Coach James

We only practiced once today because I think the third day is always hard in an NBA training camp. Guys are sore, we're practicing over four hours a day on the court, and we're doing a lot of conditioning, running, and the guy's efforts have just been tremendous.

The guys came over in the morning with our trainers and strength coaches and got a good lift in. They came out on the court and did a little bit of work amongst themselves in terms of shooting, but basically they had a great weightlifting session.

We came back tonight and practiced for about two and a half hours and the effort was tremendous. What we are doing now is trying to mix in a little better execution with our effort and we are seeing great strides. We are light years ahead of where we were at this point last year. We're emphasizing both sides of the ball so that we can become better basketball players.

We really love our rookies, Jared and Juan. They have practiced really well and are doing a really good job for us. Kwame Brown has had three great days in a row. Michael Jordan practiced really well tonight. I'll tell you that we are not disappointed in any of the 16 guys that we have down here.
