I know I could wait till tonight but I'm curious to see how much weight both of them have lost.
Shaq in particular, Im talking like within the last week too- I saw the pics of Shaq visiting the nursing home recently.

Man the news of JO coming back and looking good is so uplifting.

thanks for that,
it's hard to tell- part of me is *seeing* him a litle bit more cut around the arms/biceps.
Dunno if I'm just seeing what I want to though.
fingers crossed they are both at least 10 lb smaller.

Definitely looks thinner there than early season.

Nice find.

And here is a pic of JO from Media Day if you want to compare :


Obviously the angle of the picture is not the same so it's hard to make a fair comparison but he definitely looks thinner now.

It was reported that JO dropped 12 pounds while working out in Chicago after his FEB surgery.

Yeah, and also black makes you look thinner, white makes you look thicker...

But reports are that he's lost weight.

Shaq and JO have definitely lost some fat which will help them. Less wear on their feet/ankles/knees.

Looks like the Celtics did anything they could to ensure we have a healthy playoff rotation.

I'm probably reading to much into one picture, but I don't recall JO earlier in the season stretching his legs like he does on that jumper. If I'm right, he really is a lot healthier now.

And I agree with chambers, he looks more cut out. I think he is going to hurt some people  ;D

Sleeveless t and sweat pants is an odd combo. I'm concerned.

I thought the video of JO looked very good.  Fluid and easy movements.  It made me feel better about the trade.

Jermaine IS looking good... No swelling on the bad knee... Thing is, I hope we could see positive things in an actual game...
