some real negitivity from the peanut gallery,if sully was here just working out that would be a major concern,
If he can't take the heat, then don't be a pro. This is all on him, he is one that let himself go physically and lacked discipline. Only a really weak minded player, takes negativity to heart, most guys with competitive spirit want to prove their naysayers wrong. Other the weakest of minds quit from negativity, adversity can make you stronger in many cases if you over come it. I do not know if we want a guy who quits the moment, some negative comments get made.
On the other hand, he sees this rooks busting tail and working their butts off, he might realize he is going to have compete for a job and not just from them. I seriously, doubt, John Lucas, has training facilities as good as the Celtics or professional trainers as good as the pros. He might help Sully more in mental aspects of recovery though.
You played back in the day, right. Did Rollie Massimino drop negative comments on his players ever? We both know he did.
"Do you think I want to be doing this?" Massimino erupted. "Do you think I want to be screaming at you? Do you bleepers really think I want to go to the Final Four? Listen, there's much more to life than that.
"Do you know what I'd really rather be doing now than anything? Than being here in this room? I'll tell you. I'd rather be at home, sitting behind a big, steaming, heaping plate of spags (spaghetti). Yeah, that's right! Macaroni! Linguini with clam sauce! I'd rather be doing that than losing this [dang] game! Now get out there and do what got you here in the first place!".

comittment to losing weight and keeping it off
he moved his father out of his day to day-kudos to sully for going to the right place ,a no nosense program both mental and physical
Cupcake workouts compared to what we have seen in Waltham from the rooks. Guy is still slow, will be slow.
Recall this was a workout from the best shape of his life, last year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3Aj4D1L86sWe all know how that turned out.
It does almost seem as if only one young guy has been stubborn about not being seen in Boston this off-season. Because he knows they want him here? Or because he doesn't want them to see what condition he's in?
Please, don't anyone go trying to tell me that he's one of the team's leaders!
I agree, recall Ainge said this :
“I don’t know the answer to that,” Ainge said. “I think that’s up to Jared. He has in place for him all the tools, it’s just a matter of him being able to do it.”

It is a matter of which place you think he was referring too. I think Ainge trusts him about as far as he can spit. So he signed Amir and traded for Lee, in case things do not work out.
It is a big year for him, time will tell if he made the right decision. Of course, it is always best to go maverick and workout by yourself, NOT! He tries to play hero ball at the end of games, too. But in some ways I am glad too, he is not around to poison the rookies with his laziness, so I guess that is the positive.
would rather go watch the local rec league.
Watch some of thos Pro-Am games Sully played in this summer with zero competition, you might find a better game in the rec league.
This was in July 2015, a guy can make a lot of progress in a month though but this was some weak competition and he still looks slower than pond water.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IYHx6swpuIThe rookies in the Waltham look to be working out at a harder pace. Harder pace is always better if he has the weight down, and the risk on injury is gone. One has to push oneself, to improve athletically, I am not saying no pain no gain. The whole cardiovascular conditioning and hypertrophy is based on raising stress so your body adapts and can perform better.
