    Holy crap, those videos were far too entertaining! Thanks to clutch for giving us our fix. :)

    LOL at lin making ga-ga eyes at parsons and bricking 3's until he joined his bff. :) And yeah, lin's shot looks far more fluid and relaxed than last year's version. He also looks almost gaunt, definitely a thinner version of himself. He should have some blazing speed this season. :)

    Dmo. Dmo. Dmo. The 3 pt experiment is not working. Use him as a post option. He can't stretch a defense.

    Mchale: "the 4 and 5 are interchangeable." What? The 4 and 5 are NOT interchangeable. Parsons and Delfino spent some time at the 4 last season. Can they play center also?

    Mchale has clearly gotten the memo from mgmt that he is to start howard and asik simultaneously for as long as possible to keep asik happy and productive until the trade deadline.

    Enjoyed watching the shooting videos. Is it possible to have two cameras(some kind of split screens) one focuses on the shooter, the other on the hoop? This constant moving back and forth between player and the basket is kind of disorienting.

    Lin said Asik and Dwight both didn't practice today. Then he backtracked and said he's not sure if that was public information or not. Then the reporter said it is public. And Lin was laughing because he thought he might have said something he wasn't supposed to, but it turns out everybody already knew.

    Wow, D-mo form has improved a lot compared to when I saw that first video of him doing that drill.

    Glad to hear all the talk about getting better defensively is actually being displayed. I remember when MJ took the criticism about his defense and made it personal. He worked and became the best at it. Let's hope that Harden can maintain this mindset. If so, we will be hanging a lot of championship banners :)

    My apologies for being an old guy.

    Watching Dream blows me away. Watching his spin moves makes me question why he is not suited up :)

    Dreams aside, I thought Montiejunas seemed to emulate Hakeem better than most. Whether that translates into anything meaningful probably is indeterminable.

    These have been a joy to watch. Thank you.

    It did look nice, although he doesn't get if off very quick. Lin's shot looks almost as good if not better. If Lin shoots like that during the season we are SET.

    Covington has a damn near perfect jumper, and Lin's is looking better.

    Something about DMo's body language really irks me. He needs to stop being so non-chalant.

    He hasnt made it to be this relaxed.

    You're sharp to figure that out.

    The person who kept bringing up Beverley sounded a bit like Wojnarowski (Yahoo Sports), whom I think Clutch said was at practice today. Definitely sounds like a Beverley story is coming from whomever it was that was asking everyone about Beverley. It sounded like the same person who asked Beverley about the Jordan remark, though I'm not sure about that.

    If it's Woj, it could be a story about Westbrook and Beverley.
