    <p>Yeah I get the stereotype type thing but people seem to believe she really thought Wales and NZ were the same or close to each other. To me that was a tongue in cheek comment by her. Maybe I am giving her too much credit, but my experience with Americans is they are not as ignorant about the rest of the world as maybe they once were.</p>

    <p>Interesting though, we may mock yanks for being like they are ( I don't know if Electa was having a laugh or not, I suspect not judging by her precious comments earlier ) but get the average kiwi to sit down and name even half the US states and most wouldn't be able to do it I don't reckon.....</p>

    <p>maybe not states, but you know that trick you use as a young fulla to not come too fast, by concentrating on something else? I used to try and name all the NFL franchises, starting on the east coast and going west. </p>

    Orlando have hired Frank Vogel, recently fired Indiana coach,to a four year deal. He's a good coach who got a raw deal from GM Larry Bird so I think it's a good move. ESPN are asking if the magic should try to bring back Dwight Howard. Not such a good idea, like taking myxomatosis back to the burrow again

    I came across some scary shit yesterday. Not going to post it because it was just hate fuelled, scary, craziness. But I stumbled across a Black muslim priests page that was asking if Adams got a pass. The amount of "dumb" and violence wanting to be done to Adams was sickening. People were asking if he was an "Original man". Original as in neanderthal. Not jokingly people, actually asking the question if he was a cave man. Then a learned person said he was Tongan and English. Someone said "what is Tongan, sounds made up?". Learned tried to explain its like a Hawaiian.<br><br>
    Then all these idiots started going on about something called the "one drop rule". That Tongans may be from africa and the one drop rule may apply. This means that if the person has ancestry stemming from Africa(its goes more in depth but ill leave it at that) they are to be classified as black. So all these idiots started saying well if hes now black its ok....but the majority of the thread wanted his head. Some guys saying they shoot him if they saw him on the street. Others wanted him kicked out of the league and sent back to Australia...<br><br>

    <p>Adams was kicked in the nuts by Green in the 2nd Q.  He did well to nail both FTs for the flagrant foul.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>OKC lead 72-47 at HT.</p>
