I'm watching the Oklahoma Vs Daivdson game and I'm not digging Griffin's body language too much. He's not getting the looks he should because his guards keep shooting (he's had 4 shot attempts at the half) but that is no reason to just jog up and down the court. He does have 11 boards and a couple of nice assists though.
On the other hand, Curry has 17pts and missed 6 mins of the 1st half because of fouls and I hardly even remember him shooting the ball!! That kid is a serious scoring threat.

True, but there's no place for him on the Cats. We need big men, even if Curry is the best player.

Note to ESPN: when I can see "ESPN2HD" in the l/r borders of my picture, I'm pretty sure I'm not watching hd.

It was the lead up that was mesmerizing. He gets his defender on his hip, turns him inside out then pumps a nice little floater and kisses it off the glass.
Showed a lot of smarts and poise all in about a 5 sec span.

I don't like that. Pass the ball big fella! You're not impressing me with your weak coast-to-coast attempt.
