Davis looks like he's a good 30 pounds over his weight from last season. He has got to go. At this point he's only taking minutes from Harris. He won't accept being his backup, got to stop the drama before it starts.

Ah, the age old dilemma - gaming, or seeking female company....

That he is over weight coming off a foot surgery isn't anything to be surprised about, dude had no use of his foot. He is facing a lot of tough **** right now maybe we should give him a minute. I agree though about him needing to leave, he needs to play well here first though or he just isn't tradable. I like Baby but I would give Harris the starter's minutes if it were up to me.

Has there ever been a coach that was as hilariously positive as Jacque? :lol:

His post practice interview was making me chuckle...

They tacked on his short interview at the end of the day. It was kind of buried since it wasn't featured like the other players' videos. http://www.nba.com/magic/video/2013/10/ ... 4-2607016/

That sucks...I get both. My wife actually purchased all of my gaming consoles for me. It's not as bleak as people make it out to be.

Or, be like my brother and marry a gaming freak. Well, she was never a gamer before they got married, but now she spends a good 8 hours a day on MMO's. They are both on those games all the time even though he works like 60 hours a week as an Engineer. They will talk me into buying a game and when I break down to buy one, then run me thru it so fast that I hardly learn the game or enjoy the experience as we are running around so fast killing stuff to complete quests that I hardly have time to think. Fortunately, I hardly have time to play games except Sunday mornings.

Greg Oden practiced today for the first time in 4 years. Somehow he made it through without getting injured.

Yeah that works to. Im not sure which is more difficult to fine tbh. My wife isnt a gamer but definately a Magic fan which was more important than me getting my Halo or BO2.

I always thought it would be cool to date some gamer chick, but I attract those intense perfectionist types that are all OCD and structured. If some of these women weren't so hot, then I wouldn't mind it. You wouldn't believe the OCD of the woman I went out this past weekend with. She was intense. If she didn't have this killer body, then I probably wouldn't be thinking so much about getting into her pants just one time and dealing with her crap. Sometimes, I just don't want to deal with the aggravation. I wouldn't mind me a slacker gamer chick just for a change. I think they are intimidated by my pimpness.

You're just used to having an old crank as a coach. I imagine coaches coming off the worst record in the league have no option but to be positive

Dating a gamer chick may seem cool at first until you realize that the house is dirty and you are hungry cuz the chick is playing video games all the time and ignoring everything else. Im talking from observations, not personal experience.

"I think his analogy is right on," Hennigan said. "I think all of us know where we want to be. We know where we want to get. But we don't want to skip steps along the way."

Could this mean a longer rebuild?
