No worries, i3artow. I'm geeked out too. These interviews are great. Way more relaxed and personal than the official media stuff. Hoops is back baby!

I noticed that too. He's got a great structure to build on. Hope he continues to work hard! On another note, man do our uniforms look terrible with the new jersey cut. Just awful.
This! It is a serious issue: a personal weakness, resulting in a felony, putting lives in danger, etc... At the same time, though, thank goodness, nobody did actually get hurt, and we all have our weaknesses as humans, so no point of overdramatising the situation. I kinda liked Ty's disposition when answering these questions: clearly uncomfortable, but didn't go overboard dwelling on it. Sometimes in these situations the public would demand excessive self-flagellation, excessive remorse, especially from a black athlete... Good that it didn't go that far, there is no point of getting the guy in the mud. Keep it positive and work hard on fixing it.
Any interview with Capela? Want to hear how he feels about having more playoff minutes than reg season for his entire NBA career.
McHale said he thinks Capela is up to about 246 pounds now. He said he weighed 222 when they drafted him.
He could have slowly added some weight last season. And added more this summer. 20 pounds on a guy who is 7 feet tall isn't going to look like a ton of weight. Plus, most of it might be in his legs, so it would be less noticeable. Who knows. I'm just spit-balling.
He's not our best player but I love Trevor Ariza. It's funny how different his role is now when compared to his previous stint in Houston.
