At the beginning of the season, there are always a few bumps in the road.
That's what training camp is for, no? Today's hiccup saw the internet connection
at the office go down for most of the afternoon, which is why I am just able to
post this stuff now. I'll have more tomorrow as the team commences practices for
the first time, but sufficed to say Media Day was a success, if such a thing can
be determined so.
Everyone seemed happy to be back, and guys were clowning around with each
other in between giving interviews with the media on hand. Maurice Evans in
particular seemed to fit right in with his new teammates, getting into a few
shooting contests with Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby. The other thing noticeable
right off the bat? Muscles. Specifically those belonging to Marvin Williams and
Solomon Jones, each of whom appear to have bulked up considerably in the
offseason.
We grabbed several interviews with the guys (and by we I mean ace Hawks
broadcaster Bob Rathbun), and we'll post them in the morning.
In the meantime, here are some photos from the event this afternoon.
