you are aware that Brown is known for his tough training camps right? This isn't unusual
Why do people act surprised?
I think its because vets like Nash, Metta, and Antawn don't need a tough training camp like the one he seems to be implementing. A 3 hour practice could do more harm than good for these veterans. Now if he wants to run the wheels off of the youngsters that'd be a different story but its not good to hear that Nash participated in a 3 hour practice before tonights game.

Sorry I don't remember questioning CDR's defensive skill but rather answering the poster that said that Ebanks was incapable of defending the rim

it didn't Say 3 hour scrimmage it said 3 hour practice and we don't know how much of it was a scrimmage.
on the Bright side, Nash is used to working as hard in the gym it's how he plays at a high level for so long, Kobe didn't practice today, and MWP LOVES working that hard in the gym. So really the only veteran that could complain about it is Jamison and his conditioning needs to get back on par anyway so it will help him get in basketball conditioning which we'll need.
So it's not as "terrible" as people love to freak out.

If we somehow land Dwight Howard AND Nash (which is one of the biggest reaches I've posted, don't think that will happen), then yeah...I have no problem with it, because Howard won't allow anyone to take Nash off the dribble 30+ minutes a game.
Yeah my bad Majesty, it was a practice, I just edited it. Not sure why I put scrimmage to begin with.

That block Ebanks had was luck. Ebanks wishes he could make a block without luck like CDR.
he also did the same thing to Durant but I can't find a vid of it

G'dammitt WTF is wrong with you? That's not what I was saying at all damn it. Learn how to read. I was clearly referring to yesterday's game only, geez.
Does anyone think that Ebanks would take CDR one-on-one? Please be honest.
Of course not, CDR is more experienced and a better scorer that's better at creating shots for himself.
That said, Ebanks has made improvements in his game and is far from a scrub. In fact him and CDR were the best players off the bench last night. So them challenging each other could be the best thing that's happening for either of them. CDR gets to show out so he can make the team, Ebanks gets to improve his game and be pushed to get better. It's working out well for them BOTH.
