Yeah working out is the best, I've been slacking a bit lately, only going twice a week instead of 3 times. I love coming home and just having that feeling of accomplishment though.

I have a general idea, but dispense with the details if you don't mind.</div> lol, it wasn't my idea. I just ran into it at another forum. Basically, you draft posters (I'm guessing by how good they post). For example: With the 10th pick in the JBB draft, JBB selects... M Two One from France. Prospect: M Two One Age: 22 (I don't really know) From: Chicago, Illinois Position: Bulls Mod Strengths: Very interesting poster who has traveled the world... has been around the site awhile... is mature... solid debating skills... excellent writer Weaknesses: His biggest weaknesses is undoubtedly the fact he is a Bulls fan... likes Tyrus Thomas over Eddy Curry Something like that, but it wasn't my idea or anything.
<div class="quote_poster">The Legend Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">What kind of modified crunches do you do? I do this machine at the gym, its called the Abdominal Crusher, it does feel as if your abs are crushed after, it hurts like hell.</div> Why don't you just do sit-ups? Does the machine work your stomach muscles any differently? Most of my exercise at the moment is aerobic. I used to be on the weighlifting and football teams in high school, so I've already got a lot of muscle mass. I also broke my nose about a month ago, so it's not recommended I get under weights yet. Right now I'm just working on improving my overall speed and quickness, especially my lateral quickness. I was able to keep up defensively with kids from the county and private school leagues in high school, but everytime we played the teams from the hood, where kids had quicker first steps, I would get burned time and time again on defense. That's always been my biggest weakness, so that's my biggest focus point at the moment. I agree completely with you guys though. Working out just makes you feel better. I've gotten in ruts where I don't have practice for a week, and I'll just hang out all week watching tv, smoking, and playing guitar, and during those stretches, I not only get out of shape, but I start to feel a lot more lethargic and tired. Working out just revitalizes you.
The point of the draft would be to rank the posters and have something fun to do since the offseason can get boring. I'm up for it.
I'm going to have to go ahead and put my foot down on that idea. We don't have "who is your favorite poster" threads anymore for a reason.

Why is Mike Conley listed as a center and playing over 90 minutes? http://www.nba.com/summerleague2007/games/...meId=1520700014

Hey, MrJ, you gonna watch the Sonics/Knicks game? I'm pumped for this one. NBA basketball in July --- nothing better than that. Kelvin Torbert ftw.
<div class="quote_poster">NTC Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">It's a mistake.</div> Sure about that? I was under the impression that he actually played 92 minutes in a 48 minute game.

I want to see how Durant will play, he was disappointing his first game. Let's see how he'll rebound against Balkman.
It would be cool if we did a draft and had a team thing going. We pick like 5 team leaders or something, and they pick their teams through pm (so nobody sees the order and stuff), after, they post the results. So we could have like Team Swish or something, and we could all fued with each other and fight and stuff. In the end, the losing team gets banned from JBB
I'm watching it too. I'm pumped to see Durant play. Did you guys see that dunk by Louis Williams in the Sixers-Warriors game on NBATV now?

Like Team Swish would literally go to your house and woop your ass. You know?

Let's see how he'll rebound against Balkman.</div> People do read way too much into summer league games though. These are the type of games that players like Bo Outlaw and Greg Ostertag dominate and players like Tim Duncan struggle in. Durant may have started off slow, but he's nervous, and there's more of a spotlight on him than pretty much any other rookie in recent memory playing in the summer league. He's still proven as hell though. I haven't seen any freshman dominate the way he did last year, and that's including the likes of Magic, Iverson, and Carmelo. As for tonight's game, I'm more excited to see Kelvin Torbert, the former High School Player of the Year (from '01?). Knee troubles have really killed his career to this point, because his entire game was based off of his athleticism and explosiveness, so I'm interested in seeing how effective he is three or four years after his surgery. Anyway, has anyone else noticed how a lot of these foreign players (like Marco Belinelli) speak better English than Kevin Durant?
