Trail Post Facebook Stalks Batum
Come on dude! We both speak French and enjoy Portland basketball in one form or another. I was psyched when I saw that you actually were on Facebook. I took it upon myself to give you the rare honor of being a friend of mine. I don’t think you get it, Batum, I actually TRIM the rolls of people I don’t know. Come on man!
Okay, that’s it for my whining. Anyway, Nicolas Batum is on Facebook, and Trail Post did the stalking for the news you can’t get anywhere else. On the fifteenth, Batum said, “Kelkun a une nouvelle épaule droite svp?la mienne est morte.” Of course this means “Someone have a new right shoulder please (or plz)? Mine’s dead.” The illuminating qualities of Facebook. His entry from Monday said, “Nicolas Batum veu se faire grefer une nouvelle epaule,” meaning he wants to undergo a transplant for a new shoulder. The entry last night read, “La poisse continu:une cheville en moin youpi,” meaning, “The bad luck continues: an ankle at least yippee.” Seems like the dude’s in pain.
Anyway, the game against Cleveland starts soon, and the Blazers have absolutely no chance and nothing to lose. It’s tough to beat one of the best teams in the NBA without LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum. There’s maybe a 2% shot of the Blazers winning, and that’s being generous.
