Whats Going On World?

John W. Davis here.  You have to check out my man Keith Langlois at www.truebluepistons.com  It’s the official blog of the Detroit Pistons.  Keith is practically at pratice every day and check out some of these observations.

————————————————————————————-

• 1. OK, before I get another flood of “how tall is Amir” questions, I asked him the other day and he said during pre-camp physicals they told him he measured in at 6-foot-11and 226 pounds.

2. Curry mixed up the three five-man units from the first day to the second, never with more than two starters to a unit, but the constant from Tuesday to Wednesday was the big man pairing of Rasheed Wallace and Johnson. I asked him if there was anything to read into that regarding the fifth starting spot.“They work well together,” he said. “When you’re trying to balance out the team, you look at trying to have one of our younger guys with the veterans.”Kwame Brown and Antonio McDyess were teammates today, as were Jason Maxiell and Cheikh Samb. On Tuesday, it was Brown and Maxiell, McDyess and Samb.

3.The defense has won more than its share of battles with the offense, but Walter Sharpe had a nice moment when he grabbed an offensive rebound, then hit a half-hook from about 12 feet over Tayshaun Prince.

4. Curry wrapped up the practice but putting the offense in situations where they’d have to go the length of the court, down by two points, in eight seconds. Then inbound the ball at half-court, down three points. Rasheed Wallace designed a play for his red team that netted him a potential tying 3-pointer. He missed, but Johnson made a spectacular play that saw him get fouled while almost tapping the rebound in.

• 5. Curry only scheduled one session Wednesday after going hard twice on Tuesday. The schedule for Thursday calls for another three-hour morning practice, then the popular open practice at Oakland University 6:30-8:30 p.m.

AMIR IS 6-11 226 now!

Sounds like a nice size to start with Rasheed.  Oh Wait in practice guess who he Big man pairing is,  Rasheed. OMG!  COACH CURRY, you are the greatest. LOL

Peace,
