Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

The way he's gotten us used to, Sergio is probably the NBA player who works out the hardest during the summer.

The article talks about his twice-a-day practices with coach Jota Cuspinera (ex-assistant coach with Estudiantes and the Spanish National Team that won the World Championship in '06).

Sergio is having video sessions at 10am to analyze his flaws, then working alone for 1 1/4 hours focusing on shooting and pick'n'roll defense, and then some other players join to put it all on practice on 2v2 situations, Then he's having gym sessions in the afternoon.

We got similiar news this past off season.

There is only so much practicing you can do before your ability prohibits any further growth.

So that means Rex's "monster work ethic" means nada too?

Sorry…. I’m just tired of people taking shots at Sergio.

So he may not be ideal for us right now (I’m not convinced of that, but many are). That doesn’t mean he’s a hopeless case. I’m glad he’s taking the initiative to work hard in the off season – if he’s back in red & black, it’s good for us, if he’s traded, he’ll be ready for his next team. Either way, it’s good for him.

I like Sergio

I doubt he will be the fit, and hope he goes to NY. It’s not that I don’t want to see him, but rather that I want him to succeed and with D’antonio I think he’d become one of the better starting PGs in the league.

No, actually practicing makes you better. Sergio made noticeable strides from two years ago. He could very easily

average 10 assists a game on the Knicks, and probably will when Portland trades him. Against Orlando Sergio had a great game, and look where Orlando is. Blazers have so much talent, that guys like Sergio get thrown under the bus.

I'm glad he is

But he is just not the long term answer for us (or even the short term one)…

It is important he makes a good impression right away on his new team.

I try to help with everything," Fernandez said. "If the coach says go rebound, I go rebound. I work for the team.

""If I'm playing this game to get media and attention, I shouldn't be here," Aldridge said. "I'm here to play basketball, and do what I can do to help this team win."

His stare became blank. It was apparent he was back in that place, on the Rose Garden's logo, picking up Aaron Brooks as the crowd nervously roared.

you can always count on marca to do their part to help boost sergio’s trade value. if and when he’s finally traded, they deserve a cut.

His stats in the video :)

I’m counting 4 of 6 FGs, 2 made threes, 1 offensive rebound, and 1-2 reach-in fouls against the guy in the read shirt. A few shots results are not in the picture.

by Norsktroll on Jun 4, 2009 3:37 PM PDT reply actions  

Is says he wants to improve everything, but above all, defense.

 Bless him, he’s still trying.

Oh and shooting with the defense.

 That might actually be achievable.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
