I have asked the question a couple of times in various other threads, but I thought I would start a new thread to discuss "practice...we talking about practice?".
Has anybody been a witness to the team's practices? I would be very interested in knowing what exactly we spend time practicing and what JT3's philosophy is. Do we spend a lot of time going through offensive sets and what the "correct" read is? Does he ever just roll the ball out and let the guys play full court? Are practices physical and intense or more subdued/ intellectual exercises? Are defensive sessions reffed, so that they player's get feedback about what is/is not a foul?
I fully believe that any person or team can get better at something with the appropriate amount and type of practice. This team is making me question that mantra, as we don't appear to be getting better at any number of basketball fundamentals.

Considering Akoy, Hayes and White we're injured in "practice", I don't think they are just walking around memorizing offensive sets.

It's easy to sum it up when you're just talking about practice. We're sitting in here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice. Not a game. Not, not … Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game, but we're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that? … And we talking about practice. I know I supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example... I know that... And I'm not.. I'm not shoving it aside, you know, like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I do. I honestly do... But we're talking about practice man. What are we talking about? Practice? We're talking about practice, man. [laughter from the media crowd] We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We ain't talking about the game. [more laughter] We're talking about practice, man. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you see me play don't you? You've seen me give everything I've got, right? But we're talking about practice right now. We talking about pr..
Given the recent state of game play, yes, I'd prefer to talk about practice.

Maybe this contributes to why we seem incapable of not committing a foul on every defensive possession -- coach lets them injure each other in practice.
