Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Mar-19-13 01:05 PM
to not having the Batt dogg.

Fact remains hes the only player who was a part of both this run and the Rockets run and the 33 straight or whatever at Duke.


Thats some good winning. I wish we woulda had the healthy pieces to go deep with him when he was in Houston. Glad he got out and still was young enough to win elsewhere.
2149866, yeah certain players are so good at what they do, they deserve
Posted by Cenario, Tue Mar-19-13 01:07 PM
to be on winners.

Battier is one of them.
2149867, did you see him throw it off Pierce and flail into the bench?
Posted by Vex_id, Tue Mar-19-13 01:07 PM
lol

i was dying laughing.

2149880, championship caliber role player. wish the nigga was 6 yrs younger
Posted by southphillyman, Tue Mar-19-13 01:16 PM
cause it's gon be a hurt piece trying replace him
i want him to go wayne brady on a nigga just one time before he retire tho
sick of seeing dudes constantly herb him for no good reason
last night after that play where he swatted the fuck out of jeff green walk to the basket
that peazy ass headed high top muhfucker all pointing in battier face talking shit
even corny dudes like jeff green got the heart to go at battier, getting out of hand at this point

i remember when he came up with a strategy to shut down kobe
giving him a hand to the face lol
kobe lit his ass the fuck up after the media was hyping that shit up
but i'd be lying if i said niggas wasn't on the court after that trying implement the fuck outta that move
2149886, cause all that shit doesnt faze himyrs younger

He will literally walk away from this type of exchange laughing or smirking and not give one fuck. Then come back and do the same thing again.

2149969, he doesn't care, he lets them get jacked, then jacks them
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Mar-19-13 02:20 PM
battier and elton brand are two dukies i just couldn't hate.
2149902, Kobe was cussing and shit
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 01:27 PM
That nigga was so mad at even the idea that Battier could hold him.
2149883, He's the definitive "Glue Guy" of this era.
Posted by placee_22, Tue Mar-19-13 01:17 PM
and he'll bust that corner 3 like Mario Elie.

Posted by Deebot, Tue Mar-19-13 01:43 PM
2149908, if you had a choice between him and Horry, who would u take?
Posted by Castro, Tue Mar-19-13 01:29 PM
2149925, Haha...C'mon fam
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 01:42 PM
2149935, get out chea, dry-hatin...get out chea!
Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-19-13 01:50 PM
2149943, Lol, cuz Battier ain't in the same class as 7 time World Champ Horry?
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 02:01 PM
Just stop dude.
2149959, he ain't played with a HOFer 95% of career either
Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-19-13 02:13 PM
2149982, But now you're only talking about Battier cuz he's playing with HOF'ers
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 02:33 PM
So it's a Catch-22
2149989, no it ain't...they both glue guys...
Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-19-13 02:37 PM
horry wasn't no "star" who just happens to play with HOFs...nah, horry was "sorry"
2149996, Man, Horry was far from sorry.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Mar-19-13 02:41 PM
Horry is just a better glue guy than Battier.

Ain't no shame in that.
2150001, we disagree.
Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-19-13 02:49 PM
hopefully, batty joins bron in cleveland in a couple, so you can REALLY dry hate.
2149933, batty dogg, of course...horry played with greats his ENTIRE career
Posted by Basaglia, Tue Mar-19-13 01:49 PM
i mean the WHOLE time. batty dogg would be having russell on mercury morris threat-level alert blood orange right about now if he were afforded the same opportunities.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Even Harry the Hippie is like, "Bags, you gotta stop sippin' on that Jim Beam"
2149972, Personally I would take Battier
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Mar-19-13 02:22 PM
Horry successfully identified the league's best big man and signed to play with him repeatedly.

But play for play? Horry had that DGAF mentality at the end of games, absolutely, but overall Battier is a very proficient shooter in his own right, can do more than just shoot on the perimeter and is a much better defensive player.
2150007, Horry DGAF for long stretches of seasons & games too
Posted by Bombastic, Tue Mar-19-13 02:58 PM
he was one of those dudes who barely showed a pulse at times which helps for the highly pressurized moments but can look like coasting when you're playing in Minnesota on a Tuesday night.

Batty is just a better all-around player with more of an effect on the team's bottom line on the day to day.
2150068, my fave shit was the yahoo boxes that said DNP-Old Age
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Mar-19-13 04:28 PM
they had a laziness one, too, but ran the Old Age one all the time.
2150034, battier for the defense but horry's resume will obviously be more
Posted by Cenario, Tue Mar-19-13 03:32 PM
impressive.
2150054, Bob's last second antics have blinded y'all to his defense
Posted by Castro, Tue Mar-19-13 04:10 PM
He wasn't an all out scorer- he COULD score, but he was on the court mostly for his ability to defend multiple positions and rebound.
2150069, he hung well after he did those things well, that skews impressions
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Mar-19-13 04:29 PM
lemme put it this way, we are sitting here drafting these guys out of bama/duke respectively, i'm taking battier.
2150108, Battier is 34 and just won his first ring last season. Good Luck!
Posted by Castro, Tue Mar-19-13 05:48 PM
Basa in here saying he would be "approaching Bill Russell status" if he had landed with the right team. Well he landed with the right team at 33. Nobody was beating any of those sorry ass teams doors down to add Battier as the championship piece. Is he good on the court? Yes! Is he great in the locker room and in front of a microphone? Yes! If he went down, would the heat still play good defense and have one of their other interchangable pieces knocking down threes? Yup.
2149938, never went from hating a player to loving him like I did with Battier
Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Tue Mar-19-13 01:57 PM
2149945, ^^^ agreed.
Posted by Guinness, Tue Mar-19-13 02:01 PM
that dude is the best.
2149957, i've always liked batty. one of the league's true leaders.

some cats just got them leadership 'gibles..
2149980, hated him at duke; was indifferent to him in memphis; liked him in htown
Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Tue Mar-19-13 02:30 PM
love him now. took me a while to warm up to dem 'gibles, but I've come around.
2149948, He saved us from all future bad Bron leadership speeches.
Posted by Ryan M, Tue Mar-19-13 02:04 PM
Again, trust me - I know a bad leadership speech - I had to endure post-Shaq Kobe trying to be the lovable, rile up the team guy - it's painful.

Battier got them good speeches.
2149953, Man, FUCK Battier
Posted by RexLongfellow, Tue Mar-19-13 02:11 PM
Never liked dude...probably never will...fuck him

And the most intelligent player in NBA history is probably Kareem Abdul Jabbar
2149975, yeah i mean jabbar, walton, et al but let him cook
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Mar-19-13 02:24 PM
lebron is also obviously the leader of the team but battier has been a great addition and deserves the due he's gotten the past couple of seasons. total class player and strong competitor. i remember when he was on houston and morey said something like "a lot of these (advanced stats) just prove what we already knew, like that shane battier is a really, really good player that helps you win games in a lot of ways."
2149954, The most I can offer here is...I agree.
