12/12 Junk Drawer - "losing streak" zen style
by Gargen on Dec 12, 2008 12:11 AM PST
Email
PrintI was upset about losing two in a row, but then I realized how cool it is to be upset about losing two in a row.
I admit that is somewhat mood voodoo and not very championshiply of me to say, but I'm only worried about being playoffshiply this year so... meh.
Of course if we lose to the Clippers, all zen bets are off... but that's not gonna happen so I don't need to worry about it.

The Clips game is the biggest game of the year to this point
2nd of a back to back, at the end of a brutal stretch. A game we really need in order to get our confidence back. Big.
Boomshakalaka
Not the biggest.
I think the San Antonio win was enormous. A loss could have sent us plummeting down toward a horrible November.
But yeah. We really, really need a win.
Then we get til Tuesday to practice and rest. That’ll be nice.

what about Houston?
The ESPN boys were saying that may have been the shot that saved our season. Instead of dropping to 1-3, we went 2-2 and had a ton of momentum and Brandon broke out of his slump on that shot.

I heard the ESPN guys say that too
And while I know they’re paid experts and all, I still have to say that I think that’s it’s still a little early for season-saving. To say that a loss there would’ve wrecked the season or started a slump shows little confidence in the team and that’s one thing, win or lose, I have going this year—off the charts, retarded confidence… except I get kind’ve nervous when Blake has to play D or when Channing wanders out into three-point land… and when Greg rattles off three fouls in like five seconds to open the second quarter… you know… stuff like that…
no doubt
You can’t really say that any one game makes or breaks you season.

Bynum is frustrated that he doesn't play late in games
Jackson blames his poor defense for that. Apparently Greg is not the only unhappy young future center star right now ;-)
Viva la Rudylucion
Bynum and Oden both need to worry more about rebounding and blocking shots
and let LMA and Gasol be the low post/pick-and-roll threats. Play like Kendrick Perkins and Joel. All they do is rebound, block shots, and play solid D. The rest will follow.
If Greg or Przy aren’t effective, I’m not opposed to playing small with LMA and Trout @ the 4 and 5 like we did with Orlando and just go to a zone defense.
No offense
But the zone against Orlando was TERRIBLE. There’s a reason they were able to hit so many threes

So true
Bynum, Amare Stoudamire… I can’t believe how much players complain about their situations. They are never The Man enough or respected enough.
Back in the day, you would shut up and play harder. Now you whine to the press. It’s sad how far the balance of power has shifted in pro sports. I guess I can respect that part of Phil Jackson in that he still runs the team and isn’t just a Yes-Man like most NBA coaches (Nate is also in the minority with Phil, of course).

Nate's apparent "solution" is to play without a center at all...

Ref's don't call a kick ball from a Przybilla entry pass to LmA...
Third quarter, good ball movement. Going into LaMarcus with good post position, Okur just sticks his foot out and the we barely recover…
Roy is on the other side of the floor just tossing his arms up in the air as if to ask “Are you guys even paying attention tonight? They are hacking, slapping, throwing their bodies into us… and you won’t even call a blatant kick ball!?!? That’s it, I’m going for 30 and you better not stop me!”

On DirecTV, my KGW feed definitely wasn’t in HD..and my TNT was a bit ‘fuzzy’ .

You shouldn't worry about the playoffs too much
As the Blazers sit at a 96% chance of making it according to coolstandings.com
4% chance of not making it!
That’s it, fire Nate and trade Outlaw! Roy need to share the ball more! Sergio should start! We need more vets to steadily push us back to 100%.
Wait, I might be a month too late for these comments…
;)
Oden and LaMarcus and Roy, oh my!
Time off
Portland will bounce back you can just see the team is very tired, so many new players getting acclimated to the nba and throw in maybe the hardest starting schedule in Blazers history and we are in great shape.
I am not confidant about the clips game maybe that have one last surge in them but I would bet most of the team just wants to get a day off.

they are not a playoff team. I predict a close loss tonight

Why ya think we ain’t a playoff team though?
I don’t mind the sentiment, just wondering what the reasons are.

I think we shoot way to many outside shots and we dont drive to the hole enough. If we could get a pg that can get to the whole then i would change my prediction.

we could be championship material this year
I just think if we live and die with the long ball we are finished. I want this team to have some toughness. If we could get a pg that gets to the paint and can either score or distribute I think we could see a complete turn around. I feel that even Odens points would jump 5pts a game
by blazerchamp on Dec 12, 2008 10:52 AM PST up reply actions
ok, so put another way
you think we’re a playoff team, but not yet an elite team or a title contender. I totally agree. the thing to remember, though, is that even the elite teams don’t win all of their games against the rest of the elite (that’s why they’re, err, elite). even Jordan’s 72-win Bulls lost over 12% of the time, including a two-game losing streak (just the one) and a blowout loss to the Knicks by 32.
that being said, the Clips are bad bad bad, and we’re playing at home after two losses (including the first home loss). so I’ll say tired legs carry Portland to a close win.
look i dont want to be seen as anti blazer
but tonite the blazers are tired, they havent played good ball the last 3 games, and im sure that morale is low
by blazerchamp on Dec 12, 2008 10:54 AM PST up reply actions
it could easily go either way
either they continue to slump, or they’re fired up enough to grit out the win. they’re going to look tired, no doubt, so I think we learn a lot about the character of this team right now at tonight’s game. are they going to let themselves play tired and lose a game they should win, or are they going to buckle down and take care of business? my feeling is that because this team reflects Nate and Roy so much, they’ll want a win tonight bad enough to overcome fatigue. but fatigue could win out too, which would be understandable, but disappointing.
yes i can be completly wrong
the blazers have had a very rough schedule so far
by blazerchamp on Dec 12, 2008 11:00 AM PST up reply actions
Roy, McMillan, KP thought the Orlando game was "good ball"
Except for the last 2 minutes, which is very uncharacteristic of this years team. On the other hand, the guys didn’t get home until after 2 am this am, so fatigue could definitely play a role tonight. Thank goodness for a deep bench.
It's not a losing streak yet!!!!
It’s only been two games in a row. That’s not a streak!
At least, that’s what my coach used to say. A streak is at least three games. Two games is just consecutive losses…
In end though, it’s just semantics.

I think I can agree with that...
Maybe more people need to remember it’s still ridiculously early, Utah’s a hard spot to play in and these are two losses—close ones too!—after a long road trip. The freaking loss at home the other night sucked though. I hate that kind of lameness.
let basketbawful soothe you
Let me just point out the obvious here: Nobody ever intends to bank a three from straight away. Nobody. Never. It’s an accident 100 percent of the time, unless you’re attempting a trick shot in HORSE. Losing on a banked triple from the top of the key — and trust me, it’s happened to me countless times in pickup ball — is one of the most agonizing ways to drop a ballgame. And Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, who’s always quick with a quip, knows it: “That was just brilliant, brilliant coaching down the stretch. If you’re [the Blazers], you’ve got to roll your eyes, because we threw one in.”
meant for Arby above
now I’ve timbo’d myself
I hear you on that. They should’ve stopped the clock and said, “Wait, wait, wait… hit it from that same spot three more times without the backboard and we’ll count it, otherwise you boys take the loss.” It’s a tough one to lose on but it just sucked the life out of me for a few seconds.
I’m human (yes, really) and like most humans, I have feelings (though not really, just when sports are concerned). Anyway, losses like that one (even though they’re just a loss in the long run) always mess with me and remind me how I felt watching the Pistons and Bulls stomp all over my dreams as a child. I just have a troubled sports history I guess. However, I’m not one of the chicken little “the sky is falling (aka-TRADE OUTLAW/BLAKE/WHOEVER HAD A BAD GAME LAST NIGHT!!!!1 GRARARARARRRR!!!)” types. Just to be clear…

They did.
It was either last season or the season before… they had the throwback night. I was at the game but tivo’d the broadcast because they at least did some of it with old school graphics.
Anyone else remember it?
Have they done it since Nate came to town?
I know we’ve done it plenty of times before, and I bought my lucky old school headband on one of those throwback nights. But, that was years ago… likely during Cheeks last few games and stuff (maybe even the KP interim coaching era).
Nate started his NO HEADBANDS rule because of a Sonics turn-back-the-clock night gone awry, where he decided everyone cared too much about how they looked (with pulled up socks and headbands and other ironic accessories), so he might blame Old Skool nights as the cause of all that is wrong with America (to better understand it, think of it as what gay marriage is to us… capable of destroying society as we know it. That’s what old school night is to Nate).
So… hmm. I know we’ve done them, just can’t remember the last time we did it. It’s been a while though.
Mortimer
I swear it was done in the Nate era. Can anyone vouch for this or am I just insane and mixing up my seasons?
You could be right
I just think it would have to be way early in the Nate era, like the 21 win season…
I don’t think we’ve had a turn back the clock night since we drafted Roy. I could be wrong, but I always linked the lack of those nights with Nate’s hatred of the past and all of it’s accessories. He is a modern, forward thinking man.
Not that I’m an expert on all things involving a clock turned backwards, I just don’t remember seeing it… and with me League Pass, I’ve seen every single game since Roy-Toy was drafted. That was only 2 years ago though, so it wouldn’t have been that long ago. My best guess is that it was either the season before Nate was sent from Heaven, or during that first gloriously well played 21 win season.
But I can’t say FOR SURE, since it’s one of those things I coulda’ overlooked. I WOULD STEAKUMS MY LIFE ON MY GUESS BEING CORRECT THOUGH.
Mortimer
I could be wrong, but I always linked the lack of those nights with Nate’s hatred of the past and all of it’s accessories. He is a modern, forward thinking man.
I once saw him at Powell’s downtown, furiously punching, kicking, tearing and biting every history book they had in stock. It was amazing. He absolutely hates the past.
Roy-Toy
If this were an answer to a question on Jeopardy, it would go a little something like this:
“What is the creepiest nickname for Brandon Roy EVER?”
I WOULD STEAKUMS MY LIFE ON MY GUESS BEING CORRECT THOUGH.
Really? A death bet? You think I’ll shy away from it? No way, man. One of our families is going to be really sad that we were wrong about this, and I think it’s gonna be your fam.
Can anyone else help us out here?
I still liked it
Nate punched Channing in the throat when Frye asked Nate how his morning was. HE HATES THE PAST.
If you STAKE your life on something, you would pay with death if wrong. If you STEAKUMS your life on something, you get delicious Steakums if incorrect.
Jokes on you anyways because my family HATES ME. So HAH.
I’d love if Roy-Toy catches on.

mmm... steakums...
I think it would be cool if Nate just punched Channing in the throat for no real reason at all. I could get behind some random Nate-flying-off-the-handle business popping off. That’d be pretty awesome.

Ooph is all I can say. That was really lame.
Mortimer
PS: Well, they got Derrick Rose, so it ain’t all bad. He’s purty sweet.
Kind of...
I don’t like that coaches can step onto the court with the ball near them. I see that as an automatic technical. Say a team is at home, closing out a game, the crowd is going wild and the away team can’t hear him, so he jumps out a little to get his players to notice his calls. Not cool, the crowd is giving the home team a legitimate advantage and the coach is breaking the rules to try to overcome the advantage. His players need to be able to find him on the sideline and know the call, which means they might have to turn their head and risk getting burned.
But yelling at them? Considering truehoop’s recent post on KG (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-37-45/Kevin-Garnett-s-Big-Mouth.html), a coach yelling at an opposing player seems like nothing. I think KG acts like a bit of a bully, but it is a head game on some level (not sure if it’s for him, his teammates, or the opponent). But a bench should be able to yell to distract, call a play they see, call out a rotation, call a foul they see, etc.

Want to hear a sad story?
Yesterday after the storm broke, I took my dog on a walk. He chased a small yellow bird (I think a Honeycreeper or some sort of finch) from behind a tree that flew about two feet then stopped, my dog jumped at it again, and the bird landed in the street. I went over and picked up up, took it home, and put it in a box. I got him some food and I was going to release him today after the storms passed.
I checked oh him a few times and he was sleeping like birds do with his head tucked into his wings. When my wife got home, we checked on him and he was dead. I gave him to my cat and my cat played with him for about 30 minute then I threw it off my lanai to complete the circle of life.
Isn’t that sad?
so you suffocated him in the box?
thats not sad, tom, that’s MURDER

Finding injured birds is the WORST social obligation ever. I mean, you can’t just leave the poor diseased jerk sitting there. You always have to pick it up and basically tell him, “Hey, how about you come to my house and die slowly in a shoe box with one of my old t-shirts in the bottom of it? Sound good?”
I think since childhood I’m 0-17 trying to save birds. I’m the Detroit Lions of saving birds. Sad but true.
I saw a young bird the other day and I ignored it
The next day it was road jerky. I could have made a difference in that birds life and he is dead because of me. I didn’t want that to happen again. The guild would have consumed me and driven me to madness.
I once stopped to help a turtle cross the road , only to find out that
this monster was a snapper, and yes it is true they can reach all the way back to their tails…I have fast hands fortunately…finnaly got it to bite into a piece of cardboard and it held on to that as I carried it across…In hindsight, I mighta been better to let it be squished – - it was a pretty dangerous critter..
lol
It’s so hot today that I’m sweating while cleaning out my closets. That little bird would have been so happy today, sitting on my shoulder while I do housework.
D'oh
If you had named the bird that name right when ya found him, NO WAY would it have died.
THAT NAME IS FOREVER.
I’m gonna get a cat one day and name him Tiberius J. Kittensworth the III, because no way can a cat named Tiberius J. Kittensworth the III EVER die, and I wouldn’t have to be sad.

I’m going to go hold my cat over the lanai edge and then save it from a homicidal maniac.
I dunno, it's gross maybe?
I love that the typo on your message automatically made me read it in my head with my best possible Sabonis-broken-english voice. Oh, and you’re a jerk for being in Hawaii right now. I would trade places with that dead bird to be in temps above 50 for about a day or so. That’d be a-ok.
sick Portland weather today is DISGUSTING
it’s freezing but not cold enough to snow, just super windy, rainy w/ some frozen pieces in it and overal stupid. Ugh, I want to go home and sleep

I just liked the dip-stick thing they came with.
Sure, it was pure sugar, but it was deeeeelicious. I could eat my own skeleton if it was made out of that stuff.
I KNOW! I always eat them first, then think " what do I do w/ the flavored sugar?"

And if we're talking candy, who knows about some Zotz?

God I am bored today.
To amuse myself I will now post excerpts from our latest Kobestoppers running diary in the hope it will entice you hard to please BEdgers.
-Apparently Craig Sager just talked to the "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" about metronomes. I can’t imagine a more exciting conversation. Isn’t that the group that does "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor"? I love that song.
11:12 – Kyle Korver hits a jumper. The announcers call him "the former Missouri Valley Conference player of the year." Isn’t that kind of like being the used Kia dealership salesman of the month? I…I guess that’s…good.
8:00 – Two easy Ronnie Brewer lay ups. The screen shows us that the Jazz lead the fast break points battle 22-4. God. Deron Williams looks like his old self again. And by old, I mean balding. What is he, like 24? I smell a huge Rogaine advertising contract. How fitting. I hate the Jazz.
-This commercial where Lebron’s friend gets his car broken into really irks me. Not only does LBJ openly discuss leaving his hometown team in 2010, but he dances while his friend calls his insurance agent after his car is broken into. Remind me why they want him in New Yo…actually that would fit perfectly in New York. Never mind.
There you go. Head here for the full thing if you’re mind-bogglingly Friday bored like me.

Great set of quotes:
They LOVE them some Family Circus in Salt Lake City.
Sidenote: This led to the following conversation between Mike and me:
Mike: "Oh man! Jeffrey mispronounced spaghetti!!! Hahaha! PUHSKETTY!"
Me: "Look at the HILARIOUS route Billy took to get home from school!"
Mike: "That’s not the shortest way! BILLY!"

Someone should tell the Clippers to Run to The Hills. Because their butts are grass, and the Blazers are on them like flies on rice.
Hello
This is my first try at using speech recognition software, now I don’t have to worry about spelling. Laugh out loud! It is actually more difficult at the moment, but I’m hopeful with continued use, they will become more intuitive.
Travis please save us
