Qualified for the playoffs with the Clippers and opposed to Denver during the first round, Nicolas Batum is preparing discreetly for this deadline. His name has been found in a heated debate linked to his performances this season.
Absent in the last two regular seasonal matches due to an ankle injury, his state of health continues to question. Nicolas Batum can however be satisfied with the direct qualification of the Clippers in the Playoffs, since he has several days of rest to recover from the balance. This, before starting serious things and going to Denver to face the Nuggets.
Faced with criticism, Nicolas Batum supported by clippers fans
Given his experience, Batum will certainly not be too much in the rotation of the Clippers during upcoming deadlines. Tyronn Lue continues to count on him despite statistical production down this season (4.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.1 Decisive by match). This fall also undoubtedly explains its mention among the most disappointing players of each team according to Hoop Central :

Three French people can thus be seen in this graph, namely Tidjane Salaün for the Hornets, Ousmane Dieng for the Thunder and Nic Batum for the Clippers. And while the case of the first two does not necessarily cause a lot of turmoil on Xthat of the tricolor veteran has made it react to it. Many of the clips have been numerous to be incredulous and to defend:
@clipfullyloaded : Batum was not disappointing at all
@MipNorm : It's clear, what are they saying?!
@ETClipsShow : Batum ????? Or how to make people understand that you did not watch the clippers without telling me that you did not look at the clippers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Rikdaddy: Batum ??!? Never of life
@kawhi_muse: Nico Batum disappointing? You have clearly watched the clips matches. He is one of the most regular and vital role players we have.
Note that this choice was not the only one to be castigated by Internet users. The Lakers Nation was not surprised to see Gabe Vincent acclaimed, just like the Warriors fans vis-à-vis Brandin Podziemski or those of the riders vis-à-vis Isaac Okoro. Proof that this list should not necessarily serve as a reference.
Certainly less in mind than it could have been in the past in the game of clippers, Nicolas Batum still remains an essential link in his team. Angelenos fans have also reminded it and refuse to see the season of the French qualified as disappointing.
