    I am actually curious as to what our players are doing this off season to improve. Is Harden working on his D? Is Howard working with Hakeem to improve again? Is Ariza resettled in Houston and working on being a potential third or fourth option? Or do we have a bunch of guys taking luxurious vacations and will show up over wieght and out of shape come training camp?

    I'm not really sure what he can do during the off season to improve his defense. He knows how to play defense, he just chooses not to play it.

    It really is sad when all of us can't answer without joking about the situation. I really hope these guys get it together real soon.

    Well, you can follow DMo's improvement with the Lithuanian national team. Harden was playing in the Drew League. And of course, some our guys were in the SL.

    Not sure about the rest.

    Harden is playing Ping Pong! (Twitter)

    Beverley is working hard and working out with "teammates" in Vegas (per Twitter).

    I'm sure Troy Daniels is counting his new cash!

    .... and Trevor Ariza is practicing his dribbling.

    Are the "role players" avoiding Harden?

    Get what together? People are joking because you're taking things way too seriously. I don't remember them having a problem last season. It's the off season, so they are off. Let them have a life.
