurting as it is.

    C'mon, man. You seriously think the Battier that is playing with the Grizzlies now is a different Battier than the Battier that was playin with the Rockets until a couple weeks ago?

    Is this just like the "I've criticized Shane Battier plenty of times" posts that you were talking about a few months ago, lol.

    But you sure post A LOT in every Battier thread ever created by anybody.

    I know you're still recovering from the pain you experienced when you received the fateful, yet inevitable news that Battier was being shipped out of Houston, but please don't derail this thread. I couldn't care less of what you think about my internet credibility. I'm sure the newest member of a Memphis Grizzlies message board is none other than RV6.

    Maybe you should start a thread about the games Shane Battier actually provided tangible production. It won't be a very long one. In the meantime, feel free to talk about how valuable Battier is going to be as a 3rd string or possibly 4th string player in Memphis once Gay comes back. Please don't derail this thread.

    I thought you had calmed down with the personal attacks, but either way, can you tell your mom I want my Jordan's back from underneath her bed. In all seriousness, please stop derailing the thread.

    If you don't have anything to add to the subject matter of this thread, then stay out of it. Go demonize Muslims, which is what you do best, and leave basketball to the rest of us. Please stop derailing this thread.

    What do you think about Z-Bo carrying the team and putting them in a good position to make the playoffs, especially since Rudy Gay went down?

    Lol, and it's not as if Battier did anything to really contribute to the win either...It was all Z-Bo with the help of a few others. That's the problem with the Battier lovers, they'll do anything from looking to any stat or ignoring the stats and focusing on intangibles to try and demonstrate that he is a contributing force, but when all else fails they attack other posters in order to deflect attention away from the issue. They're an interesting bunch.

    Why don't you find proof that I'm lying? Just pull up every single post i've ever made, shouldn't be much trouble, right?.

    Like i've said before....I have over 3 times as many posts as you do, so I post a lot about every player. However, I wouldn't be surprised if over half your post count involves battier.


    You're the one who rushed to make a thread about him after the trade. The guy is still in your head after leaving the team. I also wouldn't surprise me, if since the trades, you had more posts in this thread than in the GARM. You've never been about rooting and talking about the rockets. You've always been about "what's battier doing wrong". At least other fake fans try to fake it.

    Wait, so you make a claim, and then the burden of proof is on me to back it up? Lol, you need to take a basic class in logic.

    You post more about Battier than others players easily. Here's a very recent example to prove my point that you pop up in every Battier threat, no matter who starts it, to defend the guy you said you love:

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=201762

    I didn't rush to do anything. I saw that there was a thread already created about AB as a Phoenix Sun so I decided to create this one. If I would not have done it, somebody else would have. All your other accusations are BS, because, as usual like your buddy larsv6 or larsv8 or whatever, you don't backup anything you say with evidence. This is my last response to your drivel. This thread isn't about me. Please stay on topic and stop derailing it.

    After couple of years....

    We are out a lottery pick.

    We are out of Rudy Gay.

    We are out of Battier....

    ...and all we have to show for it is a malnourished Yinka Dare.
