Practice Report

I don't have much of anything for you from practice today.  There was some confusion about scheduling and by the time I got there, practice had already been called and the gym was pretty much empty. What I gathered from asking around is the following:

1. No one asked Nate about Anthony "Tom" Morrow.  That makes me a teeny bit uneasy but that's why we've got scouts.  Let's put his over/under at 11.5 points tomorrow.  What say you?

2. Brandon was rocking a hoodie by LRG.   Not the first time I've seen him in LRG.  For those of you looking for the latest in "urban wear," I suggest stocking up this holiday season.

3. Nate is staying with the same lineup for the game tomorrow.  Nic starting. Greg not.  Dwight has more.

4.  Martell was in gym shoes, shorts and a workout top.  He was doing a leg strengthening exercise where he stood on two balance balls.  He had a long bar that he held with both hands behind his head and he would do sets of squats (I think they are called squats? I've been in a gym like seven times total  in my life) while balancing on the balls.  It looked hard.  Even from 20 feet away you could see his leg muscles straining. I will reiterate for the 97th time how excited I am for Martell's return in December.

Also I shook Kerry Eggers' hand.  It was cathartic. In honor of that, I will link to Mr. Eggers' thoughts on Terry Porter's jersey retirement.

This didn't make it in this morning's links post but you might check out Sean's collection of Greg Oden links.  Good stuff.

Anyway, I feel bad about not delivering a full practice report, so enjoy these leftover photos from the Minnesota game last week.

the team looked

so flat in the opening quarters on Sat. I was screamin for the Bayless face to be released. In hindsight, I’m glad that wasn’t necessary.

Thought the same thing

I thought for sure that Bayless would get some run after we went down 10 to the twolves. Guess Nate knew what he was doing.

so when does the ironic

stop being ironic?

I do believe the edge is becoming that which was mocked by its mocking.

Greg Oden, where posters happen.

Re Bayless and marketing: Didn't he have a contract with Lee jeans or something before the draft?

I think I remember seeing him in spots and banners e.g. on DraftExpress.
Also, I hope Brandon doesn’t own this L-R-G product (they have collaborations with several other companies)

on the topic of LRG

It’s not technically the latest in urban wear. They actually made it big years ago. The guys at hypebeast would laugh at your outdated knowledge.

Though, to be fair, I’m about 20 years behind the fashion trends.

I was about to say the same thing as you. But I’m 20 years old

trust me… if alien vs predator come to blows in front of me, you will have a 15,000 word account of every blow, gnarl, etc.

"Whoever wins, we lose" is not a great slogan in this case

Is Sergio the “Alien”? Both would have the Bayless face down.

LRG makes me angry

it’s the only “urban” wear company that doesnt offer kids sizes…
