Random thoughts for the day.
1. Travis isn't gonna' be traded. If he is, I'm going Fatty and banning myself till the playoffs. Book it.
2. It's 1:00 am my time (11pm Hawaii time) and it's 71 degrees over on those magical islands (or so my weather thing says). Tom, do you even own a sweatshirt?
3. What does Jerryd Bayless think about when he puts his head on the pillow at night?
4. What's the number one thing you think could be improved about SB Nation? I wish it was easier to figure out when and where people replied to you.
5. And, in honor of Dave's Blasphemous post, if you haven't seen the 30 second ESPN Shaq ad where he's playing scrabble, it's worth a watch in my opinion.
6. I was surfing the webs and ran across this comment by a poor sap who's likely a T-Wolves fan.
10:46 PM TheHype: kevin pritchard...or is it richard pritchard? (wait...that doesn't make sense...) is the devil.
That got me to thinking...what would KP look like if he was the devil... (scary high-quality version)
Feel free to make your own psychic claims below or post random, off-topic junk, which in this thread is actually considered on topic.

A sweatshirt is known in Hawaii as a "winter jacket".
Usually, you own one, and wear it of it feels colder than it has in, like, three years.
Which means something like under 60 degrees.
Random thought I need to get off my chest: I just moved back to Portland after being away for four years,
and you know what the most troubling thing is about Portland now versus Portland circa 2005?
In the radio ads, the Fisher girls SOUND LIKE WOMEN.
HOT women.
This disturbs me greatly.
Anyone else have conflicting urges when a Volvo ad is on the radio?

O-kaaaaaaaayyyy then. It’s just me. Forget I mentioned it.
Do it! Do it! Do it 'til you're satisfied!
And for question #3:
Pillow? IF Bayless sleeps, his head rests on a cinder block or a cube of dry ice, just to keep that edge.
And if he sleeps, it’s only so he can dream of driving the lane and dunking on Wilt in his prime.

A good possibility....although my theory...
is that if and when he sleeps, he does with game tape running, so he can subconsciously analyze the opponent while catching some zzz’s. Efficiency.

iv'e often wondered if bayless had any idea how we edify him on this sight,
and just what he would think about him. if he’s seen it at all, he has to absolutly love it. we make him a combo of john wayne, clint eastwood, samual l jackson(jackie brown, shaft, and pulp fiction come to mind), chow young fat(nothing after hard boiled) bruce willus(die hard stuff) and jurasik park.

The correct answers to all your questions.
1. I agree, and I also will ban you if Travis is traded.
2. I remember shivering my arse off with a beach towel wrapped around me on top of Haleakala while doing the sunrise thing and wondering why I didn’t bring a jacket.
3. He wonders if the pillow might compete for some of his playing time, so he softly curses at it until drifting off to sleep.
4. I wish the page layout stayed consistent between main page, fanshot, fanpost, etc. There must be a dozen different arrangements that come up at various times.
5. The Scrabble spot is awesome. Shaq is awesome. The post Jordan era would have been lifeless without Shaq. I only hate Shaq when he is beating the Blazers.
6. Richard Pritchard would be a great name. I would insist on being called Mr. Richard Pritchard.
The cowards never started
The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived
They were the Trailblazers
I'd be surprised if Trav was traded
because he does things that you can’t coach (see sig line) and has shown a recent desire to get on the boards – - he’s showed he can use his athleticism to D up — remember him slowing KOB-eee down a bit – - correctable, coachable stuff I spose for a 23 yo…We’d have to recieve an established mid-upper tier player who covers the same position(s)..
Something is afoot tho…

As I recall, Travis was not bad in defending Dirk either
which is a TOUGH matchup. Travis can jump mad high to get up there and contest Dirk’s shots and he’s got more athleticism than Dirkity Dirk Dirk. And Dirk’s a softy-Euro so he doesn’t push Travis around.

- Bayless doesn’t sleep at night, he purrs with a low growl, rousing occasionally to flex his arms in the shape of an O while gritting his teeth.

What's the deal with Mike Rice?
I just listened to a courtside from the other day and he was ranting and raving about the Oregonian and the Blazer’s standing. He even asked Nate about it because he said the players need to know the standing when they read the paper. Is he ever out of touch.
I honestly do not know a single person under 30 who read the paper. Has Rice heard of the internet?

The NY Post reports that David Lee will stay in NY - sorry Timbo
- Walsh: Highly unlikely he will be traded
- His agent wants $10 million per year for him next off season → Trade offers dried up
- Not being selected to the All-Star game helps the Knicks in negotiations
10 mil is alot for him
He’s shown he can produce…but in a wide open offense with tons of PT and such ….I mean they score and give up a ton of point’s so stats will get pushed upward in both categories…tons of rebounds when you score 104 ppg on 42% shooting ….of course opponent 106 on 47% …..anyway…..tons of stats available…
"..[Travis Outlaw] could jump, grab a rafter, eat a sandwich, and then dunk.."

Oh, wow, the New York Post.......... They've never been wrong about ANYTHING before!!!
Yes, Lee wants $10M, or so it is told. That is the price. The price is the price. You might get it down a LITTLE from that, but not much. That has to be factored into the equation, the same now as a week ago or a month ago…
He’s an EXPENSIVE solution to the Blazers’ problem, for sure. But he is a solution…
The cilantro in your tapioca pudding since 2007.™
After reading the article in question (link below) it sounds like the Knicks anticipate being able to put the hammer down on him in contract negotiations and get him for substantially less than $10M...
……………………….. Since they can match other offers, and they don’t anticipate anybody bellying up to the bar at $10M or whatever, they’ll be in a position to get him for a fraction of that…

NY media are happy: Wade and LeBron talked about coming to NY -> But Miami has better weather :)
Wade indicated they have talked about the potential scenario, and both played for Mike D’Antoni last summer while winning a gold medal at the Olympics.
“It’s not crazy,” Wade told The Post in the visitor’s locker room of Indiana’s Conseco Fieldhouse. “It could happen. We both understand that. We both signed the same contract. We did it together. More than anything, it’s fun to think about. It’s exciting to know we both control our future. Will it happen? Who knows. He has some something he’s trying to accomplish in Cleveland. I have something I’m trying to accomplish in Miami. But up until 2010, it will be fun to think about.”
Asked about the merits of playing in New York, Wade, a native of Chicago, said, “It has its ups and downs. One of the downs is the weather. I love the weather in Miami. So New York has its ups and downs.”
Funny that NBA athletes really care that much about warm weather. Natural advantage for some cities, natural disadvantage for Minnesota, Milwaukee, and even Portland.
What was the last cold weather team to win a title?
Chicago?

It makes sense that players like warm weather
The city in which your team is based is where you are going to spend a big chunk of the winter. Would you rather have to wear a parka every time you go outside from November through March or have a pleasant winter in Miami?
I am surprised that Wade didn’t mention the fact that there is no state income tax in Florida as a reason to stay put.
So, anyone going to the game tonight?
We’re up visiting from So. Cal. to watch the Jazz get stomped.

I have a story for you....
So the Rose Garden jumbotron crew (similar to the Voltron crew) were doing the kiss cam deal. Everything was fine and dandy. People were kissing all over the place. One guy even proposed and she said yes. Then the kiss cam focuses on Brevin Knight and Matt Harpring sitting on the Jazz bench. Everybody laughs and thinks nothing of it. All of a sudden Brevin Knight leans closer to Harpring and gets ready to kiss him. The crowd roars with anticipation. They are getting closer and closer until Brevin is an inch away from kissing Harpring on the head. All of a sudden a STUPID SWEAT WIPER UPPER gets in the way of the camera and we miss the damn kiss. I hate those guys.

A little quick math tells me that those balls are flying at over 150 feet per second on the serve
almost as fast as my paintball gun. That is scary.
Want more aggressiveness? Try less Baylesslessness.
So do they have unlimited challenges or is it like NFL where you are limited to a certain amount?
Want more aggressiveness? Try less Baylesslessness.
they have unlimited challenges.
unless their challenge is wrong. they only get 3 of those (i think) and if they get 3 wrong challenges, they cant challenge anymore.

And 5 it is
I’m guessing if this set is close this will be one of the best finishes in Aussie Open history.

I wonder if Fed folds or tries to mount a comeback.....

He's gotta be getting tired.
I don’t think he’s got it in him. Rafa’s got him covered with athleticism and youth. Nadal needs to put him down right now.

watch out for Rafa’s serve though.

I have a bunch in the freezer still….need to get those eaten up so I can try your idea. I made vegetarian ones the other day…those were pretty good.

Bedtime.
thanks for the enjoyable Aussie Open Gameday Thread experience prez, S4E, and TiH (kinda).

And I guess I may as well go to bed too, since all the cool people are doing it.
Later Sabonis.
Have fun dreaming about whatever you dream of at night, dearest Tom.

No sleep allowed ehh?
Maybe you could take a quick nap and when the boss comes by and you realize you’ve been sleeping, you could pull the “And in his name, Amen.”
Sorry boss, had to offer a quick prayer. I’m back to work now.
I thought they didn’t care what you did anyway? Aren’t you basically just waiting for something to break? Does it matter if you’re sleeping or Bedging while you wait?
Want more aggressiveness? Try less Baylesslessness.
No bosses either
Just me and another guy at night. I won’t see my boss until Monday morning.
I am waiting for stuff to break though.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 11, twe-elelve.
Heck no
Then I gotta call up people and wake them up.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 11, twe-elelve.
Why is Fed crying?
That was a hell of a match, and he is basically the best tennis player ever. I’m confused.
"Only dunk and go to the defense." Rudy Fernandez
Because he's mad he got beat by the Rick Fox of tennis
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 11, twe-elelve.
I take it back
He’s the Picasso painting of tennis. We can see the left side of his face even though it’s a photo of his right side.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 11, twe-elelve.
I wonder if the theory is that wearing green arm bands of similar color to the ball
is distracting to the opponent.

I don't watch Lost
But did it Jump the Shark by adding a time machine?
