Dre's got the dooky braids back!

 

[HailBlazers]

aaaaaah shit

 

[THE HCP]

He's been doing it for years. Shaves 'em off for opening night.

Everybody should grow a Fro like Varejo. That Fro helps him draw more offensive fouls than Ginobili's nose does.

So we heard reports (from the training staff) that LaMarcus put on 20 lbs of muscle without losing a step. LaMarcus now says he felt too heavy and wants to play lighter.

I seem to recall at least one report that Miller was working out like a beast for a change during the off season and was going to come into camp with a renewed purpose.

So how about it Mr. HCP? How does Miller look?

My guess is it was just announcers blowing sunshine up fans collective asses. Miller doesn't look any different. Lamarcus doesn't look any different.

My guess is... Dre is Dre. I highly doubt he would change everything about his off-season approach after 11 years in the NBA.

 

[THE HCP]

Dre looked the same......

 

[THE HCP]

Here's LA.......

 

[THE HCP]

EW.......

 

[BBert]

Dre looked the same......

...As he did at the end of last season or the beginning of last season? He doesn't look that pudgy in that picture.

Other question: Has Nate abandonned the fitness test Miller refused to run, and then disrespected in the press, last year?

Mike: "Elliot, rumors are that you have a 48" vertical. Is that true?"
EW: "Well, yeah, I didn't get it measured at the combine, but I've had it measured, you know, at the PF and stuff. I can jump pretty high. Whether it's 42" or 100", I'm trying to dunk on people".
MB on Courtside tonight: "Elliot Williams has put on 20lbs of muscle from summer league and still maintains a 100" vertical! He's looking great to start the season!"

Ok, now that was funny. Repped!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

EW.......

Is Mike Barrett really tall or is Elliot Williams actually point guard size?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

We do know that Miller was playing pickup with EW and Pendergraph in LA over the Summer, and I'm pretty sure Summer-pickup-with-teammates is new for him. He certainly doesn't look pudgy in that photo.

Yeah, that's more like what I heard. I guess I went a little "MB" in my description.

 

[THE HCP]

I think MB is 6'2"

 

[hasoos]

I think MB is 6'2"

7'0 after being converted by the Blazers Media Release department.

 

[hasoos]

No way! A team coached by Nate working on defense? What a surprise!

Thankfully Nate isn't going to adjust the offense that has been so successful in the playoffs.

[MickZagger]

Buck Williams looks in great shape. I bet he could still play.

 

[ironcrotch]

man that video gave me the warm and fuzzies.

Wow. I didn't realize that Oden was scrimmaging. It was good to see him on the court.

 

[JDC]

Man that footage got my heart racing a little bit. The team looks like they got a pep to their step.

 

[Driew]

man that video gave me the warm and fuzzies.

Brought a smile to my face--the season is almost here!!!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Nate's expression at 9 seconds in is pretty priceless.
Is that Rudy applauding in the background at 44 seconds in? Isn't he supposed to be too busy sulking?

 

[JDC]

Looks like just some 1 on 1 skill work with Bayno, but it's nice to see the big guy out on the floor.

 

[Rhal]

That video makes me want it to be next Tuesday even more so I see the clippers preseason game.
