He lost around 20 something pounds I read somewhere. Around the 260's now

[Batz]

Holy skinny bastard.

[Scoooter]

Wow, that's dramatic.

[All Net]

Why's he lost so much weight?

maybe it's catching

[blacknapalm]

Wow, that's dramatic.

yep. most surprised by this of all media pics. he supposedly lost around 30 pounds. he put in work. he was clearly hurt last season in the playoffs. watch out for OKC out west man. if ibaka and harden continue to progress...they're dangerous. still think westbrook should move to SG but i digress.

as far as curry, he could probably lose another 30 pounds, lol. they better not introduce him to any south beach cuisine.

Working out? Give me a break. None of these guys have been able to eat right due to the lockout.

Of course Perk never did anything like that in 8 seasons with the Celtics...he was one of the slowest basketball players in the NBA. If he changed that then good for him. Just as a Celtics fan, it feels shitty to see him do that now and not before...

I think I read somewhere Perkins lost his weight in an effort to adapt to OKC's faster game.

At times last year he seemed really slow goig up and down the court. It's nice to see him motivated for this year

This will not be good for Perkins. His talents is to intimidate, play defense and grab rebounds.

With the weight loss he will lose his strengths.

It's like Kevin Love losing weight....I doubt he will be beasting on the boards.

c'mon...those guys had some levels of fat to shed. it's not like we're talking about muscly guys that had to lose a lot of muscle mass. intimidation is overrated. this isn't boxing and if perkins is still strong in the lower body, he'll be at an advantage.

as far as OKC pace, i can see that. i mean, he was even trouble even running back on defense in the playoffs.

[Clutch]

He's too skinny.I don't think it will translate good to his game.

Good news, fat never intimidated anybody especially athletes. I for one believe he is gonna be much more help in this condition.

you guys are delusional.

You know all that weight loss is bad considering the position they play right?

I hear Magic is bringing The Big Show to replace D12.
