Re: Walker ejection

But that's not the point. The point is... is that something that should get a guy ejected? You think they'd eject Kobe or Michael if they made a comment like that? Shaq? JKidd?

Not a chance.

Well if Walker did make the statement it wasn't professional. We most likely
will be going home after the first round if Philly gets home court.
