Gameday Open Thread -- Clippers

You're stuck with me tonight.  Dave just got called in for a tryout with the Clippers. Odds are looking good he will get a 10 day contract, assuming he can sufficiently impresss Mike Dunleavy with his crossover dribble. 

TONIGHT'S GAMETIME: 7:30PM PST ON COMCAST NW

Start your pregame discussion now... and we'll make it through our Davelessness together.

Who will be... ?

how does Shoals feel about the FDness of this team?

I have been trying to gauge his opinion, but I can’t decide if BRoy is the polar opposite of FD or the standard bearer. I think Nicolas, Travis, Rudy and Rex would probably rank highly on the FD list, I know that Jerryd was ranked higher than BRoy in their absract preseason rankings.

I can't reveal my sources

But this morning’s front page post by Fatty (via Dave) is just a precursor to a full out complete and total takeover of Blazers Edge by Fatty, as Dave retires to go write for Sports Illustrated’s new blogging feature, and Ben works on his book deal.

The success and activity of today’s post just confirmed what Dave suspected— the people want fatty, and he creates more posts and activity, which equals BIGGER DOLLAR DOLLAR BILLS.

So, as Fatty takes over, if you are not happy with it, you have yourselves to blame.

Congratulations is due to our future benevolent overlord of Blazers Edge, fatty!

Hey Ben and Dave!

I just spent a week visiting relatives out of state and had to navigate the internets on my Blackberry Browser. So not fun.

All I wanted was to find out when the Blazers start time was and if there was any national tv coverage. But navigating menus on the Blackberry. Argh.

I dunno about "scary places" in general, but "feared for my life..."

Sorry about the delay, I had a phone call—

If I can walk around, as a dumb white dude, and not get instantly attacked, then it can’t be TOO scary.

But I’ve had a few scary moments in various places. Certain parts of Eastern Europe are pretty rough, and enjoying the nightlife in Riga, Latvia, I’d never seen so many out n’ out fistfights in one night. Morocco had some scary moments too, but only a few times did I fear for my life.

Ok, in Estonia, I found my way to an underage brothel (long story, was an accident), and I got threatened by the Russkie guard to either pay to sex up a girl, or pay him. I said I wanted to do neither, short story shorter I got attacked and with my friends I ran away on the cobble stone streets, while the guards and their taxi driver chased us. They had guns that they did not fire. We ran a long time.

In Morocco, one day in Marrakesh, I was being followed by two locals. They thought they were slick but they were not. I’d sit outside at a place to get a drink, they’d circle and not-subtly-enough stare at me. I tried to lose them halfheartedly, and they followed me to my hotel, and upon remembering my 2 dollar hotel room had a recently kicked in door that was repaired with cardboard, I decided not to stop at my hotel and to keep walking and to try to lose them for realz.

I somehow lost them in one of those huge bazaars that I guess even locals can get lost in. I didn’t see them again. Not really a “fear for your life” thing, but I knew I could be an obvious target in a place like that.

I worked for the BBC a little bit for the San Fermin festival (Running of the Bulls), and that led to me getting a job managing some apartments there for a few weeks (lucked into both gigs). They do the run each morning for a week, and I ran 3 times, and the first run I saw a guy get gored 10 feet in front of me, real bad— horns pierced through his tummy.

While managing those apartments, part of my job was to take guests out to party. I took them to a crappy outdoor rap concert, and it was real big n’ crowded n’ lame. We weren’t liking it much (me and some ladies and boys), we start weaving through the crowd to leave, and a lil’ Spanish dude grabs one of the girls’ boobs. In a chivalrous-but-dumb act, I push the guy away, and he slaps me, and I punch him and knock him to the ground without thinking. Now HERE, I actually was afraid— even though I was bigger than everyone at a towering-for-Spain height of 6’1", I was surrounded by like 30 of his friends and an obvious outsider. I thought I was gonna get beat down, HARD.

The friends just laughed and told me to go on, which was a huge sigh of relief, and my anger at myself for being macho subsided.

I’ve been “shot at” in Portland 3 times— a drive by, after a basketball game where a guy was angry he lost, and at a party. I was not the specific target, but it was my direction, unluckily enough.

Oh, also, in Morocco, I got really sick. I had the symptoms of malaria, but kept coming back negative with the tests. I ended up in an Italian hospital, and the docs and nurses were all scared of me because I kept shaking and having crazy temperatures. I got moved to a nicer hospital, and was put in the infectious wing until they could figure out what I had.

That was a weird time. They never figured out what it was, I spent two weeks in the hospital, and went on my way. The fevers and shakes and stomach stuff was really painful, but it saved me a lot of money on my budget since the hospital was free.

I like having experiences though.

That's a looong story

I’ll start to write mine, and if I finish before tip-off I’ll hit post. It isn’t as good as any of your stories though.

I was visiting my father in El Paso during spring break in 12th grade, and at the time he was living with a woman that had three daughters, one of whom was my age. She asked me if I wanted to hang out with her and her friends and I agreed. We ended up at a house party at the home of some people she knew. I was the only non-Mexican (not that this matters, it just enhances the story) but I’m still latino enough so it was cool. The girl whose house we were at was gushing over how I was from the “big city” of Portland, and asking me what urban life was like. El Paso has a bigger population than Portland but I did not point this out. After a while my sort of stepsister told me the girl liked me, but that her boyfriend was there. I had not been aware of the fact that the girl had a boyfriend to that point. In the meantime, people were getting drunk (except me, for I knew where this evening was headed…plus I’m a Josh Howard guy anyhow) and this other girl kept trying to grind all on me. She gave up and told me that I was boring in Spanish. Soon after this, I was questioned about my gang affiliation and informed that the males at the party are Crips, and soon after that I am told that girl #1’s boyfriend is in a back room, and wants me to go talk to him. Turns out he just wanted to watch a Knicks/Sonics game with me for some reasons. That portion turned out well, but the night ended with me stranded in the projects.

Oh Snap

That reminds me. I found a phone number on an ATM receipt. I called it and a woman answers and after a little talking, she invited me to a party. I picked her up a few hours later and she asked me to stop by her friends house on the way to the party. The friend was a huge guy and she asked me for $20 to buy some crack. I said I wasn’t going to give her money for that and the huge guy raised his voice and said, “Why don’t you by your lady some crack?” I gave her $20 bucks, they went out the back door and as soon as they shut the door, I ran out the front door all they way to my car.

Do they have to take a small forward?

Probably. It could come down to Melo or KD in the West. Amlmart had a nice fanshot about some candidates.
I would like to see Roy of course, and Jason Terry from the Mavs (6th man of the year).

In the East it comes down to how many guys from the Magic, Nets and Celtics you want to put on the team.

by Norsktroll on Jan 26, 2009 6:44 PM PST up reply actions  

Yes, though the beginning of the season counts against him

But post-season honors maybe, if the once-Sonics keep up the stronger play. Scotty Brooks is doing a great job. Their defensive intensity much much better than it was. Durant is rebounding! And Krstic is fitting in well.

I hate that they are doing well by the way.

We've got about 100 Canadian geese hanging out in the ryegrass field behind our house. Cool stuff...

When they fly overhead you can hear this “whoosh-whoosh-whoosh” sound of their wings flapping. It’s one of the really cool sounds in the world…

All they do is walk around pooping on everything. They’re a nuisance out here.

I love watching Clippers games on TV down here in LA. The Clippers guys have given up on pretending that the Clippers are any good. It’s like they freely admit that the only reason to watch Clippers games is because they play other NBA teams. Totally jocking Roy, Oden and Aldridge. Even Pritchard. They had a whole graphic thing with “Blazers Building Blocks” charting out all of Pritchard’s smart moves (including trading Z-bo! ha). They have no interest in talking about the Clippers.

Bayless hates giving it up. But when the fourth quarter rolls around, you have to pry the ball from Outlaw’s hands unless he’s putting it up himself. Although he does usually put it down in the final minutes.

I hate this

trap game written all over it

Jerryd Bayless = Marlo Stanfield
- Early stage Marlo at this point, but Bayless is the emotionless killer new to the game. He will take over, and there will be causalties – it’s just a matter of time.

WHAT'S ROY'S PROBLEM!!!!

1. he never ever throws the ball to oden on the low block….
2. he always skrews up the simplest play in the books….
3 he always skrew up the simplest play in the books….
4. HE ALWAYS SKREWS UP THE SIMPLEST PLAY IN THE BOOKS!!!!

This is the Blazers MO – poor start, but they have a very good point differential per posession;

the team plays the numbers and usually “walks teams down” in the end.
