Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

"We knew that we could do it, even though we couldn't do a lot of preparation. For sure, we had a little urge for revenge after last year, and it was a good victory.

We'll have to stay focused against Lebanon, they had a big game against Canada. We can beat the world champions, but if we lose tomorrow it messes everything up. There are still 4 matches remaining. The Lebenase are all grounded, they know that they need to play together, they have extraordinary courage. We need to respect them and play for 40 minutes like today. Some people were beaten by them in Japan, I think that they do not want to repeat that performance!"

Except

In the interview, translated to French, Batum says ^#*%’s everything up- Its good to hear from Nico with that passion though.

The game was delayed for over 15 minutes with 5:07 left in the second quarter after France's Nicolas Batum, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, dunked and twisted the rim. Officials scrambled to put a new rim on the basket and reattach a net.

Not by my dictionary

The word he used could also be translated as some other words that I also prefer not to use. And actually, it’s “on the ground”, if you want to be literal. :-)

emotion

i don’t care if some of the words were questionable; i like seeing him emotional and enthusiastic.

thanks so much for your concern, but i do not require your validation in order to feel free to submit my comment.

Shooting percentages as they apply to certain areas of the court.  Note who one of the best shooters in the NBA from the wing is.  Check out the guy dominating under the hoop as well.  Pretty impressive for a 6'9'' guy.
