A few notes I made while watching the Celtics training camp on NBA TV.

  1. Darius looks funny when he runs. He sort of just plods along at a decent pace. I thought he was supposed to look "smooth"?
  2. One of the commentators loves Darius. He always uses the words "exciting" and "promising" when he mentions his name.
  3. I have yet to see Darius attempt a basket. He is barely used in the drills and mostly just watches from the sidelines. He looks really, really nervous.
  4. Holy crap, he is actually playing pretty good defense (He's guarding Glen Davis for some reason). He has a couple steals, a few rebounds and maybe a block. He doesn't really do anything on offense, which is really strange for a guy who used to be pretty much 100% offense.
  5. Darius Miles would not make the 15th spot on the Blazers. I'm not sure he could make the 15th spot anywhere. Watching this really put my mind at ease.

I read somewhere that the Celtic are playing him at power forward.

I'll bet he regrets losing all that weight now.

Yeah I admire organized posts too.

But anyway, that’s encouraging… not that I don’t like Darius, but I just don’t want the Blazers’ cap to be messed with!

Maybe Miles can play in nine games this year.

Maybe, just maybe...

all the gushing over Darius is similar to the kind of praise given to that really dumb kid in school…the one that got a gold star and his only accomplishment was managing to not eat his crayons that day.
