Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

Junk Drawer -- Jan. 5, 2k9 Baby Step Edition

Post-L*ker loss. Yuck.

(update) If you haven't read the "What's In A Name" article from Quick, read it now!

A good read from Johhny L. of Yahoo sports telling us the good things to take away from last night's game, along with a good reminder that Oden is not far behind Dwight Howard's rookie-year stats. (12 and 10 in 33 minutes vs. 8 and 7.2 in 23 minutes).

I'm no math expert, but my calculator says that puts Oden's per48 at around 16.7 points and 15 boards. Howard's would be 17.5 pts and 14.5 boards.

Interesting.

Lance Uppercut has some notes and quotes up about the game. Stuff from Nate, LMA, Oden and Rudy.

Joe Freeman talks about how we got 3rd degree burned last night, namely in the third quarter.

From Channing's mouth:

"I don't think I've ever seen anything like that," Frye said. "I mean, that was pretty bad."

Money stat to back it up:

Blazers reserves, who had outscored opposing benches by 287 points and were averaging 35.5 points per game before Sunday, were bad from start to finish. No Blazers bench player scored more than three points and the unit finished with 10 points.

Jason Quick could have had a lot of different headlines for this article. Read it for yourself to decide.

But behind all the glitz, glamour and publicity, there is a harsh reality that McMillan says he knew all along: The Blazers are still too young. Still too inexperienced. And still not ready to be considered a playoff team.

"A lot of things will have to go right," McMillan said, referring to his team's playoff chances this season.

Personally, I didn't know we had a ton of glitz, glamour, or publicity (B-Roy below Jason Terry on the All-star balloting? Helooooo?), but I guess we'll see what happens.

Give the fanshots a perusal for highlights of the Nic Batum dunk. Boy was that sweet.

Aight, I'm out. Back to the real world on this post-Christmas/New Year's Monday.

I must say that article (and the ones on Blake and the name plates)) shows again why Quick is an excellent beat writer

Although some will surely claim it shows why he is a problem to the Blazers, constantly pointing out all kinds of weaknesses instead of talking about their strengths. McMillan seems to agree.

While McMillan kept coming back to a lack of production from those players, I noted that the two players most directly assigned with filling Roy’s void were Fernandez and Bayless — both rookies.

“I do realize that,” McMillan said. “But I’m not going to use it as an excuse. It’s who we are. I understand that we are young. And I understand we have gone up against some tough teams — Boston, New Orleans, the Lakers. But we don’t know when Brandon is coming back. We can’t sit and wait.”

that name article was awesome. I included it at the top of the post now.

Quick is a good writer. I love ’em.

Poll: Florida v. Oklahoma, who ya got?

Florida

I haven’t watched much college football outside of the Ducks this year, but I like Florida in this one. There defense is super fast and after watching Masoli plow over Oklahoma State’s safeties, I think the Big 12 may be a little overrated. (Texas should be in this game though…damn BCS). It should be a good game b/c Ohio State isn’t involved (sorry Mr. Oden).

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

She reminds me of one of my former roommates

Enormous, uh, whatevers, but she hated ’em. Finally got a reduction surgery. Not only did she drop 15 pounds right from the get-go, but her back pain went away, her hip pain went away, and even her knee pain went away. She could finally be active once again, so her cholesteral numbers, etc. improved. And needless to say, people treated her differently.

My sister has that problem

so big it’s causing her physical pain. She’s hoping next year to get a reduction.

She scarred really easily. I don't know if it was because she's black, or just that way, but the scar was fairly pronounced.

Yes well I think that's unfortunate but at the same time

my sister wants relief…lol no amount of scarring will get in the way. Also, in regards to scarring, no matter who the surgeon people’s skin all react differently. Kind of how some pregnant women get stretch marks and others don’t. I also think the pigmentation of the skin doesn’t matter, but that’s just a guess.

Most black people scar differently

They don’t respond well, scar wise, to plastic surgery. Boob job scars show up and the scars keloid up, unlike non-Black skin.

Everyone reacts differently, but it is a facty-non-stereotype dealio that skin of people descended from the African continent scars and heals differently.

Better surgeons hide/create the scars better than others, but a Black woman doesn’t have much hope in a scar healing in a non noticeable way.

We keloid sometimes

I cut my forearm on a barbed wire fence in high school (I was fishing, I swear) and the scar is a about 2 1/2 inches long and raised up. It looks normal though, I’ve seen much much worse. Ear piercings tend to keloid a lot too

If I lived in the Gopher State, I'd've voted for Independence Party of Minnesota candidate Dean Barkley.

Barkley, who’s a former U.S. Senator and chariman of one-time Minn. Gov. Jesse Ventura’s gubernatorial campaign, definitely should’ve won the 2008 U.S. Senate race out over ineffective Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and inexperienced Democratic-Farmer-Labor challenger Al Franken. It’s unfortunate that Minnesotans haven’t recently rewarded people like Barkley, former Congressman Tim Penny, and other free-thinking, non-mainstream politicians.

You just opened up a can of worms

Hopefully that is the correct expression, I never used it before.

Today I spent two hours in line (actually three lines) at the Bursar’s Office to get a $0 fine “paid” so I could get my account cleared of two holds. Then I sat by a guy in Native American Cinema with B.O. something fierce, and for about an hour and a half after that class I’d catch a whiff every couple minutes of his scent, which made me paranoid.

Other than that, I’ve been pretty good.

How have you been?

Salaam.

by JamesOn on Jan 5, 2009 8:09 PM PST up reply actions  

Yes, correct use of term.

So it was not just B.O, but B.B.O.

That’ll stick with you for a while.

It was absurd

I kept smelling the left side of my shirt (the side closest to him) over and over again to make sure it hadn’t stuck, but then it would waft by like he had just run past me really fast

That's funny but shouldn't be

Especially for that guy. I don’t understand how someone can be so oblivious to stinking that bad. Haven’t they noticed enough people shying away from them or plugging their noses when they sit close? Kinda weird to me.

I was just expressing myself through the lyrical stylings of Go West

the greatest musicians to ever come out of England. We are all going to miss you, so the lines “I’ll get over you, I know I will/I’ll pretend my ship’s not sinking/And I’ll tell myself I’m over you/‘Cause I’m the king of wishful thinking” had a very personal meaning. We’ll TRY to keep a collective stiff upper lip, but we all know that is just wishful thinking. I was trying to be tender. If you can’t see that, well then I guess now I know where I stand.

I understand

I kinda got talked into this whole marriage thing (fifteen years ago).

It’s not very romantic, but for me the bottom line comes down to “can I visit him/her in the hospital and make sure the doctors do the right thing.”

by Corvid on Jan 5, 2009 8:52 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, I know what you mean.

for me, it will be more a work permit issue in china. I know man/woman couples who are not married and just fake it at the hospital. Doesn’t work for gay couples because we’re basically a society of bigots. But that’s a different story. In reality, we decided against it because we both started getting super stressed about all kinds of crazy crap, when really we needed to be getting ready to move.

And moving to another continent/culture is another thing entirely. Of course you could just combine all the stressful stuff into one giant hellish period. Move, get married, etc. Should I call the IRS and arrange for an audit?

I am just catching up on goings-on around here

Sorry to hear about your ankle/leg. My mother broke her ankle about 18 months ago trying to keep an elderly woman from falling at work (she works at an assisted living home) and she was miserable, yet her injury seems like nothing compared to snapping your leg in half. Luckily I have never broken anything, just a whole bunch of sprains, a handful pretty bad, most no big deal. But I won’t rub it in your face that I am unbreakable.

Late late LATE get well soon, but with 25% more gusto so it makes up for the difference.

 As i’m still in a moderate amount of pain from the surgery and wallowing in self pity because I’ve been sitting doing nothing for 2 weeks, your sentiments are not really late at all and still very much appreciated :)

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
