Wonder if that reduced bulk is going to hurt him this year when hes playing against the big C's.

As longs as he keeps a strong base he should be fine.

Might be to preserve his knee for the future. Still I didnt expect him to get this skinny.

I've read this story three years in a row now. He'll be the same a month in the season. He lost a ton of weight his third year in the league and had stayed at that level since.

I like it but i wouldnt expect too much from him. He's still going to be slow as hell when he gets the ball in the post or gets a pass to finish at the rim. I do think it will help him a bit defensively though.

lol. He went from Oliver Miller to Amare Stoudemire in a matter of months. I call BS. Blood and urine test please.

Boozer dropped around 20 as well. That's good for injury prones, I guess.

Nobody cares about his offense, this will help him immensely on defense where he was slow and unable to rotate correctly last year. Perkins could barely move or get off the floor last year.

the big question here is who starts at Shooting Guard, if Thabo starts then they dont need any offense from Perkins, but if Harden starts they're going to have problems scoring.
I know its the other way around relax.

Maybe he worked out more and probably ate better. He lost weight and you assume he used PEDs to lose weight...
