Where's the rest of RJ?
I haven't brought this up before, and no one else has mentioned it--but doesn't it seem like RJ has lost about 15 pounds since before his injury? If you remember, he started the season very muscular and bulked up . . .then he lost his explosiveness and needed ankle surgery . . . and now he looks skinny again, and he has more hoops. I could be imagining it, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he intentionally set out to lose weight during his rehab. If anyone can post a picture of RJ from early in the year, and a picture from the playoffs, I'd be curious to see the difference side-by-side.
Also, I wish I knew someone who worked for the team or, say, nba.com--just on my hunch, I'd encourage him to ask RJ about it.

Re: Where's the rest of RJ?
You are probably right. It goes along with my theory of sending young guy's to the weight room when we should and they will naturally bulk up on their own This concept ruined KVH's shot and RJ's quickness,etc...

He's still getting it done, I don't care if he doesn't look as pretty doing it (???)

Re: Where's the rest of RJ?
Rj's a better player if he's lighter and quicker. Better defense, more explosiveness.

I think everyone agrees--that's why I'm interested in whether the (apparent) weight loss was intentional. I'd hate to see him try to bulk up again this offseason. I'd think we'd all be much happier if he now recognizes that he's better off trying to stay slim.

RJ may have lost weight to help his ankle.

I was not one of them. I never wanted him to bulk up.

i wasn't too excited about that either. RJ is a prototypical 3 and he should stay that way.

Re: Where's the rest of RJ?
It's good to see him weigh down, then his ankles would be fine.
