really boring for the astue basketball fan. However, good enviroment for kids and people that don't take the game to serious. If you were there to get any type of scouting report it would have been tough. Lucas can really jump, he did all kinds of dunks in warm up drills. Reed seems pretty athletic flushed alot during scrimage, but runs kind of flat footed no big deal. Bonzi looks in much better shape, and for some odd reason Jackie Butler didn't play but I have never seen him as small as he is now. Francis nailed his first three, after that his shot appeared off, he didn't do anything to show if he still had the hops are the jets, but the fans gave him plenty of love, and Mcgrady welcomed him when everybody was screaming for T-Mac he called Francis his man. Landry is definately not a top flight athlete he was missing all kinds of easy dunks in warm ups, and he isn't 6'9 stood next to Scola more like 6'7 and Mike Harris has a NBA body and is active. Luther Head personality wise seems like the most serious Rocket on the team.
Yeah, I don't think I'll go next year. This was my second year to go. It was kind of lame and we were stuck in front of some real inner-city tattoed thug-wannabes with a MOUTH--N word this, F word that and my kids were there with me cheerleaders were HOT, I did get to see Yao Ming 5 feet away waiting for the elevator going down. He had to majorly duck to get inside. I knew he was huge, but my jaw was dropping at how big he was. I took the side door behind the Rocket's shop and that was right behind the door that they were signing autographs. That was really cool. Did not have my camera ready.
can someone post a pic? I liked the one with long straight hair, arching back and a little bubble-butt.

i liked how they acted liek the two guys dunking on trampolines were not one of theirs...also the guy in the dirk jersey
Did anyone else do a double take on this? I was like "When did we Drexler start playing for us again?" and then I realized who the jersey number referred to. Jeez Bonzi has lost a lot of weight! All that junk in the trunk which is no longer there may affect his ability to back up on the post, but it should benefit every other aspect of his game.

Technically, not HD. It's just the aspect ratio of the camera. I prefer the wider aspect to the standard 8x10. On Bonzi, the first thing Clutch and I noticed when we walked in was how slim Bonzi was. At first, we didn't recognize him. The guy is in SHAPE.
This one sucked compared to last year. -You can see a clear difference from a JVG Open practice and a Adelman Open Practice. -JL3 has some hops!! Who knew he could dunk. And these wern't just regular dunks, he was throwing them off the backboard and stuff. -Francis also threw down a dunk that looked reminiscent of his old days. -Novak hit one jumper and then bricked the rest, all of them open. He did have one dunk though with the help of Ref Bonz. -Coach McGrady was ejected in the 2nd half. He then proceeded to kick the ball into the stands, Bobby Knight style. Fine and Suspension is in on the way. - Deke, Rafer and Bonzi did some of the finest Refereeing I've seen in a long time. All in all, It was just the guys having fun with each other. Kind of like when you and your friends get on the court and mess around. Nothing too serious, no real defense but you did get to see a glimpse of the new offense.
