    Punching people in the nuts, that's what.

    It must be a French traditional to punch someone in the nuts on purpose when they win.

    That was worse than the nut cracker that Melo got against Spain.

    I didn't see it, but everyone on Twitter was saying it was cheap and suspension-worthy. Was it? They also said the game ended in handshakes, and then Tony Parker smashed his goggles...

    Sounds like Batum got frustrated at (a) choking away a lead in the fourth and (b) Rudy flopping. Was that right? (But why punch Navarro for a Rudy flop, I don't know.)

    Looks like he was going for the ball and accidentally hit the balls.

    ...with a closed fist.

    There's many people who've dreamed of giving JCN a good cock-punching. Batum was just living their dream.

    It's the shove afterwards that really gives it away.

    That was great. I like the fire from Batum and I dislike Spain.

    Is there another link other than just the actual punch? (Repeated over and over) You would punch the ball away with a closed fist, but this looks pretty bad. I would like to see it from 5 seconds earlier.

    If you were doing that, would you give that quote to Wojo afterwards? I actually respect Batum more for not attempting to lie about it.

    LOL, that's awesome.


    France's lack of late game execution is similar to that of the Blazers, FRUSTRATING.

    I posted before I read the quote. But yeah I could see where he may try to punch the ball out, miss badly and then just accept the fact he went over board and not try to deny it.
