Live French on French Action - Laying the Odds

by Seth Pollack on Nov 1, 2008 7:08 PM MDT

The Blazer fans are pretty stoked about the performance of their young Frenchman Nicolas Batum. He appearantly had a pretty solid game last night against the Spurs including a block on Duncan.

I on the other hand have faith in our own French enigma in braids

So the bet is on. Ben from Blazers Edge has agreed to post a picture of himself in a Suns jersey on the front page of his site if our Frenchman out plays theirs. And I will do the same in the highly unlikely event that Batum out duels Diaw.

The measure is a simple points plus rebounds. Highest total wins.

Diaw FTW!

[Note by Phoenix Stan, 11/01/08 10:28 PM PDT ]

Diaw: 9 pts, 2 rebs.
Batum: 4 pts, 1 rebs.

Even without his braids (seriously Boris - a mohawk?) experienced inconsistent French overcame young inconsistent French.

Ben, I will be mailing you my personal Shawn Marion road Orange #31 for your picture.

We meet again on the 22nd. Plenty of time to make all the arrangements :)

And one final image of why our Frenchman is better then their's...for now

hmmm

to bad blocks and steals couldn’t be part of the play as well… Then Batum would win in a cake walk!

You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally... I don't give a $hit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some fukin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief.

I think Ben got caught up in the Spurs game hype.

Batum did have a great game, but he’s also a 19-year old rookie. He’ll be up and down for a while. And, as a Blazer fan, I hope he continues to do well. And I hope Ben wins tonight, And I hope Nicolas proves me wrong, but I don’t think those were winning odds to bet with.
