Well to be fair
1) this isn't practice. These are Organized Team Activities.
2) It is June, and the team has mini-camps and training camps upcoming.
3) I understand the "Grr the team failed us miserably last year so they should practice until there arms fall off" mantra sounds great, but every team keeps its starters on a pitch count in the offseason, because ACL tears hurt the team far more then a fan's feelings about them.
1. It is a practice. When you are working on your craft its practice.
2. Idc. These dudes get paid tons of $$. If you are injured or coming back from an injury i understand. But it gives off country club vibes.
3. No its not an emotional reaction. They have already gutted the amount of practices and ota workouts teams can have with the CBA rules. Injuries happen you cant have guys not practice because you are afraid they will get hurt. Theres an offseason for a reason theyve been chillin since january its june now.
Like i said every practice that gets covered we have guys sitting because they broke a nail or their tummy hurts. Or they girl or wife is mad at them. Vet days and all that garbage needs to stop. Weak coaching and weaker organization.
