    In a stunning upset over powerhouse Belgium (if by stunning upset you mean easy victory), Nicolas Batum led France to an easy win in their 2nd warmup games for Euro 2009 qualification. His full line: 7/9 FG, 3/4 three pointers, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals in 26 minutes. The final score was 82-44, so the stats are fairly meaningless, but at least he's playing well. boxscore here.

    In France's first warmup game, Batum score 8 points (3/9) in a win over Austria.

    Good to hear. France has a few NBA players and it says something about Batum that he can lead the team, even if it's a blowout.

    I can't wait to see the sophomores play next season!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Tony Parker isn't playing for the team? Does he play for France in the Olympics?

    Good for Nic, high level competition is really going to help him this summer (along with Rudy).

    I doubt you would have been able to say this without being sarcastic two weeks ago.

    Look at those assist numbers! Are we developing a point forward here? Who the hell needs Turkeyglue. Those are starting to look like Pippin numbers.

    I'll never understand why KP had his eye on Turkoglu. Nic, Martell, and Travis are an excellent group to have at SF.
