    Devil's advocate here, but I can respect Batum's foul. Rudy had just flopped ridiculously a common foul by Turiaf into a flagrant. Batum basically said, "If you flop your way into flagrant fouls I will get my money's worth and show you what a real flagrant foul is." Who here playing pickup hasn't responded to someone calling a phantom foul against them thinking that he should clobber him the next play to show him what a real foul is?

    A second shot to the collective groin of Spaniards.

    That Navarro nut punch would be a minimum 5 game suspension if it happened in the NBA.

    The USA and Argentina also traded nut punches in their final prelim round game. Chris Paul hit Argentina's PG in the nuts and the Argentine PG later hit Melo in the nuts.

    Why can't Rockets players show their nuts on the floor like Batum?

    Batum's responses make me wish we would have kept that kid.

    What did we get from trading him anyway?

    I laughed really hard at your last couple sentences. Am I immature for laughing at people getting hit in the nuts?

    Ron Artest.

    It was a good move until Yao and McGrady turned out to be cripples

    Rudy Fernandez seemed to get badly injured flopping hard.

    Being french, I hate the spaniards for their Jazz like ways of playing basketball

    The French should be careful about calling kettles black.

    You obviously didn't look at the slow mo replay of the Turiaf foul. Turiaf swept Rudy off his feet with his own foot. I actually think for once Rudy didn't flop. And yes, normally he would have but not that time.

    ...right... :rolleyes:

    Try cocking up your fist like that on the playground and call it just going for the ball after you punch their nuts. I'm certain they'll really believe it.

    PS: If there was any doubt, Batum's comments to Woj made it clear it was intentional. Batum was clearly not fishing for just one ball with that punch.
