What happened?
"Let me call him," Floyd said.

The man shook his head. "O.J. doesn't give out his cell," he said. "He'll call you."

Adrian shoved a guy to the ground kinda...wasn't a big deal at all though.

Thabeet, even when sprinting, is not very mobile up and down the court.

Thabeet is gonna be a heckuva player in teh league. I mean he's not gonna redefine the center position or anything but he's a top 2 pick.

I agree.  He may not redefine, but he may very well dominate the position.  I haven't seen a college center that I have liked as much since Duncan (I am including Oden).

 :o :o :o

Is the league going to get rid of the defensive 3 seconds rule?

He moves better then you think, but he's not in that class, that's a little excessive. He's too soft right now, and is prone to fouling a lot even at the college level if you just attack him and not get afraid. He can be put in foul trouble too easily. He's better then a Roy Hibbert, but nowhere near a Duncan.

I'm watching him right now, I know how well he moves. He's not a stiff, but he struggles away from the basket on both sides of the court. I agree he's better than Hibbert, but that's not saying a lot.

Adrian should have been ejected.

Ejected? what did you see? He barely even touched the guy.

He attempted to punch him, no? I was on the phone during that part of the game, maybe I saw it wrongly, but it seemed that when the other guy was falling he attempted to punch him.

I dunno, I don't think he was trying to punch him. The other guy (walton I think) was going down, but he had his hands all over Adrian...so as he was falling his hands came free and just as his hands came free adrian kinda threw a shoulder to shake walton free and shove him some towards the floor.

Ok, maybe you're right, I wasn't paying full attention - they showed a replay by the halftime but from a terrible angle. Anyway, he flopped on that 3rd foul for Suton.
