Shhhheeeeeaaat.... That's his fucking JOB. It's what he's PAID to do. A job any one of us would kill for. The LEAST that MF can do is work hard in the off-season. When it's your job to be in shape and to get better at your craft, it's exactly what you do.
I just seen video of Leonard playing defense down in LA and he just don't get it at that end of the court. That right there tells me he don't want it bad enough and he satisfied with the contract he got by the Blazers.
If Portland fans don't encourage a new improved Meyers, then they deserve to lose his value....I'm cheering for him to be a 10 million dollar bidding war dude come late Jan...go Meyers!!! Impress the Magic or the Kings! By then Collins and Swanigan will know the playbook and Ed already does!
I don't think it's a question of wanting it, it's a question of having the ability and the instincts on the court that should be like second nature to him by now. He doesn't.
Watch the video again. No one was playing defense. What was the point of this "scrimmage"? But, yes, Biebs was particularly bad.
Leonard is the difference between an athlete playing basketball and a pure basketball player like Swanigan.
shhhhh....you guys just don't get it....you pressure wash the beater and sell it as grandma's around town car......!
That's what I thought. My impression of the nature of that game was if he went hard after some guy showboating a layup he'd get kicked out of the gym. Guys were there to have fun and show off, not train for the NBA playoffs .
Well hopefully being this is the first time in what 2 years he's been able to work on his game in the summer... He'll be able to do something positive this year.
I believe in the exit meeting Stotts told Leonard to play as much of 5 on 5 so he maybe can learn those skills. If that Leonard trying learn those skills than he wasting everyone time.
I once worked with a guy who was a very hard worker. Although he worked hard, he was in the wrong profession, would have been a great janitor.
