    Any recent contact with Rudy?

    Where does Joel Przybilla rank on your list of all-time toughest teammates?

    Who is the best card player on the team plane?

    Does Mike Rice snore?

    Who is the best joke teller on the team?

    Who is the worst joke teller on the team?

    Boxers, or MMA fighters?

    What's your favorite workout? Least favorite?

    Which stat do you think you'd like to be most known for? Assists? Points? Rebounds? Steals?

    You're having a down year so far with your three point shooting (36% vs 37%/39% of prior two years). Is it the broken finger?

    Do you think you could have been the player you are now under Nate McMillan 3 or 4 years ago? Your scoring per 36 minutes is pretty flat over your career, but the assists are way, way up. Is that maturity, or how the coach uses you?

    Do you ever think back on the playoff series where Steve Nash was guarding you and wonder what might have been? You'd had a separated shoulder, and McMillan hadn't used you as a key offensive weapon before, so it's maybe not that surprising the team never took advantage of that matchup.

    You've played in 3 playoff series, and over 18 games you average 6ppg, .8 assists and 3.3 rebounds. This one isn't so much a question as a fan just trying to get you pissed off before the playoffs start. Get out there and change those numbers!

    Nic answered this one a while ago when Casey Holdahl asked:

    [​IMG]
    Nicolas Batum: “My nickname, especially in France, for seven years is Batman. That’s the only nickname I have but that’s a good ID. That started when I was young and stayed with me. In France that’s almost my first name now when I play for the national team. And with Robin on the team, we’ve got a Batman and Robin.”

    What are your feelings about Hollande's 75% tax above 1 million euro? Does it impact you earning your money abroad or are you largely exempt from it? If you are subject to it, are you going to pull a Gerard Depardieu? What do you think of your countrymen who leave France for tax reasons?

    If you could compare Portland to any city in France or Europe, which do you think it most resembles in terms of culture, feel, etc.?

    Are you fluent in French, or did you just get an A in it.

    Have you ever yelled "Fuck you" at a referee in French?

    Was it in France?

    Why won't you shoot the fucking ball? We are so much better when you are looking to score.

    That. The increased rebounding numbers are nice but he just completely takes some nights off offensively and this team just can't survive that ESPECIALLY when Aldridge is out. 6 points and 6 TOs against the Magic after 11 points an 5 TOs against the Heat which followed a 6 point effort against Charlotte.

    Averaging 7 ppg on this road trip. So consistently inconsistent for 5 years now. :sigh: I get that he fills the stat page but it would be nice if he wouldn't fill the turnover column quite so much. Batum - 6 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 TOs.....Barton - 7 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 TOs in less than half the minutes. That those numbers are close to comparable is sad.
