You really can't tell how horrible his hair looked in this pic, I just wanted to post it cause I thought it was funny. Seriously though, Andrei's hair was absolutely terrible.

I think cleaning dougall’s kitchen for free characterizes you more as a servant than a slave.

Why does no one want a pet alligator?

There was a place to get burgers within 3 miles of my house where I grew up, and they had alligators in a pen in front of the place. They had them for a long time, and then suddenly they didn’t. Now that I think back, they might have gone out of business, or someone might have wised up and decided that it wasn’t good for the alligators to spend their lives in a pen in front of a burger joint in the San Fernando Valley. – Elgin

i want to see a game of "Football", played like this:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/jon_wertheim/09/17/no.punt/index.html

Pulaski [Academy H.S.] hasn’t punted since 2007 (when it did so as a gesture of sportsmanship in a lopsided game), and here’s why: “The average punt in high school nets you 30 yards, but we convert around half our fourth downs, so it doesn’t make sense to give up the ball,” Kelley says. “Besides, if your offense knows it has four downs instead of three, it totally changes the game. I don’t believe in punting and really can’t ever see doing it again.”

He means ever. Consider the most extreme scenario, say, fourth-and-long near your own end zone. According to Kelley’s data (much of which came from a documentary he saw), when a team punts from that deep, the opponents will take possession inside the 40-yard line and will then score a touchdown 77% of the time. If they recover on downs inside the 10, they’ll score a touchdown 92% of the time. “So [forsaking] a punt, you give your offense a chance to stay on the field. And if you miss, the odds of the other team scoring only increase 15 percent. It’s like someone said, ‘[Punting] is what you do on fourth down,’ and everyone did it without asking why.”

Yep

He also says that a lot of the tactics at the pro-level (and college too) have a lot to do with avoiding blame. If you punt on 4th and short and you lose, then it is the players fault. If you go for it and don’t make it then it is the coaches fault.

Jokes about absolutely any subject can be taken too seriously by people unable to imagine a world without them at the center. the secret is to never take anything you read on the interwebs personally unless it is clearly directed at you by someone who you know and who’s motivations you understand. Over reacting to a clearly absurd line of discussion and labeling it as inappropriate based on your own preceding associations kills all communication and thus all mutual understanding of tender subjects and alternative view points.

Also, lets just say I’m not joking.

My sincere condolences to her family.

In my limited time on this planet I have had the good fortune to have never had anything bad happen to myself or anyone I know so I am blindly insensitive to such obvious faux pas. Furthermore, my inability to absorb the entirety of the past postings on this site and catalog the personal experiences of the more important members of this community reveals an inhumane ignorance that should preclude me from commenting in the future.

It is clear to me now that a seemingly innocent jape on the abhorrent nature of cults, even if intended to damn such behavior, was actually a breech of good manners. I will refrain from engaging in dialog until given approval by senior members of the community in the future. Please forgive my transgression and let this not be a pox on my good name.

And Cabbie picked up Haywood. I would also have been interested in that, but he was ahead of me in the waiver order.

Both good pieces. Joel doesn’t bring the same scoring, but I get that elsewhere. He brings rebounds, FG% and blocks if I need that. And there is always the possibility of Greg not starting or getting injured :) or :(

He was picked in round 10, one round behind Joel

In reality they should be about equal overall, with Haywood the clear starter but also 2 young bigs looking to get his minutes.

I don’t understand why Haywood was dropped.

-minutes at the big position
-contributes to FG%
-doesn’t hurt FT% (shot well in his last healthy season)
-nice rebound rate
-nice block rate

why is he on the waiver wire again?

He is playing nice in pre-season, but I don't believe in him until he does it consistently

He was just soooo bad on that Mavericks team, and it wasn’t like they were stacked with dangerous bigs (Malik Allen, Jamaal Magloire, DeSagana Diop, Erik Dampier, …). They would have LOVED another big man playing well besides Dirk.

I do think he has a good influence on Greg though, having lived through high expectations for a young player and all. But I wouldn’t trade or bench Travis with the intention of giving him more playing time.

That's why I'm surprised

He definitely looks much better than when we all last saw him. I dunno why, maybe he’s in better shape or not injured now.

But he looked like a bonafide solid role playing back up 4, and with his experience and passing being more of what we need in a backup big over Outlaw’s dynamic streak shooting… I dunno, right now, Howard is above Outlaw.

Of course, Outlaw hasn’t helped himself with a really bad pre-season, where he not only isn’t scoring (his forte) but looking lost and making bad decisions otherwise. It could all reverse itself in the regular season, as you allude to.

I had a bad feeling when I watched that offseason training video

Where he is dribbling aimlessly with his left hand through an empty gym. I think he worked hard on his stamina over the offseason, but didn’t really add a lot to his game – at least nothing he feels comfortable using yet. And he didn’t do much to improve his defense.

Hard to improve defense alone

He needs to get in some actual games, with a coach telling him what he is doing wrong, and watching tape, etc.

Same reason Durant won’t become a good defender by being a gym rat. Gym ratting don’t make defense.

Oden had a coach with him to work on defensive drills and then watch him in games. Outlaw needed that too.

If he's focusing and working on defense, he should improve

I’ve long said that experience and willingness to defend is all most need, but some just don’t have either the athleticism, body, or instincts/reaction to be GOOD defenders. I don’t think Durant is athletic enough to ever be a great defender, but I see no reason why he can’t someday become fine defensively if he really works on it.

I don’t think Outlaw has the instincts/reactions for it… he loses focus easily.

My worry with Durant and his ability to help his team comes from dominating the ball totally but rarely passing/playmaking. THAT isn’t something I think gets much better over time. Like rebounding, ya either got it or ya don’t.

Shooting, defense, both improve with work and focus.

Martell wasn't too bad laterally

As long as he is a SF. As a SG, yes, too slow.

He was more guilty of being in the wrong place or reacting slow. Inexperienced defender.

He did decent for him his 3rd year, and was an average defender overall, which was a HUGE jump over his first 2 years.

Did you read Henry Abbott’s reply to him when he got confused by the +/- criticism? Was a very good analysis of what he needs to work on after studying the numbers and the synergy videos, especially pick and rolls on both offense and defense, along with closing out on shooters. Much better than the typical “he is the greatest” or “he is all hype” blog posts.

I did! I thought it was really good

I also found it funny that the Mavs former stat guy said he’d advise his team to stay away from Durant entirely, even if for free.

I think Durant is closer to that than to a team-helping superstar, but that’s prolly too far. But I do think you’re better off having a solid role player over a guy who only truly produces in one stat and is actively AWFUL in other very important categories that don’t show up in the boxscore.

It will cause a conundrum for the Thunder

He scores so awesome, so of COURSE ya want the ball in his hands, but since it limits everyone else, he needs a good PG next to him to handle playmaking, which means Durant scores less because he has less shots, which makes his weaknesses stand out more, and etc.

How to find the balance?

He needs to learn to decide between a bad shot and a good shot, then his efficiency will be through the roof. And the coach needs to stress defense, defense, defense. How to stay in front of your man, team schemes, everything. And surround him with good defenders. Guys like Westbrook, Sefolosha and Collison are a good start for that. Harden and Green remains to be seen.

What could be junkier than a comment about Qyntell Woods?

Okay, how about that new Apple Magic Mouse? Best mouse ever? I look forward to Christmas or so.

The whole top surface is a multi-touch interface

Scrolling, clicking, swiping, zooming images or text, … Time to put my old mice and iMac on eBay.

also, I wonder if you would have to be a surgeon slash pro basketball player to get the best use of that…..big, steady hands

My mouse at work has a back and forward button on the sides

They suck. Sometimes when I move my mouse to the right, it goes back a page.
