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.”

good point
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).

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.
I knew another girl who had it done, a cuban, and the scars were hardly there at all.

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.

Whenever I get in a fight with my fiancee I scream “AT LEAST I CAN SCAR WITHOUT KELOIDING” and then I slam the door behind me and rub my smooth, nice scars.
It is a real thing though, and plastic surgeons are ’SPOSED to warn their black patients about it beforehand.

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

Terry Porter's arm
His keloid scarring on his arm is what I point to as a textbook example of keloid scars.
Yeah, it doesn’t happen everytime, and I’m not sure what makes it happen, but it happens and I think it is what makes black people good at basketball.

I was gonna rail against AK1984 calling What About Bob funny and say he is deluded and do some fake stats and whatnot, but decided not to for funnies.
We can all agree Bill Murray is the best ever!
I didn’t like DARJEELING LIMITED as much as the other Wes Anderson movies, but I liked how Bill Murray missed the train in the beginning, as if he was missing the train for the entire movie and that’s why he wasn’t really in it.
If you wish too suffer from delusions that think otherwise and/or be all racist at me because of my long hair, so be it.

Reaction
I have an Observation from Staples….I think we are gonna shoot our way out of the playoff race. My reaction to Lakers/Blazers is that LaMarcus is like Derick Jeter (not in a good way) and also We let one slip thru our grasp and you can really see the need for The Missing Piece since The Oden Fix is on. This was Rudy"s Chance to Step up and he hasn’t . The Trade Rumor Trawler is running full out since Martell Websters return should be Imminent…but isn’t. One a side note, there are 2 spots open on the Blazers fantasy league, but that should be in the Weekend Junk Drawer. I wonder What Former all-star will Portland trade for? now that I have given up on LMA . I think The Blazers Need a “Tyson Chandler” but I can’t tell you What I don’t remember about tonight (and what you don’t either) .The only thing I know is that the best player we have is Pryz

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.

I was listening to that
I was going to come home and write a serious fanpost about it (I must be upset to write a serious post). I still may. It was real bad tonight. I am a white male and usually I think people go out of their way to get offended by stuff…but this is getting bad. He had the bad accent ….the gibberish…..and of course premise itself is mildly offensive as well. Plus the other guys were ribbing him for sounding like Tonto last time (wow….a two-fer on the insensetivity scale). This seems so much worse than the Rudy’s (and the spanish team’s) Olympic photo debacle and these guys keep doing it week after week. It they are not careful …it is gonna bite them in the ass…for real.

I've heard things at least as egregious from MR, especially when
he was the game time color commentator on the radio. I try to give him the benefit of the doubt but sometimes he’s over the top. I think his tongue is loosened by Jack Daniels.

His exact words were “this’ll show those Asian bastards who is boss”.
Yeah, whoever’s idea it was to get Rice liquored up and doing bad Charlie Chan impressions is either the smartest man alive, or the dumbest.
Maybe it’s KP’s way to force Ricey out.
Or maybe they thought he could get away with it because Asians love Rice OH SNAP.

A few weeks back, you were asking about that 1977 Blazers shirt I have. Well, I finally put it up on the ebay. It’s super cheap because I only have two weeks left in the USA … then it’s HONG KONG time for ole’ Y5k.
Sorry to be the advertiser, but a fan would want this item. I know I did (until I had to pare back everything that doesn’t fit).

It’s a wild time ‘round the ole ranch here in Brooklyn. Breaking everything down. Trying not to fight with the wife. Stress is in the air. the good news is … Jan. 15, Blazers vs. Nets. Gonna get tickets for the woman and me and meet up with LetsBlaze and Fatty, with any luck. Maybe other BEdgers as well. I hope China doesn’t block my favorite on-line blazer TV action.

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?

Yes, correct use of term.
So it was not just B.O, but B.B.O.

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 0 recs
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.

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.
