    Whoa that's creepy ^

    Looks a little somber/quiet at training camp. Should be good for this team though, they've always strived through adversity. It's times like this were lucky to have Sarge as our coach.

    It's great to see Williams has the ability to get past that defensive dynamo, Dan Dickau

    I am seeing Armon as a chucker who does not make many shots, EWill simply has another gear beyond anyone on the team and may be a better distributor that Armon. If Raymond really wants to run as I think then this team could be fun to watch. If EWilll can develop decent shooting, with his speed and hops he could be something special. I can see him guarding anyone's PG's better than anyone we have.

    Isn't Williams a SG?

    Yeah he is all SG. I read someone say last year that he could play the point, but I seriously would doubt that. Defensively yes, running a team.....no

    yes, but the fact that EWill is probably already ahead of Armon does not bode well for Mr. Hammer. My guess is Smith is the backup PG, unless Ewill surprises us with better PG skills then we think he had.

    I really wish the Blazers would stop that. Trying to convert a SG into a PG never works.

    He has played the point both for Duke and for Memphis. In fact, he took the PG job away from Nolan for a spell at Duke, I think. But yes, he's one of those "lead guards" that flourish in college but not usually in the NBA.

    I wonder how long it'll be before there's a sign that says "Red Hot and Nolan"?

    OOh....TM julius!

    btw, holy shit at the 2:25 mark

    Well Wallace is a borderline all-star (while playing the 3). And, with Batum in the second unit he will be the focal point and finally get tested in being a go-to guy.

    Great to hear, like that sound of this. Could be the key to Felton showing up Dre.

    But our 5 best guys by far are: Aldridge, Wallace, Batum, Wes and Felton. I assume Nate is stuck on starting Camby, but I assume he won't play many minutes. And I suppose if Batum does come off the bench, he can be given a larger role.

    When you get to 7:50, pause it.

    I think you'll appreciate it.
