When Tim has an advantage at center we can always throw in Bonner to rain down 3's.
looking good!
It's been forever. That was 2000, before his surgery. He was never a flyer, but I don't think he's even gotten that high since the surgery.Quote:

McDyess, Blair, Haislip and Ratso will do the dirty work underneath. Should have done this last season. If Mahimni is anything at all the Spurs will be in fat city.
is that girl Serena Gomez?
Yes, but it's Selena.Quote:

good for his knees as others have said. :tu all the way!
is he on the Manu Ginobili diet????
I believe the photo. My wife and I were at Silo for our anniversary a couple of weeks ago and in walked Tim and Amy. It's not like i'm used to seeing him that close but the first thing that came to mind was that he seemed real slimmed down. He looked like a kid.
since when is Odom a Center?Quote:

I checked Duncan's pics from the All-Star break and I don't think it's from February. His hair wasn't as grown out at the break, his beard was heavier and he looked heavier.
February 14.

salena how tall is she?
she looks like a cutie, asl?
first off, official or inofficial numbers about the weight of a player have to be taken with a grain of salt, much more than about the height. (and as we know, that numbers are very often not accurate, for whatever reason).
so forget about all those "jesus, he's only 240, he will get pushed around by all the guys who are 250 and more" talk. very often the listed 240 guy will in fact be 250 and the 250 guy will be just 240.
however.
fact is, Tim has lost weight and the lost weight will help his moves on offense (and this moves didn't look as quick and easy in the last 2 years) and it will help his health, which is the major point.
and as far as I can judge, Tim's strength and game is based on his strong legs in the fist place and didn't depend that much on the upper body. usually you can retain the strength of your legs pretty well, even if you slim down significantly. just a matter of focus in the weight training. of course, physical laws tell that a body of 260lbs takes more energy to move than one of 240lbs. this will hurt Tim in some situations. on the other hand, factoring in the dynamical aspects, in many situations a more dynamic and quicker Tim will be more difficult to defend. at worst it's a wash, with the benefit of a significantly lower burden on the knees.
It was a long off season, but I was also wondering on the specifics of how he got to 240.Quote:

Didn't Pop did say that the plan is to start him "out of shape"? Though TD at 240 doesn't really look out of shape to me. So there's a chance he will gain weight as the season goes...
I just watched a movie called the "year of yao" or something like that. His first year he was much,much lighter than now. Ever since he's probably put on 40 pounds his injuries have started.
Bulk is over-rated in basketball. Good for timmah, unfortunately it will help him out a LOT. Dangit!! :)
Getting in shape will never hurt.... Lean & Mean is what we want in the big fundamental........
pic looks a bit weird imo ...
