PrintThis is my first Drawer of Junk and I will not talk about Rudy because it is not all for me about Spanish players. I won´t say that he’s a good passer, shooter, slasher and all that stuff. I keep silence even about his good Olympic performance. I´m not a homer. This is not about Rudy. This is not about Sergio neither about Ricky Rubio nor even about the Portland Trail Blazers. I repeat myself, I AM NOT A HOMER! Well, now that this is established, we can start talking about Spain itself :-) You can comment whatever you want about Spain because You have a postcard from Spain.

Remember when 92wastheyear had a junk drawer with only 35 comments?
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
Yeah, I think I´m going for the record. Less comments ever.
Actually it was only a way to start the Junk, everybody can throw whatever here. But the matter is that tomorrow I´ll end my holidays so today I have to dig my own grave.

We should talk about shoes
I’m wearing brown Saucony shoes.
Kind of like this.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
Or we can talk about boobs
I like boobs.
This is my seed for getting some of this thread deleted.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
I think I´m gonna change the Drawer of Junk for The Graveyard of Bedge.
I wear Lumberjacks in holidays. Kind of …
They are soft like boobs and have laces or pompons too.

I had a brand new pair of black Reef slippers
And they were stolen from in front of my apartment the other night. I got home late and they were gone by 9:00 AM. I think it was the paper boy. I have Friday off and plan on confronting him that day. I hope he’s dumb enough to wear them. I imagine he’ll wear sneakers though. Either way, I plan on using profanity.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
Nice
I plan on following him around and asking him what paper he works for and a few other things. Just so he knows I know he’s a thief. I might complain to his employer too. I just want to make sure only one paper boy is on our floor in the morning before I get rude like.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
I remember a contest we had...
… for the Control Room watch during a Med cruise. We were trying to see how many terms we could come up with for boobs.

LEAST comments ever, not "less comments ever"
I hope you don’t mind me correcting you. Your progress in learning English is admirable, but you still make Spanish homer mistakes.
The perfect is the enemy of the good.

That is not a fair comparison….that happened way back when there was hardly anyone on the site and it was offseason…..and midweek. Whatever, man (starts sobbing)!!

Whilest i'm posting pictures
A few peeps were talking about Beasley’s hummer a couple days ago, and were curious what everyone on our team drives. This is what Roy used to drive. It went up on eBay last year and sold for about 30k as I recall. I can’t find any pictures of the interior, but let me tell you, it was sweet. All custom seats with “7” sown in the headrests…it was really nice. And as you can see, he luvs the red and black.

I was at a game last year
And went to the parking area to get someone to sign my Roy bobble-head. I think everyone had SUVs, but I don’t remember any Hummers. I think because the players are so tall they tend to use SUVs, also there might be an insurance angle too.

amlmart1,
If you aren’t gonna talk about Rudy, who will?? Nobody else ever talks about him

Our head of NBA scouting did. Look on the Courtside blog or in the Mac 10 thread where I posted a link and summary
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
My name is Nobody.
I also talk about Rudy when I say I won´t talk about Rudy. ;-)

I went to Spain way back in ’92. I was in Barcelona for the Olympics and had a great time. I have always wanted to get back there and explore more of the country.

nw division
its nice to have crappy teams in your division but now that the sonics are gone how long are they going to stay in our division? oky isnt exactly in the nw. or are they waiting for the hornets to wash up in seattle. that wouldnt be as hot for us. but at least they would have a team.
There have been some discussions about that
Since OKC now has more to travel, despite coming out of the north-west corner, due to more games against division rivals that are farther away. I guess eventually they will end up in some sort of new south-west division. But usually the NBA takes some time to make these far-reaching decisions.
There were also some fanposts about this issue in the past, e.g. here:

Today, we are all Hornets

That’s an amazing way to think for fans of an opposing city. Go New Orleans, be strong!

What starts with an "H" and smells like patchouli?
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
Horse poop? I hate the smell of patchouli.

I was wearing a similar shoe all morning
only it was a Vasque brand, not Danner. It’s the boot I wear when I’m flying hot air balloons as it’s waterproof pretty much up to the ankles and I have, on occasion landed a bit too hard on the Willamette and got more water into the basket than I wanted and it sucks having wet socks the rest of the morning.
And I wanted to contribute at least one comment to our Spanish friend’s junk drawer as I kill time in the afternoon.
Cheers.

I heard some
Rumbles that the GS managment isnt buying Monta Ellis’s story about how he tweaked his ankle.anybody have any info?

There was one story claiming they would send the team trainer to investigate, but that was just a rumor since he is in South Africa
The question seems to be: Did he injure himself in a controlled workout (on his own or with other NBA players) or in some uncontrolled pickup game with his buddies. Doesn’t change anything about his injury, but if his new large contract says something like “no pickup games” they might hold him accountable.
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
Maybe we can lift the number of comments by involving our female audience?
Nicolas Batum said goodbye to his former teammates in LeMans before he left for Portland. He had declined an invitation to play for the French national team this fall in order to focus on training with the Blazers. Regarding the draft, he said he had hoped to be selected in the top 15, and after the rumors about his heart conditions came up he considered pulling out of the draft and returning to France instead. He knows that he “has to show teeth” to make it in the NBA. Seems to be his favorite imagery, since he also talks about the Blazers being a deep team without fear of any opponent, but having to “show large fangs” to make it to the playoffs this year. Mhm, maybe he can talk with Greg about dentistry.

The last few days. Plus, due to Batum being strictly BlazerFan1’s main squeeze, I am unable to comment on the adorableness that is Batum. So, next time do two seperate photos. One with Nicolas and one with Rudy please. Thanks for looking out though!

Es muy bueno, pero quiero saber donde estan todos los castillos y ciudades. No es como Oregon!
NBA TV recently showed game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals
as well as game 7 of the 1990 WC semi’s. After watching both of those games I really miss that team.
Porter lit it up in the playoffs. Kersey, that guy was a force of nature. He was everywhere. Blocking shots, steals, raining jumpers, dunking and the way he and Buck would grab rebounds with such force and tenacity. If someone got too close they would get an elbow sandwich They feared no one. I would like to see that tenactiy and attitude on our current team. Some nice guys off the floor who are demons on the floor. That was such a special team. They were very physical and they owned the boards.
I'm a little confused by your tactics

ESPN presents the Summer Forecast: MVP, ROY, best and worst newcomers
Greg and Rudy get some love. Somebody wanting to make a fanpost for discussion?
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=Awards-080901
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
Oden will win ROY in a landslide
By comparison, no one will even know who Michael Beasley is by the end of the season.
Asked his specialty in the kitchen, Oden paused and said, "Hamburger Helper and tuna fish."
Sergio will win rookie of the year
Because everyone forgot about him, they won’t realize it is his third year.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
He might qualify for the pretty undefined "Best Newcomer" category
What was that all about? You can be a rookie and a newcomer? Does Rudy qualify because he changed his team like the others? Well, except Marbury, what makes him a newcomer? You can nominate a coach (great pick btw)?
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
I don't know what I think I know
I know that I thought Sergio would be around for Rudy. Now I think Sergio will be around as the 2nd string point guard, because there is no way in hell that he is so stupid, to not at least learn enough, to convince Nate, that he should be the 2nd string PG with OUTLAW AND RUDY.
I know within my prostate, that one day Bayless will be the starter and Blake the back up. So that means that Sergio gets traded. The Blazers will start the season with Sergio as the second point guard off the bench.
I will castrate myself with a rusty plastic knife and become a Laker fan, if Bayless starts the season as anything above the 2nd string point guard.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
Mhm
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/teams/depth?team=por
Now is Bayless our third SG, or second PG?
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
I dunno...
…but plastic dun’t rust 
"He doesn't let grass grow under his feet when there are points to be had." - Dave
Pshhhhhhhhhh
Rudy is the first SG off the bench.
Sergio is the first PG off the bench.
Bayless gets the scraps after that.
An ESPN intern made that depth chart.
Like I said, all along, Bayless is the future.
Sergio is the present 2nd string.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
I would love to know which GM intern made this depth chart of my other team
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/teams/depth?team=dal
Unfortunately I fear it was the GM himself.
Donnie Nelson: Yeah, uhm, Mark, I talked to coach Carlisle, and we think we need more small forwards.
Mark Cuban: I just bought you Gerald Green, and James Singleton, and extended Antoine Wright
Donnie: And I am grateful for that. But you know, they are unproven and Green is a slight head case, so I want some veterans around him.
Cuban: Like who?
Donnie: I want to bring back Devean George
Cuban: George? The dude is old, can’t defend anyone, doesn’t hit his shots anymore
Donnie: Yes, I know. But he won championships with the Lakers
Cuban: He blocked my grandiose trade for Jason Kidd that will win us championships
Donnie: Uhuh (thinks: whatever you say)
Cuban: That cost me $11 million to bring back Van Horn out of retirement to finally get it done. So I hate his agent
Donnie: Can I offer him 2 years, 4.2 million?
Cuban: Yeah why not. Give him a player option for the second year, too.
Donnie: Consider it done, boss
Cuban: Oh, and tell Carlise to make the training camp very hard. Maybe at least we get rid of Eddie Jones that way. Boy what a wasted exception. Now leave me alone while I buy me some Cubs.
Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."
Yeah
It’s kind of crazy in Dallas. I have no idea what is going on over there.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
If that happens
Than Sergio has really improved his game and that is good.
If Sergio is the same Sergio we know and tolerate, then he won’t play. Too many good players who can do what he does best, at least reasonably well, and do all of the things he CAN’T do very well.
In my estimation, anyways.
That’d be nice if he came on strong though. A dude with that court vision who is at least a passable shooter and not a complete train wreck defensively wouldn’t be too bad. I got the feelings in my pants, however, that if our team wasn’t run by gentleman and scholars that Sergio wouldn’t have gotten a shooting coach out to him this summer, and Sergio woulda’ done nothing but his own thang in the Canary Islands. No way to know otherwise since he DID get a coach out there, but that’s my feelin’. Most teams don’t have the resources to send their best (only?) shooting coach to a remote island for the 13th guy on the roster, and I hope Sergio gets that they want him to do well.
Without any couching, he maybe coulda’ still came into camp in shape, but not improved.
I think he was in the exact same boat Webster was in, and Webster went and got his head on straight(er), and worked real hard on his game and came in the best shape out of anyone and won his job. He took that ‘lost my role who am I" challenge and met it, at least so far (we’ll see how he does with any more emergence of Outlaw or Bayless/Rudy).
Sergio didn’t seem to do the same, but what do I know. The dumb season hasn’t even started yet, and the new-ish Martell didn’t show up till pre-season.

model-t's diary
Isn’t it crazy that she wrote that post? I don’t want to take away from the post or anything like that. Just the fact that she wrote it, is amazing to me.
It is crazy how big this blog is. This place is amazing sometimes. I never thought a Blazer, a former Blazer, or companion/life-partner/wife/friend/confidant of a Blazer or former Blazer, read this blog, or would post a diary here.
It makes me wonder if people would call Raef LaFrentz “RLEC,” or talk so much trash about current players, if they knew that person they are smack talking, read this blog, or knew someone who read this blog.
I like to think that when people trash the Blazers, write them off, or think about trading them, that they treat their children the same way. I know they don’t, because no child deserves a parent like that, I just like to think that their children hate them.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."

I think about this a lot. I'm a big fan of civility.
I’m pretty sure the teams tell players to NOT read internet forums, but still, you never know about their friends and family. Jeez, what if Jarrett Jack’s momma has been lurking? The thought of it makes me feel kinda dirty.
Here I am, hiding behind an internet pseudonym. Does that give me the right to totally trash someone? To say something on a screen that I wouldn’t say to their face? I hope that, for the most part, I err on the side of being civil and respectful.
I talk trash about Tom In Hawaii, what's the difference?
"TominHawaii's real name is Hubert and he's a rancher in Burns."
And you listen to the Jonas Brothers.
The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."
Does anyone here know if Rip City Magazine still exists?
I know they hand out those little mini-versions at games, but all those are essentially game programs.
I remember Rip City was once an actual magazine you could subscribe to, and pick up on newstands, but now it seems to be gone. Anyone know?
