Around SBN: Miikka Kiprusoff Wins 300th Game, Buffalo Crushes Boston

Junk Drawer - 17th

Junk Drawer - I guess apropriate for my first fan post, lol.

Any way, Ive been begging for bedgers to make my life easier by making your links open to a new window so as to not unmark unread comments. Discovery- If I hold cntrl when clicking on a link, the link will open to a new tab. Even better, by holding shift when clicking a link, the link will open to a whole new window with its own little bar at the bottem of my screen. This tech stuffs really cool

 

I will stop crying about links now, and posted this just incase there is another tech-tard out there like myself.

Third game in a row we play against talented bigs

But at least this time not NBA experienced bigs. Corey Brewer is on this team trying to get some burn for next year after a dud 1st year. He is a strong defender who will be a challenge for Batum and Bayless. Minny has Rodney Carney listed on the roster after the trade from 76ers and he will be a challenge for Bayless and Petko.

Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."

Let me get this straight

Normally Dave has a job and a mini point guard to take care of back home, where he writes long and thoughtful posts. Now he’s in Las Vegas, closer to team and media people than usual, attended a shoot around, a practice, and two games and we’re only getting posts with barely 500 words out of him. My guess is that all the extracurricular stuff he’s doing in Las Vegas isn’t Blazer’s Edge friendly.

(1) Go into a public restroom.

(2) Activate forced air blowdrier twice to get it revved up.

(3) When you fired it up the third time, shove your entire face through the opening and keep hitting the restart button when it slows down.

They consider themselves forward thinking in Portland from what friends tell me. Apparently they have this global warming issue handled. They’ve found ways to end your life as a profit making venture. And they’re hip to counter culture icons.

I tried that and no one would bite

It’s just like the one handed dribbling. I’ve been hanging out here for over a year and at Oregonlive since about 1998 and the first time I heard a concern about one handed dribbling, was just the other day in a Travis Outlaw article. After that, a few folks were concerned about Petteri Koponen’s right handed dribbling in the first summer league game.

I think there is a term for it and I cannot remember what it is. Basically its that term for not noticing something until someone points it out, and then you see them everywhere. I was like that with rainbow flags in San Francisco.

Adriana Lima has a fetish for guys whose two eyes actually touch. Who wants space between eyeballs, or a real mustache?

Not Lima, I guess.

And if we have to assume Jaric has a sparkling personality, which I doubt (he’s not American after all), then I’m going to hang myself. We can only hope, for there to be any justice in this world, that she is incredibly dumb and annoying. I don’t care how pretty you are, being dumb and annoying is sumthin’ that makes ANY lovely lady gross… over time, anyways. It’s fine at first of course, but if you’re gonna actually be around someone and marry ‘em, complete and total stupidity and annoyingness (maybe she likes Home Improvement?) ain’t worth the looks.

Unless she is annoying to be around, she is pretty enough for ‘wait till marriage’ ain’t a deal breaker.

Listen: this argument is going to get me flagged for sure.

You are given a slice of cake and it is delicious.

You go on enjoying an occasional piece of cake for several years. You come to fancy yourself a cake connoisseur.

You meet someone nice and you get to talking and it turns out this person doesn’t think it’s right to have cake and wants you to stop eating it for a year.

All you will think about for a year is cake.

Maybe Marco is an ascetic fellow. Maybe he’s a masochist. Maybe he has never had cake before.

In any case, he’s a different man than me. Although I’m not a man, so that was obvious.

Still, you follow me? Being forced to look at a beautiful cake for a year will just make you want a slice even more.

Not an once of body fat, and not a lot of muscell. it had me disapointed. Im more willing to let him go if he stays unwilling to work on his body. you could have put his shirt on a cardboard cutout, with the same effect. His frame is huge, so he could have a lot of muscell and still look think, but that just was not the case.

Seriously?!

“Ravenous” Travis?! AHHHHHHH!!!! I’ve made up my own little nick name for him and I hope it never sticks with anybody. It’s mine damnit. Really though? You’ll send his autograph to me? I hope you got one for yourself. Where did you meet him? Was it at the same place you got Brandon’s for me (thank you so much) last year? Will there a be a check with the autograph too?! (kidding . . . . . . . kind of) I’ll try and talk to you this weekend. I’m pretty busy today, and Friday, and I volunteered to work all day Saturday. Maybe we could connect on Sunday or something. Is your phone number the same? Thanks again!

by noaher on Jul 17, 2008 2:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

YES!!! w/check

yah same place. I got 2 of course, but he wasn,t as excited to talk to me as broy was. I think it was becouse of the blond girlz infront of me-I was a natural disappointment. Duckworth was sooo fricken fat and I compleetley ignored him, felt bad afterward. i told travis that you were the guy that talked me into liking the blazers and that you used him as the bait. he still seamed unhappy that I didnt have long flowing blond hair, or maybee it was the hungry smil and great curves she had…hmmph. I may never know.

That's hilarious . . .

“Duckworth was sooo fricken fat and I compleetley ingnored him, felt bad afterward.” I’m literally laughing out loud. I think it’s hard to meet famous people you really admire. For them, it’s like “oh, here’s another fan with another story” but for you obviously it’s a very different perspective. I think it’s hard not to be a little let down after meeting a famous basketball player you really admire, but I’m so glad that it happened. I think he’s really shy too. Besides, nobody is as cool as BRoy.

yah

it was after meeting him that I started thinking that it might be ok to let him go for the right upgrad, I want dang, and would be sooo happy, but if he was as skinny as travis, I would be lookin for Kevy, to have a nice heart to heart. And when I got out, I would peice my life back together in anouther state. I get soo tired of moving.

when I read roller coaster I actually got a little sickish in the tummy. If I could sell something I didnt believe in, it would be so much better couse then it wouldnt matter so much. but when people are just in need, it hurts when you do something that gets in there way of fealing confident about making a life changin decision. thanks. you still did better then me and when I top that I will most certainly let you know.

Lol, Latest Casey article on PK

Case in point: While watching the Blazers during the summer league, I’ve noticed Petteri Koponen (or “Pete” as many of the players and coaches have started calling him) does something a little strange when shooting. Koponen sticks his tongue out, almost without fail, when he shoots.

Some is fun (haiku) and weird (my own request for old wallace jersey) Overall we are the most knowledgeable fan base in all of history in all the world! Clearly we are soo far above any other team its nuts. Therefor im not sad to see posts fly off the page.

Haha, "I know right", was a meme at my HS last year

Also I don’t know there’s usually a lot of recycled posts, usually in regards to trades. Like as soon as Luol Deng got mentioned in some thread, he popped up everywhere. I think I’m going to post some random diaries soon, maybe an art thread or something, or a music thread.

Oh and is meme pronounced mem (like memory) or meem. I heard it was meem but that sounds gross.

Oh and because it’s topical

“Bayless, who had a heating pad on his back and ice on both knees after the game, wasn’t a slouch. He had 29 points on 8-for-15 from the floor, 13-of-16 from the line (that’s 55 attempts in three games), gave out two assists and grabbed six boards.”
