Thanks to Chuky for translating Nicolas Batum's latest blog post for BasketSession.com. --------------------------------- On a personal note, I was better in these playoffs than last year. One year ago, on the court I was in spectator mode. I'm not saying that last year I wasn't in the mood and all, but let's just say I was a little funked, in quotation marks. Here I was really in the game right away, I scored 18 pts in the first game. My shoulder bothered me but I could do something good in these PO. I think I did a rather good job but I could have done better. I would rate myself a 11/20 we'll say :) Maybe I could have had a 15 if my shoulder did not bother me. I was often guarding Nash. He loves to go left, so the pick was coming very often on my right shoulder, and that was hurting. But it's been a month since I've done nothing, so no problem for the France team, don't worry. --------------------------------- Read the full translation here in the FanPosts. And now it's time for a picture of Nicolas Batum hugging a dolphin. Thanks Alex. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
