January Junk - The 6th Edish

1225081700b_tiny by RoodiePhirnandizz on Comment 241 comments

The Bush's family cat, India, died yesterday.

I have a date Thursday with an attractive girl that i met in my writing class last term.

I fell down my stairs yesterday. there are only 2 stairs though.

Carmelo has a "probable" hand fracture. Good luck with that. on opposite day. ooo Melo need some ice for that? (the burn i just laid out not the fracture)

The Naturals wife gave birth to their second child.

Dave's reassuring piece on Darius gives me giggles.

I'm going to bed. <3

We're always falling, the question is, can you catch yourself?

Gravity is there and doesn’t change much. And we use it to continuously fall forward, and then catch ourselves over and over again. It’s called walking.

So, it’s as simple as catching yourself.

by Quik_Baller on Jan 6, 2009 2:38 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I do too

He was my favorite player for that final roster spot. High character guy. And nothing against Shav, but Shaun had All-Star written all over him when he came into the league. Think a taller Jason Kidd or a Scottie Pippen running your point. Amazing passing angles almost no other player can even see. He really would have helped the Clippers much more than any Baron Davis if not for that freak injury in the long run. If anything was left in the tank, that would have been a gamble worthy of KP down the road. I like Petteri a lot, but Livingston would be the more interesting high risk high reward gamble.

P.S.: The release was more due to luxury tax than due to health reasons. Shaun didn’t look bad in the limited time, but it was clear from the start this would be a rebuilding year. He just hasn’t got the strength in the knee back to jump and turn from it as well as he could. Maybe in a year.

by Norsktroll on Jan 6, 2009 2:00 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

There were hints in Miami that Shaun wanted more playing time

I’m a little curious if he was getting no playing time due to medical concerns or level of play.

Like everyone else, I’d love to see Shaun make a successful comeback. Even if it’s in Europe.

Just before I came to work, my wife told me a swell story

I drank a lot of champagne, beer, and Jägermeister on New Year’s Eve. I thought I was pretty well behaved, but a friend told my wife, that a woman from the party told him, that I walked up to her and said, “I have soft hands, can I touch your boobs?”

In my defense, I do have soft hands. After my wife told me the story I said to her, I said, “That’s kind of creepy.”

I think it was the champagne

I’ve done heroin, PCP, crack, licked toads, LSD, angel dust, acid, mescaline, mushrooms, cocaine, adrenochrome, ketamine, peyote, horse tranquilizers, and PBR all at the same time and still behaved myself. I normally only make stupid comments like that to friend who know I’m joking. Champagne is a hell of a drug.

It was probably something silly I said half-jokingly when we were both in the kitchen. Normally I say stuff like in the presence of people who would get the joke, like my wife. Then she tells the folks to just ignore me.

Yeah

If no one is there to get the joke, just telling it for yourself usually isn’t enough.

Plus, it comes off creepy and everyone is told what you said and the circumstances and the innocent joke turns into you trying to molest her in an abandoned warehouse while old circus music plays in the background on a scratchy record.

When I was a senior in high school...

I was at my friend’s parent’s Christmas party. It was getting late, so the adults were getting a little tipsy. Of course we had snuck a few drinks, so we were a bit tipsy.

We joined the adults for a while, and this old dude comes up to us.

“You know what’s great about these parties?”

“What?”

“Well, this is my neighbor, who I go to church with, and my wife is right over there… and I’m going to do this!”

And he turns to the women next to him, his neighbor and fellow church-mate, and face-plants into her chest. Then he shook his head a bit while making some funny sound, stood up and flashed us a smile, and then went over to his wife who was smiling at him.

All we could do was laugh our way out of the party…

Jason Quick is going Bill Simmons on us: References to "Shawshank Redemption"

http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/01/babies_hammys_rumors_and_mail.html

Remember the movie ‘Shawshank Redemption’, where Andy Dufresne wrote a letter every week to the state to get books for the prison library? Well, the same concept is underway with the grandmother of Blazers center Joel Przybilla. The octogenarian plans to write NBA commissioner David Stern a series of letters complaining about the $7,500 fine Przybilla received for his part in an altercation with New Orleans center Tyson Chandler on Friday.

Better yet

Give every fan in the arena a little button pad, like on America’s Funniest Home Videos. Then tell them to hit the foul button when they see a foul. If more than 3 fans hit the button within a second (you know, like olympic boxing judges), then it’s a foul.

Thoughts
  • Whatever Mike Born mentioned in his Rudy answers (long-standing connection from junior national teams on, etc.)
  • That Rudy seems able to convert even fairly bad passes by not dunking them, but instead doing reverse layups and all kinds of crazy moves.
  • Most of them seem to be baseline cuts from Rudy → movement without the ball
  • That no other guard seems willing or able to throw these kinds of passes to Rudy. In fact, Rudy himself might be the most daring passer after Sergio on the team

Truthfully

a big part is that they are the only ones on the team trying to run the ally-oop. Add to this the fact that Rudy can finish in a lot of different way…reverses, dunks …so forth. Finally ….it was basically the first thing we saw from Rudy (boy howdy@!!!) and made a big impression.

A couple of reasons

1) Its a point guard to a shooting guard not some 7ft center
2) Its two non American players from the same country
3) It doesn’t have to finish with a dunk, the layups are just as exciting.
4) Rudy has flair
5) Whenever it happens I get to yell “esmashida”
6) They were doing it to each other before the NBA (yes, yes, that sounds funny)

Martell's going to be out a while.
Blazers General Manager Kevin Pritchard on Tuesday said Webster’s doctors decided that he should remain in his protective orthopedic boot for another two weeks, then re-evaluate. Once post-boot rehab is factored in, and Webster returns to practices and gets into game shape, Pritchard thought Webster could be looking at close to the All-Star Break before being ready for a full return to action.

http://columbian.com/article/20090106/BLOGS05/901069984/-1/BLAZERBANTER

Anyone else concerned that Martell won’t be 100% until next year? He must be going stir crazy.

At least Oden knew he was out for the year

Imagine if he kept rehabbing last season, only to keep having setbacks. Then he plays 5 minutes in a game and he’s out again for a few months.

I really feel sorry for Martell, this has to be really tough.

Ouch

I have a clue how Martell feels,once I ran and ran and ran to get ready for a soccer season,pulled a hammy in the first game,a month later when I could play again it felt like I had ankle weights on.

Hey is this is still us?

I honestly think it is, but then again I am from Blazerland and haven’t been to a game in any other arena. I think our chanting defense in the second quarter of the Boston game, and in our first home preseason game is definitely a part of this vibe. Does anyone else have any input on this?

This is the Truehoop article where Henry was talking about the Nets fans booing there own team to a win. And how the Memorial Coliseum was pretty much the exact opposite. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-38-14/When-Fans-Go-Sour.html?post=true

"Makes you feel less good about our win over them."

It also put our own little travails in perspective. Boston is still at least the thrid best team in the league, the deending champs, no one significant injured and they can lose. Multiple time in two weeks. it’s the NBA, where even good teams lose a few.

Remember our decent stretch around December/January in our 21 win season?

I don’t THINK the Thunder will get the worst record— 8 wins is a lotta not winning— but every horrible team has a stretch where they keep it close and everyone thinks they’ve turned it around a bit and then they go back to being awful.

HOWEVER, talent wise, this Thunder team obviously has a lot more talent than our awful 21 win team. AND our awful 27 win team. Durant, Green, Westbrook, Wilcox, Collison, they got players… just inconsistent and one dimensional players, in certain cases.

It’s another feather in Nate’s cap that he led a Z-Bo/Miles/Telfair team to 21 wins! And that year, the bottom wasn’t as bad as it is this year. The Thunder should be able to steal some more wins from fellow suckers like the Kings and Wolves.

Obviously though, as the petty schadenfreuding jerk I am, I want the Thunder to get the worsest record ever. That’d be suh-WEET!

8 wins is the worst, right?

And not like Oden, who just cares too much.

Bynum is prone to feeling slighted and not involved. Not a good mix on a team with Kobe and Pau, who deserve the touches and involvement they get.

Bynum has been a shot blocking rebounding monster in the past, but that doesn’t seem good enough for him right now.

He’s still very young though, of course.

Oden is moody in the OH I WANNA BE GOOD BUT AIN’T BEING AS GOOD AS I CAN BE sort of way. That’s not a bad moody in the long run.

Even better

Body language! (joking)

What they tell reporters and say isn’t a bad way to analyse what someone is feeling like.

Bynum wants more role, more touches, and isn’t giving the same effort as before. He moody! Oden gets all glum and woe is me, he moody! One moody is better than the other in the long run… especially if you’re playing with Kobe.

It’s not a secret that Bynum ain’t happy, so I’m not reading tea leaves here. You can see Oden ain’t happy either— which reason is better for a team? In my opinion, it’s the guy who is moody because he cares about being good too much, not the one upset he isn’t getting the same touches he got the year before on a team with Kobe and Pau.

Hootie hoo whattie what!

Just like I said before the season started— he good, but overrated as the next big thang.

He benefited a ton from Kobe getting so much attention, and when he was healthy he was able to finish well. Now Pau is better at the post thing than Bynum is of course, so you go through him and give him the dump offs from the attention Kobe gets, AND Bynum and Pau haven’t yet been able to create some sort of chemistry.

Kinda like LMA and Oden, I’d say… and Oden is trying to regain his lift and athleticism. Once it’s back, it’ll be more fair to compare the two, but Bynum isn’t years ahead of Oden currently like he should be.

Oden, if he does regain his athleticism like they say he should, will be a lot better player. But Bynum is good! Just not THAT good.

Bynum was not overrated last year

He was legitimately amazing last year. There is a difference between regressing and never having been good in the first place.

Bynum is better than Oden right now but not by much.

Boomshakalaka

by jksnake99 on Jan 6, 2009 9:03 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

But to me

He isn’t playing that much worse.

There’s just a Pau there, a better big man (for the triangle at least), getting those dunks and easy buckets that Kobe got Bynum before.

They could still very well develop that chemistry, and Bynum couldn’t ask for a better interior passer than Gasol to give him good passes. But with Kobe being so Kobe, you don’t really need to go through Pau for everything.

The biggest different between last year’s Bynum and this year’s is effort and touches. The game against us wasn’t the first time the announcers lamented Bynum’s energy level.
