Actually, constantly complaining about someone's hair could cause them to cut it. Lol.

Apparently Mario shaved his head after telling his barber to "prepare him for war."

War with shooting over 30% from 3.

He better be preparing for something. He doesn't show any improvement this season his NBA career will be all but over.

lol Biz made Elf really uncomfortable with all the hair stuff
Biz: I'm here with Elfrid....... and the hair. (starts touching his hair)
"We gotta give it a name for real"
Elf: I don't think we need a name... heh... let's not push it.
So of course Dante starts taking live suggestions from facebook users
"Flop top"
Elf: hey look who we have walking up, my man AG...
camera pans to capture AG approaching down the hallway
camera pans back and Elf is suddenly gone lol.

Elf hates when people touch his hair. I remember he damn near killed Mario at all-star weekend for doing it.

Not even a 1% chance.

Complaining and getting ripped on has never caused someone to cut their hair?

I think elf might be going the daredevil route. the moment he senses wherever the basket is and finds it without seeing anything, he'll cut his hair.

Mario says he worked on shooting and getting lower in his dribbling action. He also prepared to played the 4 because Frank loves him at the 4 and him being able to rebound and push the ball.

On an internet forum? Very doubtful.

I don't like EP's attitude. The guy has no charisma, he's not articulate enough to be a floor leader. Isaac on the other hand surprised me with his interview.

Is it me or does someone always get hurt during training camp?

Someone has gotten hurt during training camp at least each of the last 5 training camps.

I like that he's confident enough to admit he had his struggles. Not many 19 year olds would be humble enough to share that with the press at his age.

We're gonna have to be patient with his development. For me, I'm not expecting a star, I'm just going to keep tabs on what he's improving from season to season. The slow developments of Oladipo/AG/Elf/Mario have tempered my expectations.

Just what we need... another role player. :lol:

Hopefully he surprises himself.

Not sure if Dante had any idea what he was talking about, or Fournier for that matter, but Fornier said, and Dante confirmed, we will have the 1992 throwback jerseys this year. He also said he thinks Orlando has a top 3 jersey league wide and the 92 pinstripes is the best jersey ever.

I'm not sure if this is the 4th jersey they're releasing in a couple weeks, I would assume so.

Did they do any individual interviews with the players or was it just that Facebook like stuff they where doing? I know in years past they would have Josh Cohen or what ever interview each player. Did they do that this year?
