Well, I have been saying it all along, and reading it..now it appears in the HERALD again, this time it is KG, as if he is complaining about it..he repeated it 4-5 times that the team NEVER hold PRACTICE.......yes, things have gotten better.....but a team that never holds practice is a team that could be even better.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but do you want the C's to have more practices? If so, they can't because of the condensed schedule.

I could understand using shoot arounds for walk throughs, but actual practices make me scared someone's legs will fall off.

Well, some practice is always good....work on Steamers post game....especially when adding new guys to the rotation....but it seems maybe they got past it....besides...KG said it also..so it must be bothering him too.....it gets a team closer, more in sync, so i say more...not killer ones...but some ball movement, ect....

Yeah, but he's been in a walking boot.

KG is not a normal basketball player human being.

An article from last season when they were on their west coast trip detailing that when Doc took KG out of a practice he started running baseline to baseline cursing proved he is on a completely different level. There is no such thing as rest to that man.

I'm sure the other vets are fine with limited practices for now. Once the regular season ends they should be able to sneak some practices in and work on some things. Health is the most important thing right now, and practices don't help with that.

not only that they need time off they're human lots of practices and games so quick to day to day would have them spent out their minds

I wonder how many practices the Heat, Bulls, Lakers, Mavs, Magic, Thunder, Spurs and Clippers are having nowadays?

My guess is none.

In this crazy season, in the last 3 weeks of the season, with 12-15 or so games to go, practices are just not worth it. In this season, practices are impractical for teams headed to the playoffs.

dude they're about to play 11 games in 15 days against contenders give these guys a break they're learning as they play in a condensed schedule not only is there no time for practice but its not as much a necessity as in a normal year when you play maybe two, three games a week max.

This. OP has been harping on practice for quite some time now, ignoring the fact that rest is more important to this team esp this season than practice.
