[Video] Rockets first 2011-12 practice (final 5 minutes)

why are you apologizing? this is awesome. this is real, not some hypothetical what if bs that's been going on here.

 

No one notice Martin and Scola left @therealtwill hanging?

Never been so happy to watch people run sprints.

 

is flynn the mohawk?

 

Sorry, didn't feel right. It's not fair to KMart and Scola to have them hanging out like that. Yeah, I know they are multimillionaires. But they're still human beings. There's a cloud over this team, the Lakers, and the Hornets until the trade dilemma is resolved. Terrible.

 

Clutch, compared to prior training camps on the first day? How would you compare the general mood or atmosphere to todays practice?

 

They get paid millions of dollars to play a game. They aren't losing their jobs so I don't feel that bad. Scola is doing it with class. Martin, not so much.

 

Just by going by that, Twill was faster by a considerable margin. Athletically he has all the tools and he has a good skillset...now only if he knew how to use it...

 

The guy with the mohawk is Marqus Blakely.

 

It looked like Scola did, but you couldn't see. I don't think he left him hanging though. Martin dapped him a little after he made his shot.

 

thats some athaleticism


a backcourt combo of lee/t-will could cause problems for defenses

 

....and offense as well. Both play good defense.

 

Squid wasn't even trying and easily finished first. Thabeet was out of breath after the first set.

Maybe there is value in Squid after all.

 

Looks like T Will worked hard during the lockout. I hope he proves people wrong this season...on our roster

 

I've always been impressed with T-Will and I can see his potential. It was a shame Adelman didn't play him more.

 

Wow that was some great footage!!!
Guards: Twill literally looks great, Klow looks great, Dragic resting ankle sprain but was good, Lee looks like his same ol bounce of the wall self, Flynn was good, Kmart looks very tense like he was about to get traded or something
Wings: Budinger was good, Mohawk guy looks like he want to make the team
Forwards: Jordan Hill looks like a beast running the floor, Scola was like f this sh$$, PatPat was there
Center: Thabeet looks like he is going to get his ass chewed out by coach Mchale if he keeps on looking like a r****ded giraffe

 

They are professionals. They'll be alright.

 

Well, as long as he keeps consisting.

There seems to be a trend of magnifying little things that TWill does, like the guy earlier who thinks he has a great work ethic because he ran the sprint hard in this video.

 

OMG Hasheem made the whole team do suicides because he missed his FT....

 

Maybe not strong work ethic, but certainly shows he's kept in shape over the offseason.

 

Usually I would agree with you, running one hard sprint doesn't prove much. And like you said, we need to see some consistency from Terrence.

However, I'm really glad/relieved to see him hustling because 1) effort in practice has been in issue for him in the past, and 2) the ease with which he beat the rest of our team, even a workhorse like Lowry, shows that he took his offseason training seriously, and didn't slack off like many of the NFL players, and I'm sure many NBA players did as well during the lockout.
