I think the NBA.com stream may have ended.
Somebody please record it, and post it online. I had class and couldn't catch it.
From the little that I saw, Monty continues to impress as a coach and a person. I can't wait for the opening game against SA. Hell, I can't wait for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Well that was not the 2+ hours I was promised :(
I watched the whole thing, but it felt like they started the whole thing an hour too early. Should've picked up as players were doing exercises, not way before anyone was really on the court. They were still doing drills when they finished.
I'm sure someone will have it in it's entirety but here are a few links until then.

There are about 5 videos there.
Was Aminu Tatted up this much last year?!

Solomon Alabi
Huh, didn't realize we got him.
Guys does anybody know if NBATV will re-air? I forgot to set the DVR :(
Thanks
** Never mind!!

Can anyone PM me a link.
anyone see Monty school Brook?
"You don't wanna be in Taco. You wanna be in Gap 2" - Monty installing defense. Gotta love it
Monty is a great coach, you can see how much his player respect him and buy into everything he saying. I expect us to turn some heads this year if a)Gordon is healthy and everyone else stays healthy for that matter haha, b)Lopez can make the next step to above average starting center and c) Austin Rivers and Anthony Davis live up to the hype early. Lots of big questions marks but im hopeful and excited.
Also I love the fact that we have now have Jason Smith and Robin Lopez, the two guys who were not afraid to lay out Blake Griffin last year haha.
How many of those old man coaches do some of this stuff?!? Monty got game!!! I am impressed. Makes me love him even more!
So glad we got him another 4 years!
Does anyone have the ability to make a clip of Monty's spin more on Lopez with the hook pass to AD?
Don't know if anyone noticed, but in beginning Monty walked up and gave a pretty strong and friendly shoulder bump to Gordon. That is not something you do to a guy with a badly injured knee. Made me feel a bit better about that situation.
Lot's of good stuff. Monty is a truly great coach. He just has a way of talking to his players, and you can tell that they love playing for him. They almost all were joking with him before practice, and then as soon as practice starts, there isn't a single peep. They shut up and listen, and it is magical. Lots of teaching, no yelling whatsoever, and the players respond great to him. We have a special one.
One major note that I noticed, and the announcers addressed it a minute or 2 later, was that Austin Rivers has a VERY high basketball I.Q. He made a mistake, and Monty corrected him real quick, they ran it again, and Rivers did it perfect. Smith (the "color analyst" if you will) commented that usually, for rookies especially, it will take a guy 4-5 times at least to get that right, and Rivers just picked it up no problem. Smith said it was a product of him being around basketball his whole life, being the son of a coach, and just loving the game and wanting to learn/be the best player he can be. Very promising indeed.
So basically they commented on the entire practice? Haven't gotten a chance to watch it, DVR'd it for tomorrow
please, does someone have those spin-moves on gif?
That flip pass at the end is great too.
Steve Smith was laughing at how Monty hooked Lopez.
Should we be impressed by Monty or embarrassed that our defense let a 40 year old man do that?
Since Monty won't be taking the floor this year, and Robin will, I'm leaning towards the latter...
Well its day 3 of TRAINING camp... Rather it happen NOW (even if it is monty who by the way still got game) then during a game.
Better to have it happen now and address it.
I will say you don't see it in the clip but Anderson DOES rotate to help cover baseline but monty flips it to AD for a dunk.
They can and will clean it up in my opinion.
They honestly didn't expect him to do that. I know I didn't.
Lopez just needed Anthony Davis backing him up rather than Ryan Anderson. AD23 would have swatted Monty's pass away.
