I know the premise of this thread, but haven't really read any of the posts. What I do have a problem with is the title. It says to me that PP is goofing around when he should be working out and getting ready for training camp. First of all, we don't really know what PP is doing. Second, I read a comment from Ray Allen the other day that essentially is saying he's letting his body heal and doesn't really know how to go about getting ready for next season. The reason he's unsure what to do is that he's never played in a season like the past. The team played the equivalent of an extra quarter of a season, a game almost every other night, one day to get to LA, one day back from LA with plane problems that caused them to get back much later than expected and at a different airport from where they left and with a big game the next day. (maybe had to go to that other airport to pick up cars?). I think you get the drift. None of these players has been thru this experience before (I think KG went to the finals once--don't know how many games were played). So we shouldn't be making assumptions as to what any player is or should be doing this off season. To me they should get their bodies healed and then start to get ready for next year. Also maybe more time away from basketball is best for the mental aspect. I don't expect them to get off to a great start because of what they went thru physically and mentally (last year they actually started training as a team after labor day, a month before training camp). I expect them to lose more than 16 games. And I expect them to be competitive to defend their title when the time comes.
