Chris Wilcox says he's feeling good after his first practice. I might have been right in that it was not a big injury, rather he was in less than optimal shape.

Barbosa is reported to be in "remarkably good basketball shape" despite not having played basketball for a while.


And Wilcox doesn't get nearly enough love around here. He's an extremely athletic big with legit size, successfully coming off surgery. Could have commanded something more than the vet min in my opinion but gave that up to win. (Wished he was here in the Knicks game defending Tyson Chandler and playing small ball).

Also, love that our players are all in shape. Shows how much these guys want 18.

Well, Barbosa said he is in good shape for what they did today (3hrs half court sets) but that he will really know what kind of shape he is in tomorrow, when they go up and down/full court, in practice (or something along those lines).

Good point.

Turns out they have an article on the practice on ESPN...and more positives!

Barbosa is really trying to run the point and is doing it well. Got the Rondo stamp of approval.

Doc says Darko's okay.

Barbosa is going to beast around talent and aside Rondo
