    @BlazerFreeman Most interesting news of practice. Everyone passed Mac's annual conditioning test last night except one ... Andre Miller.

    Good to hear that Miller is staying late. Maybe he is worried he wont start?

    Intrigue everywhere.

    Not only did Miller not pass the test, but Blake set the all time best mark in the history of the test according to a Freeman tweet.


    Oden looked amazing in the test also.

    Miller I'm not too worried about, he's never been through one of Nate's training camps, and he's renowned for taking it easy during the summer. By the time the regular season rolls around I expect he knows just where he'll be in terms of conditioning.

    Great news on the other guys though, I just hope their bodies hold up throughout the whole year and that they gave themselves enough rest during the off-season.

    Some unGodly fitness test that Nate makes the players do each year at the start of camp.


    I think this is the forst year Travis has ever passed it the first time.

    It's a bunch of sprinting drills I believe.

    Of course Miller didn't pass. We already know he takes the summer off from basketball. I don't know if/what his summer exercise program is, but it's a good bet if he has one it isn't geared to passing Nate's test. Let's hope he puts in the extra work to get up to speed.

    Great to hear Oden and Travis did well. It seems like Blakey is a major workout-a-holic. That's why he makes the big bucks in the NBA. He's like the poster child for overachieving.

    I think Travis said he worked hard all of last summer as well but came with a throat infection to camp - so it took him some time to recover.

    Given that Miller has missed a grand total of 3 games due to injury in 10 NBA seasons, I'm not worried about his conditioning. He obviously knows what it takes to get his body ready for the gind of an NBA season.

    I'm glad Travis passed -- I hope he continues his improved offseason work in the future.

    I'm a little more puzzled about Miller--everyone knows his injury-free history, and his propensity for relaxing in the offseason, but I thought he's been here for a few weeks? Did no one tell him what was coming? Or did he blow it off?
