Weekend Junk Drawer

PrintSo what the heck does Rasheed do to get so darn many technical fouls? He already has 12(!) this season, which averages out to 1 every 2.33 games. Is the FreeDarko book to blame for this? He gets a one game suspension when he gets to 16 technical fouls (I believe) and then a one game suspension for every technical foul after that (All of this information comes from espn's weekend dime). But what could he be possibly doing to get all of these T's??
I mean KG is taunting, trash talking, and throwing cheap elbows and he isn't getting these technical's called. Is it because Rasheed talks to the refs instead of the other players? Is this was a technical foul is supposed to be? The defense of the refs from having to hear someone complain? Or is a technical foul supposed to protect the players on the court from an egregious breaking of the rules?
Anyways feel free to completely ignore these questions, as this is the Weekend JD, but I am kind of perplexed as to what Rasheed (12) could possibly be doing that is so much worse than KG (4)...

MRI for Roy, per Freeman
results pending.
http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/01/roy_undergoes_mri_results_pend.html
Hope for the best. If he’s out for very long, we’re screwed.

This will end up in its own thread later today I bet.
Without Brandon, the team relies heavily on LMA, Oden, Rudy, and Nate. I’m not sure any of them are ready for it yet. Brandon covers a lot of the team’s ills.
Come back soon Brandon. Preferably healthy.
Not good for our record, could be good for development
Seems to me that while it’s certainly not good for our record, it could be very good for the development of a number of different players.

If I am not mistaken

Thanks
but….while a case can be made that the record was broken …the current comment count is now 39. I gave myself a ruling…the original 35 comment Junk stands!!!. That is still the number gang!! May the apathy rain down from the heavens
Homer: "Yikes....a bear is eating my father!!"
Selma: "I'm Selma"
Homer: "A talking bear is eating my father!!"
NO!!!!
Maybe the JDs should be retired after 24 hours. I say you got cheated, but at least you still hold the unbeatable record, unless of course you beat it.

Yup
The record holding junk drawer was posted at Aug 29, 2008 5:46 AM HST and the last comment went in at Aug 30, 2008 7:07 AM HST. There has to be a time standard.
I want to see someone make a late day JD then proclaim themselves the record breaker the next morning. Then we can all watch their house of cards collapse.
I think the record should be either 24 hours or until the comments for the post are closed.
I agree
But should the officals be allowed to to review the replay?

I’m compiling a group of elite posters whose sole job is to preserve the record. We have the crazy guy, a beefy guy, the brains, the looks, the demolition expert, but we’re still looking for the pilot and the motorhead.

I can't wait til that hits video
We won’t make it to the theater to see it. But it’s on my short list for new-release rental.
I’m hoping it’ll hit video fast to match up with the Oscars.
Rasheed reputation proceeds him
He has made some strides in controlling his volcanic temper, but long ago David Stern put a target on Rasheed and instructed the refs to make an example out of Rasheed at any opportunity. This is why he gets T’d for clenching his fists, shadow haymakers, pouty-facing and mad-dogging.
Don’t get me wrong, I have no sympathy for Rasheed after his CTC attitude emerged in Portland. I do however acknowledge the obvious double-standard in Stern allowing his super-star revenue-generating favorites rules exceptions while at the same time villianizing Sheed.

Do you really think
that Stern told refs to ‘make an example’ out of him?
Jaws were hitting the floor as Greg repeatedly attempted to tear the rim off the backboard...
I hold Stern to be accountable for it
He may not have gathered them together in a room and said “OK guys, I want you to single out Rasheed and feel free to T him up at any opportunity.” I do think Stern has influenced the way the game is called and I don’t mean in a fair and consistent manner.
That does seem quite conspiratorial, but is Rasheed entirely to blame for what really seems to me to be the refs itchy trigger fingers? Reminds me of back in the day when Buck had a problem with Jake O’Donnell if I’m not mistaken. Buck couldn’t ever get a call and the bias wasn’t just obvious, the commentators frequently referred to the bad-blooded history between the two. Buck isnt the only example, Clyde had his problems at times too, and certainly other players across the league and time have butted heads with officials. Thats not to say it all boils down to David Stern, but in regards to Sheed thats my guess.
I’ve caught flack before about suggesting the “super-stars” get preferential treatment. If a call is close, give it to the super-star. Call the foul on the guy next-door, otherwise Kobe might foul out. Ball didn’t go in the hoop, must’ve been a foul. There’s too many examples of the refs not calling the game straight up for me to believe its mere coincidence.

Huh
Yea I didn’t mean to be incrdulous, and I guess I should have worded that differently. But yea I guess all I can say is that sucks.
Jaws were hitting the floor as Greg repeatedly attempted to tear the rim off the backboard...
what sucks?
The way I put it or the truth?

haha
the truth
Jaws were hitting the floor as Greg repeatedly attempted to tear the rim off the backboard...
But still
That is completely unacceptable. I mean shouldn’t KG be held to a higher standard being that he is on the Championship team? I mean with all of those NBA “where ish happens”, shouldn’t Stern be calling KG out, simply because he was put on that pedestal?
Or are the refs trying to maunfacture a Bad Boys of Detroit redux? I mean ‘Sheed doesn’t go after other players to my knowledge. And he has brought a championship home to Detroit, just like KG has to Boston.
I mean even discussing this feels like WWE. Rasheed only had 12 techs all of last year, so his reputation for being a bad guy has definitely subsided to some degree. I guess I kind of get but if I do get it this needs to change, like now.
If I don’t get it, then I would like someone who sits courtside, or one of our media members to figure out what the deal is. You know? Can anybody who sits courtside help me out, or Lance, Ben, the Mikes, J Quick, or Dave? I mean I would be interested if someone could just ask Rasheed about it, just his take on why he gets so many technicals, and if it is jawing at the refs, the refs really are there to protect the players not their own egos…

In the US, the rich, powerful, the superstars, are all held to a lower standard!
That turn is what led to the fall of the Roman republic, and it’s eventual collapse after years of oligarchic abuse.

Atlanta - Arizona game is pretty good...
Arizona actually has a defense
G.O. Crazy G.O. Crazy, I wanna party in your tummy!!!
Dang Cardinals
Cant believe they beat the Falcons…. I cannot honestly believe the Cardinals are any good

They had some gutsy third down calls at the end of the game.
That was an entertaining game.

Im worried about the Cardinals continuing to win
it could mean more exposure for Kurt Warners wife. If it was Green Bay I wouldn’t have as much trepidation knowing AJ Hawks girlfriend (or maybe wife now) would get the tv time

A small piece of good news
Atlanta beat Houston to drop the Rockets into a tie with Portland (Portland slightly ahead on percentage points). Way to go, Hawks.
I guess we should root for New Orleans to knock off Denver… that one is tight early as Hilton Armstrong seems to be doing a great job in relief of Chandler. Doesn’t look like we’re going to get any help from Philly against the Spurs.

As a Raiders fan (since no playoffs for my team)
I love the following
No Bronco’s in Playoffs (Shanny gets fired)
No Pats in Playoffs (Too bad they didn’t fire Beli-cheat)
No Seahawks in Playoffs (Overkill TV coverage)
No Farvre in Playoffs(I am the only one who thought he was a wank for stringing along the Packers)
BTW, I hate the following phrase: “That was almost picked off” (Or “that was nearly intercepted”)
Look….just because a defender touched the ball…doesn’t mean they almost picked it off. TV guys are always doing this. At least 5 or 6 times today alone some DB barely tips the ball and the Play by Play guy screams: “That was nearly picked off!!!!” Usually followed by this gem: “I guess that’s why he plays defense”. How about save saving it for when the defender actually gets 2 hands on the thing. What ya say?

was it?
Or did the defender just hear a rumour that there was a pass within 10 yards of him?

I watched part of that game
It made me hoot so much that my husband had to come watch too. Nothing like a Bulls game to appreciate what we have here. Think we should trade for Noah?
Tyrus Thomas had a great game
15 points 8 boards 4 assists 8 BLOCKS!!!
The folks over at Blog a Bull want to kill their coach when he doesn’t play 48 min a game.
"When I have the ball, I experiment." #5
Hmmm
TT’’s great game looks a lot like LMA’s recent 13 pts, 10 boards, and 5 assists, yet people want to crucify LaMarcus. OK, Tyrus’ 8 blocks is impressive — but it’s also a sign that the defense is lacking, bigtime.
I don’t know how Blog a Bull can support playing Thomas more. After all, the guy EATS IN THE LOCKER ROOM.

We got some good stuff from a co-op in Tucson
Wish I could remember the brand. I think I saw it for sale in Sedona also.
We're in Prescott (pronounced Presskit by the locals) for awhile.
I really love this area. The weather has been beautiful although we’re supposed to get a day or two of snow. Even when the temp is in the 30’s or 40’s the sun feels wonderfully warm. It’s very temperate here year round. Have you ever been to Jerome AZ? Amazing. It cliiiings, through many switchbacks, to a very precipitous mountainside. People have been known to fall through the sidewalks into old mine shafts.

My sister lived in Sedona for 10 years, so I've explored that area a little
Though I can understand Sedona’s allure, I actually prefer the mountain greenery of Prescott and Flag. Have you seen the bouldery area northwest (I think) of Prescott? Magical.
Jerome is crazy cool; it’s hard to believe that a town could be built on area that steep. I love wandering its streets, even though my calves always ache the next day.
Been to Jerome up alternate 89 from Scottsdale towards Sedona

Their loser QB had about a half dozen intentional groundings and they didn’t call a single one. The Colts got some dumb guys on defense though. That face mask penalty was plumb stupid.

I hate the Chargers QB. He’s the KG of the NFL. I think most the ref calls were legit but his last grounding should have been a flag.
Nope, plumb is right. My mid-western relatives said that.
