Bobcats - Adrien gets NBA start

[61cygni]

Is this his first time starting in the NBA?

Adrien doing great so far, 8pts/6rebs/2blks after the 1st half. Kemba doing well also with 11 pts, 3 ast, no turnovers.

This really is a great story. I know some of you have said this already but Adrien is another Kevin Ollie. Work horse who went undrafted but managed to have a long NBA career. Adrien gives 110% every game and Im not surprised teams keep giving him a chance.

Adrien has always been one of my favorite Husky's. Hope he sticks with the Bobcats.

 

[Horatio]

After about four years we haven't come close to replacing him yet.

 

[Gurleyman]

Bobbies actually fell apart after they took JA out. I think they were tied (or close to it), and now they are down 14.

MKG has hit a rookie wall - he's fallen off badly.

 

[61cygni]

Thomas came in for Adrien, instant double-digit run for Chicago.

Jeff hits Biyombo with a pass as Biyombo is cutting to the basket, Biyombo drops its out of bounds.

Bulls announcer Stacey King: He hit him in a bad spot....his hands

 

[Gurleyman]

They took him out to go small late - one board shy of double-double. He had it, but Biyombo took it from him.

 

[61cygni]

Oh man, so close to posterizing Noah!

 

[aceboon]

Jeff with a nice take jus now, faked a pass then tried to stuff it on Joakim, got fouled and made two. would have never seen a fake like that at UConn

Classic. Lol!!

 

[61cygni]

Boozer just took Biyombo's soul.

 

[aceboon]

jeez Biyombo just got destroyed by Boozer

 

[Gurleyman]

Well someone got posterized. But a UConn player wasn't involved.

 

[61cygni]

Double-double, congrats Jeff!

 

[Gurleyman]

Adrien got his double-double on that last scramble.

Ben has been a bit spastic in crunch time, but the Bulls know better than to let him run wild.

 

[TopDog18]

The commentator said it best; He plays with a chip on his shoulder and provides the Bobcats with some toughness. Hopefully Dunlap will continue to reward his solid play. In my opinion he is a much better option than Thomas or Haywood.

Jeff and Kemba were the only two Bobcats with more than 30 minutes. Jeff 35:05 and Kemba 39:54.

50 of Charlotte's 85 points came from UConn.

 

[rw005]

Nice job Jeff, hope this is the first of many dbl-dbls.

 

[cryjeremiah]

Lot of dead weight (money) on the Bobcats roster. Need to dump Thomas and Diop badly, like they dumped Diaw. Haywood is ok. veteran presence.

 

[CardiacKemba]

Very happy to see Jeff doing well in the league

 

[Scoe]

He got the 14 and 10 against the most physical defense in the NBA as well, a Thibodeau defense.

 

[FeedTheDove]

Cant even begin to explain how happy i am for Jeff with a game like this. One of the hardest working guys thats ever put on a UConn jersey. And to top it off with Ben and Kemba doing their thing, my UConn pride was off the charts tonight. Big Mek had 23 and 15 i believe. Rudy 26, 7 reb, 5 assists.

#Kemba4AllStarGame !!!!!!

 

[NOTaDIME]

I LOVE seeing JA kicking ass. Loved him at UConn. UConn=Bobcats pipeline? I'll take the Bobcats to win it in a a few years.

 

[JSB60]

UCONN had 50 of the Bobcats 85 points last night! Ben and Kemba each had 18 to go along with Jeff's 14.

 

[Kitaman]

Wow this is great news, especially with the issues surrounding this season. Jeff is the man!!

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I still think that UConn beats George Mason if JA had been given the the ball as primary scoring option when things weren't working. GMU had no way to stop him.
