That's true, but the refs said he finally got ejected because he continued to beat the dead horse long after the play was over.

Your article on Hoopshype said he got angry after Brown hard fouled Bavarra.

Dorsey is definitely a confident guy. Getting thrown out for defending a teammate is one thing - getting thrown out because you're being loud and obnoxious is something else.

Adelman:
Exactly the fact that hes willing to fight for a summer league teammate really shows passion. I do think that it is a sign that he will be a solid pro.

I think it's more of a sign that he's Joey Dorsey rather than an indicator of pro success. Like I said before, Joey is interesting. He's definitely entertaining too. I heard he was talking about how Houston can get past Utah now cause they have him to put on Boozer and that he couldn't wait to go up against him on a Houston talk show. You would think after the Greg Oden debacle, where he called him out only to get destroyed by him, would have taught him a lesson.

Terence Morris? Wow . . .he never quite panned out, did he? I'm reserving judgment on Dorsey until we see a little more of him.

The fact that Terrance freaking Morris took his starting spot is disgusting to me.

Okay well those stats arent much to anticipate but last year, he was the ***- http://www.euroleague.net/competition/players/showplayer?clubcode=tel&pcode=LGD

The reason Maccabi sucked this year is cuz they benched him.

As excited as I am about Luunen, it is this guy I am anticipating- http://www.euroleague.net/competition/players/showplayer?clubcode=tel&pcode=LGD

Not a bad idea. I love Steve, but he's not cracking the lineup. Dorsey has some judgment issues based on him getting tossed from a game he wasn't in for excessive chatter from the bench. Frankly, though, the Rockets expect Dorsey to be their back-up C at least part-time this year.

I've never spoken to Joey myself, but everyone I've talked to always has interesting things to say about him. I think putting him at center is something worth trying. He's going to block shots, rebound, and is capable of finishing around the rim. Behind Yao Ming they really just need energy, and I think he can provide it. I've got to hand it to Joey, getting kicked out of a game that you're not even suited up for is quite impressive.

Dorsey is 6'7", they expecting him to become another Ben Wallace?

Steve has to go. I said it when they signed him it was a bad idea (I was right on both him and Mike James). Good thing Adelman is smarter than Morey.

Hmmm, I would package Novak and Dorsey for a backup C. Get Maaaaaarty on the roster!

Surprisingly so - first impression is he's another one of those white kids who never makes it to the NBA, but he's deceptively quick and crafty.
