Devlin’s talking to O’Neal and he’s saying that him and Bosh are passing shots up in scrimmage when they should be shooting. Call it two new friends being super-nice to each other and making sure the other has a good share of the pie. Will one of these two men will rise and make the team his own? Do any of these two have the “Kobe mentality” of being second to none and will impose their will and leadership on the team? Both are very good players but I don’t think either one of them is the “gimme the f*cking ball” player. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just means we don’t have a “gimme the f*cking ball” type player. But wait..wait..wait..what’s this…Chris Bosh is not quiet anymore, he’s going to be “gregarious” this year. We’ll see, we’ll see.
Eric Smith is at camp and naming Kris Humphries as the best player on the court from their latest scrimmage. He’s got more details about FT shooting, wind-springs and other such camp-happenings. Given his insider access Eric Smith’s posts have always been lacking any substance but not this one. He’s reporting the shit out of training camp. Dave Feschuk’s giving his opinions on the FT drill which makes you want to hate your teammates. The idea behind that drill is that it should simulate pressure on the FT shooter but I wouldn’t put it past some jokers for missing them just for kicks.
Michael Grange is pointing out some interesting numbers regarding Scott Foster’s refereeing, is he another rogue referee? You decide, I’m leaning towards a ‘yes’.
The Manatee is going to get another doctor to look at his heart and Joey Graham is still injured. The Heat picked up Shaun Livingston which is going to be a good, good acquisition for them. Before he went down with a knee injury he was considered an “up and coming” point guard and assuming he’s healthy now he’s going to give them a good scoring/assist punch.
Not much going on in Raptors news. We got a inter-squad game today, we’ll see how it goes. Check RaptorsTV from 2PM – 4PM today. No, its not the game but Boston Celtics training camp. Should be fun to watch.
I know its a short post but I’m working on some changes to the site which will make life better for everyone. Later.
