Love Thief - by Rashad McCants
I’m not a Grinch that stole love but I’m a thief with no love.
Eyes bright like city lights when she enters my life.
Every morning after yawning we make love to sweet nothing and birds chirping.
My tongue lurking for that spot that says stop and makes ya mouth drop.
I’d spit you out just to taste you again.
And again I’d have this dream during the day where my eyes lay wide shut.
Love has culture shocked my brain and blindsided my heart,
my skin crawls with butterfly touches that tickle my smile.
Her eyes drown me in her deep blue sea. I openly swim naked in her fresh water.
So natural she smells like rain….

I agree.

Kourtney seems to be the most normal and un-altered looking one.

Kim would be the obvious front runner but the collagen treatments have really puffified her face to the point where she just looks like another fat-faced Californian.

Khloi is a monster and must be stopped. What is she, like 6’5" 290 lbs? It’s her beastly frame and Chyna-esque jaw-line that makes me think that “Kardashian” means “She who wrestles the bear” in some foreign language.

Not that I’ve ever watched that show or anything…

I agree on this one

Maybe she had work done, I dunno, but she looks the most natural and goodest.

Khloe even dwarfs Rashad McCants, and even though he ain’t huge he isn’t that short for a normal non-NBA person. She’s big! I don’t mind tall girls at all, but I’m glad Rashad and her are so much in love because I just can’t be there for Khloe anymore.

And by “dwarfs Rashad McCants”, of course I mean “DOESN’T dwarf him” as I now see from this picture:

I’d say her face makes her look “bigger” than she is, but she does have the wrestler lady China face— but China’s dome is from steroids and grossness, not naturalness. So, I won’t make fun of Khloe but shall continue to mock China.

Everyday I see other bigheaded ladies, and I’m not sure what made them go and get their face biggened from plastic surgery. It is very gross.

Agreeing is what makes the world rotate.

The biggening of big-lady-faces is unfortunately not just a Califlorida phenomenon either. It’s spreading like wildfire. I think it’s funny that we don’t let people put illicit drugs into their bodies however as a society we’re completely down for women (and really lame guys) injecting their big faces with gel or cutting themselves open and throwing in a sac of gelatin. Priorities… sheesh.

Drapes remove fluids

As do socks, t-shirts, hair, etc.

But you need a cleanser for the smell, because loose women are filthy, barbaric creatures.

THAT is the lesson that the song shares with us, and should be taught in schools. I know I’ll pull my sons aside and teahc them this lesson.

AND, I’ll pull my daughters aside and tell them to not let their men-folk carry baby wipes with them and that the smell of a baby wipe, no matter how consist the smell is there, means trouble.

From a heterosexual male's perspective, I deem this guy to be the most attractive NBA player today.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I feel sorry for those who find Rudy Fernandez and Nicoals Batum attractive, since Mike Miller is the man.

Now, with regards to the WNBA, Becky Hammon is undoubtedly the most gorgeous female in the league.

Whoa

Mike Miller is downright ugly to me. That sucks.

I know ya likes fellow long haired hippies, and maybe that’s coloring your judgement, but his face looks like a fish.

He looks ready and willing to be mounted though, and sometimes the availability of someone makes that someone more attractive because you rationalize it later as “well I slept with them because they are attractive to me. I must like elderly tranny clowns”. But in reality, you only did it because it was there. Such is the Mike Miller— no one else has long hair to love, so you must fill your love hole with Mike Miller.

NIPSLIP!

See, take away the long hair, and you’re left with this:

I betcha Rudy would be more crafty with the different games, and Batum would keep thinking it is possible to bounce the wiffle ball off of the slanted board into the bucket, but the way Rudy is shooting right now Batum would win the throwing games in general.

My fiancee's closet is swarming with stuffed animals from carnivals

I like to show my manliness by winning those games, and I’m good at the throwing ones. When we lived near the Santa Monica Pier, I’d always go down, break a few plates with a baseball, and bring back a crappy stuffed animal.

I don’t do the games that are impossible-ish. Just the throwing ones.

3 bucks for a Clifford the Dog isn’t too bad, right? Plus, everything is sweeter when won in a game of skill and manliness.

In general, we got too much crap now, but I like winning stuff at Carnival games so now I just give it away to whatever kid we see that looks the poorest and least capable of winning a prize on their own.

That's true

And he’ll be tall enough to see how squished the hoop is on the basketball game and adjust his shot accordingly.

Rudy will keep trying to make it by doing a middle school dribble between the legs and jumping backwards.

HOWEVER, Rudy’s smaller frame and wiliness will help him on the rope ladder climb, and that always has the best stuffed animals because it is so hard. Batum’s lankiness will work against him for once.

Hollinger with some interesting observations and 2009 predictions

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=hollinger_john&page=Predictions-090107

Cliffs notes version:

  • Russell Westbrook will keep it up after his monster December (after an abysmal November) and be better than Rose or Mayo.
  • LeBron (and not Kobe) = Mayo.
  • The Rookies will beat the Sophs at All Star Weekend (Rudy and Oden are mentioned, but the key will be Rose, Mayo and Westbrook— this game is always guard dominated).
  • Dallas will finish 9th in the West.
  • Playoff seeding will be debated again.
  • Cleveland will win it all.

Interesting stuff

I like Hollinger, and his numbers always give new insight I don’t notice on the surface.

His weakness to me is analysing and predicting stuff when his numbers don’t give a clear answer, or when he gives his own opinion. His personal opinion, when not done by the numbers, is usually at around Chris Sheridan’s level… often wrong.

I HOPE he’s right about Dallas, and it makes sense. It’s just crazy sauce to me to think someone out of Dallas or Utah won’t make it, because we’re for damn sure gonna make it or I’m punching someone in the face. BUT, one of those two could very well not make it, and it’s gonna be close.

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

I think it’s a horrible idea, and I LOVE Rudy. The second unit sucks right now without him though.

It's kind of an insult to Rudy if he goes to the bench

It’s only been a few games. Yanking him from the starting line up is similar to yanking a rookie after a few missed shots.

Nate did it with Travis after a couple games

And Nate does it to rookies all the time. And Sergio. Maybe Rudy’s gotten a little too much love from Nate, without too much producing lately.

Not like Bayless face has done much of anything, but why not give it a try? It’s only for one game, maybe two games anyways.

Who currently starts for Detroit?

Maybe coach wants to match up Bayless against Rip. Or Stuckey.

by Norsktroll on Jan 7, 2009 12:37 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I think Rip is off the bench, Stuckey has been starting lately.

That’s another reason why he should start. He’d be a great matchup for Stuckey. However, the match-up between Blake/Rudy vs. Rip/Iverson wouldn’t make much sense either. I think the best match ups should be:
PG- BRex vs. Stuckey
SG- Rudy vs. Iverson
SF- Batman vs Prince
PF- Aldridge vs. Wallace
C- Oden vs. Brown or Maxiell (sp?)

So, on second thought, why not bench Blake and keep Rudy in? Just for the game of course :)

Blake did a credible job against AI in the first game, keeping him pretty ineffective. Detroit is hard to plan for, they have options all the way to Prince bringing the ball up court.

Yeah that's true

Should be a good game no matter what. I am just sick of watching rudy have bad/semi-ok games. I have to say, Detroit is my second favorite team (still waaaayyy behind my #1 of course). They are like your Mavs. I just don’t want to lose to them :)

In the East, I could probably only root for Chicago (at least historically, even more so if their ownership wouldn’t be so bad) and a bit for little teams like Indy. We could have proxy wars in the East ;-)

I wanna root for Chicago

But like us inbetween the Jail Blazer years and the Now, the management and everything just seems so messed up and contradictory. Vision less!

Bulls, right now, remind me of Nash/Patterson era Blazers. Bad signings, misguided picks, etc.

They got obvious talent there though, and not just Rose.

And why aren’t the Pacers doing better in the East? Has their schedule been abnormally hard, like the Bucks’? They got the firepower and some good players, but just keep falling short.

Imagine the Bulls had not lucked into Rose (KP was one lotto ball away again)

Best case they walk away with Beasley, worst case they stay on their draft position and walk away with I don’t know who. That would be crazytown now. Their signings aren’t even that bad and the only really stupid deal was signing Ben Wallace with all that money. They just have no idea how to develop their players, especially big men.

by Norsktroll on Jan 7, 2009 1:53 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Ben Wallace was the worst signing

And I always liked Luol Deng and his potential, so I won’t argue against his signing.

But the Nocioni signing was abysmal, and the Hinrich signing was a little high as well even though I actually like him. And now they don’t got enough for a guy who is better than both of them, Ben Gordon.

It seems like they can’t develop a big man, but maybe the big men aren’t that good? Tyrus is a tweener who has obvious great athletic talents but is as positionless as Travis Outlaw… or, more similarly like Hakim Warrick and Stro Swift. I don’t like them jerking his minutes around so much, but he hasn’t really expanded his game beyond a guy who is a great athlete but not great finisher around the basket, and he wants to shoot a jumper more than he should.

And Noah was always just a role player at his best, but was on a championship college team. It is crazy to think he likely would have been the #1 pick in 2006, after the first NCAA championship. He’s always been too weak n’ small to be a muscle man at the 5, and not athletic enough to do more. BUT, as a role player, a Rich Man’s Mikki Moore (and I mean that as a compliment), he could be real good.

But his offense was always pretty bad, and his athleticism mediocre for the NBA.

I don’t think them getting LMA would fix everything (or anything), but I dunno if it is them who is bad at developing bigs, or just the bigs they picked in the draft.

For a great defensive team with a ton of cap space that needed post scoring (and more offense in general), to add Ben Wallace for a crap load of money and toss away the younger version of him in Tyson Chandler… obviously, that was a dumb move. One can only imagine Chandler with Rose instead of Paul— though having a good PG makes him look a lot better than he’d look if he had stayed with the Bulls.

Our core is a stronger core than what the Bulls have, so I don’t think our high potential youth movement will end the same way at all, but it’s always a risk that a completely misguided signing and the subsequent giving up on of one of the youngsters can derail everything.

Did you read the ESPN piece on Aldridge?

http://www.blazersedge.com/2008/12/30/705517/leap-of-faith-lamarcus-ald
And the comments from Matt (FriendlyBullsBlogger). LMA would be a broken man on that team.

by Norsktroll on Jan 7, 2009 2:19 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I think...

…LMA isn’t THAT sensitive, since he’s always been a hard worker.

It isn’t that strange for a kid to have a drunk dad who left his family to not trust people much.

Matt had some good comments, but I also wonder if it’s more post-event rationalizing to still ensure Tyrus remains “the right pick” in their minds. Now that it isn’t about the talent of the players like before, but that LMA wouldn’t be able to be successful there… it funny to me :<)

It could be true, but I don’t think LMA is that weak. He’d probably be MORE successful here because the Blazers seem to have more of a support system, but I dunno what we’ve done differently with our big men that other teams don’t do.

No matter where LMA was drafted, he’d be working hard before and after games, like he does now. He just might not stay in a place he didn’t trust, and I think he trusts the Blazers to not be fooling with him.

In short, I think the “LMA wouldn’t have been good as a Bull either” belief is likely wrong, as Tyrus would still be a tweener athletic positionless low-skill guy as a Blazer.

I still say Tyrus could be a really good player though. He just needs more minutes, which is what the main difference between our team and theirs is. We never jerked LMA around with time on the floor.

With what we know now, it would be crazy if the Blazers drafted Rose

I think he would just replace Bayless because Sergio would have stayed for Rudy and Blake would have to stay because you need a veteran point guard. Then Greg’s development is more important than Roses. My first thought is that the second unit would be kick butt, then I think it’s Sergio and Rudy that make the second unit kick butt.

David Stern to feel the wrath of 'The Vanilla Grandmilla'

Haha this is a day+ old, but somehow I missed it. So in case you haven’t seen it, the scoop is that, apparently, Joel Przybilla’s grandmother is NOT happy about the $7500 fine Joel received in the incident with T-Chand. According to J-Quick:

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. Chandler was ejected and suspended a game for throwing a punch. Przybilla said he was stunned at the fine, but was handling it better than his grandmother.

    "She said she is going to keep writing Stern until she hears back from him,‘’ Przybilla said smiling. "And believe me, she will.’’

Don’t mess with Vanilla Grandmilla.

Kinda’ reminds me of Larry Johnson’s grandma (I only watched first 35 seconds…no idea what lies beyond that).

I heard a LaMarcus Aldridge spot on the radio this morning on the way into work. It was him shilling for votes to the All-Star game (I think). He starts out with something like" Hi…it’s me L-Train, LaMarcus Aldridge . Please vote for me in the allstar game..whooo hooo (train whistle noise….real weird BTW)

Anyway…..the weird commercial not withstanding….what do you all think the nickname L-Train….I personally think it is way better than LA

It’s put out by Deutsche Bank….essentially it’s a fund that just tracks oil. So if oil goes up 20% in a given month, DXO goes up forty percent. If oil prices fall 15 percent, then I’m down 30 percent.

Kind of a cool little deal.
