    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA Told Batum some won't think groin shot is in Olympic spirit. Batum: "Do you think if you lost a game on purpose, that's the Olympic spirit?"

    It is JCN's fault for having the ball so close to his nuts.

    Finally, I asked Batum if he felt like his punch ultimately gave Navarro a 'good reason' to flop. "I hope so," Batum said.

    To be fair, Nic Batum did ask Juan-Carlos Navarro what the capital of Thailand was before he did this..

    I wonder if Claver is going to come down with a mysterious injury right before the start of training camp?

    I laugh at you people that think it brings attitude. What it brings is a sore loser. If he made a strong BASKETBALL play, then I would agree. But he was going for the balls and he knows it. That's just wrong.

    That would also be a plus. The knock on him is he looks too "laid back".
    That just changed.

    I fucking love it! The prior trip, they went to foul Rudy and he soccer flopped like a motherfucker and they called intentional foul..... Game over. Nic was making sure he intentionally fouled. Ahold had been ejected for sure, but I love the fire and emotion!!!!!

    I'm really proud of Nic, it's like a rite of passage for him going from underpaid, mild-mannered milquetoast, to filthy rich, nut-punching bad-ass.

    I like the Nic punch! It's far more entertaining and useful than 3 Goggles.
