Was worried about Pierce and BBD coming in over weight. Peirce and BBD both look to be in good shape any pics of BBD to attest to this. All I saw was the Golf pic. Rondo Pic is scary - that kid has always been muscular, hope it helps him finish better and does not get in the way - never impressed by Bball players with huge biceps (unless you are dwight howard).
well, i assume if he gained seven pounds of muscle, the Celtics training staff probley worked with him to add it everywhere over his body. its not like you can see anything but his biceps in that picture, and all it realy shows is that he's pretty cut now. The one knock i had on him last year, from a conditioning standpoint, was i always thought he could tone up a bit.
also, lets be honest, he needs some muscle mass. He's too small to take the beatings he does night in and night out without some muscle.
I mean, ray allen is ridiculously jacked for his body type, if you ever see him out of uniform, but it hasn't hurt his flexibility at all, and i belive is what made him the most durable guy on the team minutes wise. wheather it was wise for doc to take advantage of that all season is another matter, but ray's body held up so well to 38 minutes a night at age 32 because of his muscle tone and conditioning program.
considering that from alot of reports, rondo sees ray as mentor for his overall offensive game and health (see jakie's awesome article) Rondo will be fine. the Celtics training staff aren't going to let him build in only one area and end up looking like gabe "popeye arms" kapler.
