Hasheem Thabeet…more like; Hasheem Tha-ReasonWeGot-Beet. Sure the big man can put up 25, 20 and 9 against Seton Hall, but it was a different story when Pittsburgh came to town. Thabeet got MANHANDLED by a 6 foot 7 DeJuan Blair. He went 1 for 5 from the field and only managed to snatch 4 rebounds, while Blair dropped 22 and grabbed 23 boards. Wait a minute, isn’t he 8 inches taller than Blair? Am I mistaken? Is Thabeet not a legitimate 7 foot 3? GET YOUR WEIGHT UP! GET BIG! God damn boy!

Maybe Thabeet is not as dominant as everyone thinks. Sure he impacts the game just by stepping on the floor, any 7 footer does, but it seems like he should be better. Most of the big games he has had this year were not against good teams (Seton Hall, Buffalo, Fairfield). Do you even know where Fairfield is? I sure as hell don’t.

Thabeet needs to step his game up come March. He needs to start playing like he really is 7 ft. 3 inches against elite teams. I hate to burst your bubble Hasheem, but the NCAA Tournament is not going to be comprised of a bunch of Fairfields’.
