    Did anyone else have these thoughts while watching the video?
    It's so good that he's back and why the hell do they have them practicing shots (off of screens) when they hardly ever do that during the game?

    We're an ISO offense, why have them practice shooting shots running off of screens (or simulated screens)?

    Looks great! We could really use his defense, it'll be exciting getting him back. His jumper looks better than I remember it.

    But obviously I want them to wait until there isn't any additional risk of him re-injuring it.

    I hope Nic and Rudy learned a lesson and tone down the workouts next summer. I was all for Batum getting some burn 6 months ago but after the injuries we've had I'd rather see him rest up and healthy for next season than partaking in summer basketball activities.

    Well that's the chance you take drafting foreign players. They want to play for their country.

    Speaking of which, did you see how bad Martell's looks? His feet are all fucked up when he goes up and shoots typically not coming to a complete stop and jumping straight up. Man ...

    Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing.

    I said to my son, "they should just have him stand in the corner and count to 23 and then get a pass and practice launching up a shot with someone in their face."

    wait..you repped someone for saying they agreed with my comment, because he made a joke about 23 seconds, yet you didn't fucking rep me in the first place?

    What, did you join HCP in the "I hate julius" club??

    shit..whats a brother gotta do to get some love? I pass out rep's like they're oxygen.

    Thanks for reminding me. I owe a dozen people reps back. They would make great Christmas presents! Yeah! Let's see, only 361 days till I have to dole them out. Can't wait to see the happy faces!

    Ha. You should see Webster shoot jump shots in practice. He never misses.

    Everybody looks better in practice.

    Actually watch Webster shoot in that practice, he's missing all over the place.

    I saw that too. Nik was making more shots than Martell, which you wouldn't expect.
