Tom's Chocolate Junk edition-11-12

Oden Plays, Brandon Plays (I think) and away to Miami they go. Rudy is gonna show that Beasley what a real rookie can do. Nate will 1st play, then sit Sergio.....book it!!!! Trans-Siberian Orchestra was the bomb...really enjoyed it (once once my retinas started working again). They are like Pink Floyd meets Bing Crosby. I have no predictions about the number of comments this will get....so going in, I am loose and Confident

Porter on his jersey being retired;

"The Trail Blazers organization gave me my chance and believed in me when 23 other teams did not, so they will always be special to me," Porter said. "But this caps it off. I am honored and moved that they feel my jersey should be retired.

"My whole basketball career has been about working hard every day and giving myself the opportunity to be the best player I could be. I would hope that Blazers fans would remember me as a player who gave everything he had when he stepped on the floor, competed, and represented the city and state to the best of my ability."

Bah, he's just saying that cause we retired his jersey

I point out this quote taken a mere HOURS before his jersey retirement was announced:

“They are like maggots to me, vermin. Less than, really. Hmm? Oh, the Trail Blazers, or should I say the GALE-FORCE-WIND OF SUCK Blazers. I wish I could go back in time, meet their pregnant mothers, rip open their belly and punch every single infant version of the Blazers management team and current players in their baby-face. Then, I’d kick them in the throat.”

“I AM TERRY MONTGOMERY PORTER. YOU DO NOT CROSS THIS AND LIVE. I’ll never forgive them what they did to me, and as long as I live revenge will be first and forefront on my mind. I will not rest until each and every Trail Blazer player, employee, owner, and fan are 6 feet under a pile of my own feces. I hate them with all of my soul, and will never ever say otherwise.”

Yeah… nice flip flop Terry. And we’re honoring this guy?!

first play, then sit?

isn’t that how it works for everyone? I’d think with only Chris Quinn and Super Nintento Chalmers on the Heat, this might actually be a game Sergio gets a little more burn in, especially with Roy not at 100%. Might even seem some Bayless if the Heat can’t stay competative.

ESPN just reported like seconds ago

That Nate is talking to the trainer and if he says it is better for Oden to start after shoot around and keep his foot warm, then he might start. That almost sounds made up to me. I think he’ll still come off the bench. Kind of just sounds like Nate beating around the bush with the media.

if he’s as “soft-emotionally” as it would seem he needs to start.

s/ otherwise we’ll be setting him back another year, as he’ll need some head shrinking /s

or we can just expect him to play like a regular smegular rookie… ;)

It just sounded like coach double talk. I’m sure he’s already talked to Jay Jensen and he knows what is up. It was ESPN, and they need something to talk about and build up the game that is on their channel. “Tune in to watch Oden come off the bench,” just doesn’t have that nice of a ring to it.

benching him would be like a punch in the face after what he’s done for us with oden out.

but joels a stoic vet.

he don’t have them sensible emotions, like greg does…

joel don’t back down to nobody, he just does what he’s told….I’ve yet to hear joel pout about anything other than a lose….EVER.

I think we should start oden, and PLAY like joel was in the game. Never pass the ball to the center.

seems to work with joel. and it won’t disrupt what’s been happening on offense.

no passes to oden until he can get 12 and 10 off of hustle play….THEN we can start using his offensive skill.

but starting joel would be the safe bet…I just don’t want gregs head to get all skrewed up…..

totally agree with this comment

Even though it goes against everything that would be logical. Even though Greg’s baskets are high percentage shots, its so much more important for the rest of our team to start clicking offensively. I think its more important to rely on Go to clean up the mistakes than to have him putting the ball through the hoop.

I agree

They said both Nate and Oden expects to play 15-20 minutes. Those are bench minutes. Don’t mess with the staring rotation until Oden can handle starting rotation minutes.

by tominhawaii on Nov 12, 2008 11:21 AM PST up reply actions  

don't start Oden.

the best reason for this has nothing to do with Joel or Greg, but with Brandon and LaMarcus. Those guys are comfortable with Joel and the one time they started with Greg, it seemed like they felt they had to play off him, and that didn’t work out well.

my 2 cents

2. I think that one day Rudy might be a better player than Roy, but in the end it will always be Roy’s team. Even if Roy doesn’t put up the numbers that Rudy does, or have as fast of a sprint time or vertical jump…he has a lot of intangibles that aren’t measurable. It’s debatable if Rudy is better than Roy, but Roy is by far more valuable to the team.

4. Joel isn’t on the all star list bc for 1 he wasnt expected to start and the list was composed before. 2 he isn’t an exciting player nor does he have the fan base to even get him a significant amount of votes. All star teams arent necessarily about the best players, but the most popular ones.

I read the Freedarko book yesterday

Interesting, funny, beautiful, and makes you not hate kobe nearly as much as you did before you started the book.

The book is definitely not for everyone, I think that you really have to be in to the NBA, probably have to have played a chunk of basketball, and also be a total stats geek to really get this book. I happen to be all of those things, and just thought it was great. Josh Smith and Gerald Wallace have a section that is definitely a must read.

No Blazers are profiled exclusively which makes complete sense in the context of this book, the players that are profiled are unique, proven individuals who bring (or have brought) something completely new and exciting to the game.

Excellent book, I would totally recommend it, and read it now before all of the players get traded, washed up, and/or change their game (The Almanac aspect of the book). You may disagree with what the book is saying, you may get lost in hyperbole and stylized writing, and you may just find this book ridiculous: BUT you will Never regret reading it.

I beg to differ.

Google searching the phrase “artistry per minute” brings TWO web page results. Unfortunately one of them is about “martial artistry per minute.”

However, the other page is a scintillating review of Gilles Apap’s new album, Apap Masala: Gilles Apap in India.

Having heard Apap perform Indian music in concert, I was a bit disappointed that he so frequently yielded the stage to his teachers. I doubt if anyone else will feel that way, however. There is as much artistry per minute in this film as anyone could possibly want.

The art of basketball

is absolutely what they go for. The stats are used in such creative and ridiculous ways, I am sure you will still love it.
Quick examples that use stats:

Tim Duncan’s stat line looks like the Fibonacci sequence.
Josh Smith and Gerald Wallace complete more unique playing sequences than any one else in the league.
Rasheed Wallace plays dramatically better after getting a Technical.
The Cancer that is Stephon Marbury. etc. etc.

i pray to God that Rudy never starts doing that.

I don’t want to start having to hate him. And imagine what would happen to Twiggs if Rudy became the type of girly-man flopper like Giflopli.

I would be so sad :(

I don’t think we have to worrry about that from him. He barely said anything when Howard almost threw him into the stands by his leg.

He drew a legit charge on Orlando on Monday.

I can’t remember who it was against, but Sergio stayed alongside, forcing the player into a standing Rudy. Blazers ball.

Ahem, shameless plug time.

I've got a plan......we lob up a bad shot that Dwight can block, but we do it in such a way that it hits either Rashard or Hedo in the head knocking them out for the game.

Look at that picture! He’ll win by a landslide if sexiness is factored in any way.

Don't know anything about PBC

I gather that’s the manufacturer? Google turns up some grainy graphics of some guitars, none of which looks like a telecaster. So is it a nice guitar?

If I ever buy a telecasterish axe, I think it will be a G&L. But I have too many instruments already gathering dust :(

Well, I still can't find anything out about this

But I did poke around on the site and saw some pretty interesting (and spendy!) guitars. Is this your shop? And are you a luthier?

I’m gonna split work, grab some to do food and head home for the game. Will check back later…

Two points and 3 rebounds in 2:25. He’s got one less point than Greg.

You are in the jersey pole position, though it might be a bit too early to celebrate.
I’m in it just for fun for the rest of the month since I was late for the Miami game. Probably never was in the running :-(

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
