This is not a JD
I want to open a discussion about the amount of traffic on the site before the season starts and it takes another quantum leap,Dave and Ben have the other SBN blogsters amazed at what they have done here in terms of quality and traffic.so when I got home the JD was up to about 1400 and impossible to load,any thread over 1000 is pretty much dead to me,I like the JD and miss it. would it work to just have an informal agreement that some one start a second JD every 1000 or so?I cant be the only one with this problem.

the excessive silliness
keep in mind a major reason the JD was created was because blazer related fanposts were getting saturated with goofy remarks, silly links, and trivial minutia. So I don’t how any amount of JD silliness could be considered excessive
I did not say this. I am not here.
trivial minutia?
This is a vital question and the answer was disappointing

i agree
usually when i leave work the Jd is around 200-300 max and then i get back the following day and it’s always >1000. That’s when the shakes start.
yep
the bastard got the first spot, unbelievable. Also, what’s the over/under for Norsk picking Dirk with the 7th?
i asked him the same question earlier
he said he was thinking about it. I think he’ll be a great addition, knows a lot about the league. Now the only problem is finding strategies for staying awake for the draft…
yeah, how many time zones east from the pacific are you?
8?
if he makes a decision, let me know….my strat will be very different depending on who he takes
9
it’s 10:54 here now. Do you think there’s a big change of strategy between CP3 or LBJ? i mean, of course the position, but they’re both pretty balanced players (only blocks for CP3, and FT% for LBJ).
I mean my draft strat
from the 2nd position, I get 2 picks in the middle 20s
There are 3 other PGs there: Calderon, Kidd, Rondo
The other guys are PFs: Lee, Murphy, Brand, West
If I get Lebron, taking a PG and PF is perfect. If I get CP3, I’m looking at taking another PG (not the worst thing) or taking 2 PFs (none of whom I like that much)
In one scenario, I end up with a balanced roster after 3 picks and in the other I’m probably scrambling to fill needs for a few rounds. Life just seems simpler with Lebron
yeah
the good (or bad, not sure yet) thing is that it’s a 12.team league, so there’ll be plenty of players to pick from.
What i’m afraid of with picking 9th is getting Howard if he’s there. I think he’s pretty awesome, and in brp’s league i got him with my 14th, but I don’t want to have two similar teams. Choices, choices…
I just checked some rankings....
I have been too busy to do any fantasy drafting just yet, but I was shocked to see his average pick on yahoo was after #10. Pau Gasol, Danny Granger, and Kevin Durant are all ahead of him. That baffles me, especially Gasol. I consider Howard a top 5 or 6 pick personally.
20pts and14 rpg the last two years, 3bpg last year, damn near 60% from the field every year. On top of that, he is a rock, only missing 3 games in 5 seasons, hell, he will even grab you a steal just about every game. Ya, you kind of take it in the pants with the ft% and TO’s, but I can handle that considering everything else he brings to the table….
even a homer like me
can’t understand why they would put Gasol ahead of him. I guess for its roto value against Howard’s, not h2h surely.
second straight draft in which I get screwed by order. smh.

What's the latest?
This stuff is fascinating to me, even tho I’m not affected. The thought that the NBA/Blazers/Comcast (who, exactly?) is responsible for blowing off the Seattle market is jawdropping. On one hand, it looks like a tech glitch that should be fixable; on the other hand, it looks like a big conspiracy.
I have faith in you Cab — you’ll get to the bottom of it!
I plan to write the NBA, call the commish’s office, talk to Comcast Seattle, write emails to everyone in the Blazer organization.

It's available team by team and player by player, but aggregated by position is difficult.
On a sidenote, I found a graph that the best free throw shooters got better and better, while the averages stayed about the same. Interesting, though not relevant to that topic.

Interesting graph.
It looks like (just eyeballing) in about 80-100 years the top 20 shooters will be approaching 92.5%

Pssh, did you even read the graph?
From 1940 to 2000 it went from 75 percent to 95 percent. That’s a 20% increase in 60 years.
So in 90 years, they’ll be shooting 125 percent…

top 20 is not a good measure
they should use the 90th percentile or something similar.
Top 20 different things when you have 8 teams or 30 teams
You should also qualify it so that the players you are looking at
qualified for scoring titles so that you don’t have players who only shot 2 FTs messing up your stats.
I hated that in NBA Live 96.
I still haven't figured out how Cabbie argued signing Mills makes trading a forward (Travis, Martell presumably) more likely
I would have understood that when we signed Ime, but Mills really makes nothing more likely.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Yeah
I haven’t read much on it yet, I went to bed right after Mills and LA got signed. My thinking is Mills is a better asset than the two old guys. The only thing I think will come from the Mills signing is Mills in the D-League and a move for a worthless big guy by the trade deadline.
knowing Chris Wallace
we can probably get him for Webster’s old foot brace and a couple of those 50$ B-roy autographs (those are the “cash considerations” part of the deal)
I have him in both my fantasy leagues :)
And the Blazers passed up 3 times on him, which was a bit stupid. My theory is that after they got Rudy and Petteri, the US scouts wanted some of their guys drafted too. And/or that they feared Rudy and Marc could stay in Spain, and then they would have really screwed up that draft.

That's a good point
They had to know he was good, maybe they were avoiding the backlash the Grizz are going through with Rubio. (On a smaller scale of course)
I was pulling for the Blazers to draft Marc with one of those early second round picks in 2007. I was dumbfounded that he went to the L.kers after Sun Yue did. Huh? I thought Marc looked like more than a just decent prospect after 2006 worlds even with waiting a year. No idea how I know more about the NBA than GMs and scouts do. Unless there was something else going on there…
plus
I’d still love getting Reyes. If only we hadn’t overpaid on LMA. If I had the ear of some GM with extra money next year that fails to get something big, pay too much (relatively speaking) to lure Reyes into the NBA on a couple year contract.

my point was that in a team of 15 guys, a balanced roster has 6 guards… which we now have with Mills. The fact that we didn’t sign Collins could mean that we are trading from our surplus 4 SFs to attain a PF/C. That would even the roster.

eh
Martel is too much of a 2/3 for me to completely buy this reasoning. A Rip City from Brandon’s rookie year even has MWebb listed as a guard back then.
he does not have the lateral quicks to play the 2. I buy Nico at guard before Martell.

w0rd
Just cause Marty was drafted as a SG, doesn’t mean he is a SG. He’s a SF.
Just like just because we drafted Oden to be good, it doesn’t mean he isn’t a bust. No matter what the now defunct Rip City Magazine says (it’s defunct, right?).
I dunno. MWebb’s body is a natural swing body a.la TMac.
Marty has great off the ball skills and runs well through screens. Anyone who has ever watched a Nate offensive play knows that the SF never does anything but stand around waiting for a 3. Ergo. Marty is a swing.
I think it makes him a wing more than a swing
And he can’t be deemed a true SG because he doesn’t dribble like a SG and would struggle defensively against almost all of the good ones.
But his dribbling doesn’t hurt you as a SF, and he can guard most SFs.
If his dribbling got better, he could be a big SG…
I guess
He isn’t going to take anyone off of the dribble really or even catch the ball off of a screen and put in on the ground and get to the hole in great fashion.
I like tall guards and their potential when they can get the other pieces together.
Nico has a chance to play some 2.

Anyone got the Cliff Notes on Jscot's and Tyler's fanposts
I just can’t get into reading that many words about the 15th roster spot.
jscot’s: we got Mills cause the Blazers are a family and treats players as people. In the words of AK, “warm and fuzzy”.
lol
My guess, and I hate the term, but they chose Mills because he has a higher trade value.
My second guess, would be that Paul Allen doesn’t want some rookie or a rookie’s agent forcing his hand.
Kind of an interesting take on the Paul Allen and the agent
I’m going to have to think about this one a while. Mills has a fancy-pants powerful agent.
It seems to me
that if your going to keep someone on the roster who doesn’t play it might as well be someone with the possibility of a future. Collins and Ime were very unimpressive this preseason anyways.

Underwhelming
The Grizzlies’ Rudy Gay is another player who has played very well in his first three seasons. However, the Grizzlies are notoriously tight with money and the word is that their early offers to Gay have been "underwhelming." No surprise there.
Chad Ford going through the list of players from the 2006 class who have received a contract extension ahead of time (very few) or might still deserve to do so.

He does, he has that old drama in his voice like he did when he talked about Oden's lack of progress or the non-extension of Roy
I get that there might have been a better use of that last spot and that the coach was overruled, but it’s not like Allen just screwed up the whole franchise forever. He should have sounded like that when they wanted to sign Hedo.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
He should blame Ben
Ime Udoka looked a step and a half slow on defense. Jarron Collins was a rag doll.
I'm surprised that he criticized his favorite Webster as not looking too good in pre-season
On the other hand he fantasized about Ime being used against Artest & Co. The chance of that happening was tiny. Nate would use Nic, Roy, Travis, Martell first to do that, in about this order.

That might be, but he should know that e.g. his division rivals Mavs and Spurs don’t give a hot damn about pre-season.

For Houston to get in the Finals
They need to get bad again and draft some true A-list players.
Once he can get some of those (it’s so easy), he’s got the formula for role players down cold. But McGrady and Yao will never win, no one will trade him a A-lister, and they’ll always be too good to get a good draft pick.

"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
That's the real fear with Daryl Morey's GM'ing style, as the Houston Rockets may be stuck ...
being above average — unless he can swing a deals like the Boston Celtics did for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen recently — although that’s surely better than being an altogether garbage front office executive running a garbage franchise like Chris Wallace.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
I was thinking that he might be able to employ a early 2000s Pistons model to get to a ring. Hard to say if it will work for him, but the few no draft trades he has done have seemed to net him underutilized players ala the Pistons. Also, he has brought in troubled players and they have played well as the Pistons did with Wallace. Time will tell though, but I am definitely betting on him to succeed. It seems like he approaches every level of basketball seriously. Summer league, NBDL, preaseason, and he is putting time and resources into it. Impressive.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
What I find interesting...
is KP has (wrongly in my opinion) gotten a rep around the league for being a wee bit arrogant. Yet time and again, I read stuff quoting Morley about how thye are pretty much ahead of everyone else when it comes to using the “right” stats to make player decisions.

it is hard to say as no one is showing their cards
When the new TWolves guy came on board (blanking on his name) he said they were going to start keeping stats on players currently in the NBA, so I would say they are miles ahead of the TWolves, but it is less clear if they are really that far ahead of other progressive franchises.
Look at Norsk’s sig for a disturbing KP quote on player evaluation.
I guess the proof is in the pudding and they have made some surprising late 1st rounders that were head scratchers at the time that have worked well for their system.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I guess I don't see the KP quote as disturbing.
It is clear Norsk and KP have a differing opinion on Howard’s residual basketball value. With all due respect to Norsk (and I’m NOT being sarcastic here), I think that at least as far as the preseason goes, Howard has shown he still has some juice left in his body.

"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
With Juwan Howard, I bet Larry Miller made the call there over Kevin Pritchard.
If that’s the case, then it’d fully explain Pritchard’s tentative assessment on Howard.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Juwan Howard was one of the first athletes under the Jordan brand at Nike, and LM was the head back then.
KP stated he helped with negotiations.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
That's an interesting hypothesis.....
I didn’t know about that connection.
But I don’t know if Larry Miller has a that much pull on the hoops side of the business (ability to dictate a player signing). I thought his job was running the business side of the business, and that while technically Miller is the president, KP is plugged directly into Paul Allen.

Although Larry Miller runs the business operations side, I believe he's one of the ...
oligarchy of employees — which includes Kevin Pritchard and Nate McMillan amongst others — who possesses a modicum of input regarding on-court personnel decisions.
I may be wrong about that, though.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
hmmm, i wouldn't think so
I don’t really know for sure, but I don’t think he has any basketball background does he? I can’t imagine Nate or KP deferring to him.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
I think Morey and KP are both arrogant
The email sent by Larry Miller, while likely not KP’s fault didn’t help anyone’s reputation in the Blazer front office. I honestly think that both the embarrassing Blazer fan-created term beginning with “p” and ending with “slap” made KP’s reputation worse— it even made its way into the scathing Wojo article via a quote from an opposing GM.
I think Morey and co. are miles ahead of at least half the league, but there are other teams— the Blazers included— that employ some of the top stats people in the business.
regarding the e-mail,
don’t you think it’s a little funny that the e-mail was, in retrospect, seemingly justified and accurate? They got killed for it, and maybe rightfully so, but they knew what was going on, apparently.
by DrivetheLane on Oct 22, 2009 11:22 AM PDT up reply actions
They deserved to get killed for it
Memphis was almost certainly doing it just to sabotage the Blazers, but they were playing by the letter of the law, and the Blazers tried to bully them. I still think the email was embarrassing and stupid and deserved the reaction it got.
Yeah, I mean, Miles was clearly being signed to hurt us then
And is even clearer now that nobody wants the still very young and oh-so-healthy Miles.
We had a case that I guess wasn’t politically viable to pursue all the way… Memphis was screwing us over via a loophole that wasn’t there fairly.
Hmm?
Unless things are being appealed like I thought they were, the Miles stuff is done for now. The damage done.

To some extent, but it's not like he put in Lindsey Hunter over Rose all the time
We might argue that Bayless would have been an option against the Rockets when Brooks/Wafer was in, or more Rudy. But all in all Nate had the best players available in.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
I do agree with that
And I am sure VDN has his reasons for what he do, both involving worries over job security and being new to the job.
I think Nate has almost always played the “right” guys. Instances where he didn’t were to showcase Magloire (or enable him to earn a deal) and to help develop Frye later on.

i never win at that either.
i just don’t know how to play well enough. but that’s a game that is still too house dependent and I think the house might cheat sometimes. that’s why i stick to poker…not house dependant.

Yeah
I did exactly as the dealer and everyone told me to do and was losing. I said, “Screw this, I’m gonna play like I want.” I hit on a 17 and got a 3, the next guy yelled at me and said I took his 3, the guy after him was mad too, then the dealer got blackjack.

haha.
there seem to be a lot of rules to playing blackjack at a table. i don’t know them so i stay away.
one time i went with my uncle to la center and we ended up laying blackjack. we were doing really well and then they got a new dealer and we proceeded to lose everything. it was like a switch got flipped. he really knows how to play too and was helping me along. that’s about the time i decided the game might be rigged or something.

well, I’m awaiting a call to really confirm things from Dick Vardanega…
But right now I do know that I am blacked out of NBALP, can’t get comcast, but can stream the games from Blazers.com. Apparently it’s not really a 150 mile radius, persay… it’s the league giving the Blazers a master list of who they can sell the games to and who is off limits.
So I can stream KGW games for ridiculous prices and can’t get NBALP. But at least he was reasonable and I talked to someone.
Thanks to Dan for being a big help.

Ok, so there will probably be a deal for KGW games to be broadcast on a local channel up here….
But there is absolutely no way to know if I am blacked out. He said that I have to buy the product, check for blackout, and then cancel. The team, the LP people, no one knows the blackouts. The NBA keeps them in a vault and lets the customers play Russian Roulette.
There is also no appeal process when dealing with blackouts. Once you’re blacked out, the NBA will not change things… even if it’s impossible for you to get the games.

According to the LPB FAQs, they go by the zip code of the internet provider
I.e. the physical location where they have the switch that connects their network to the backbone. Funny thing is, that can be in a different state than where you are. For me it is.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Is it the ISP of the computer when you sign up?
Or the ISP of the computer when you try and watch the games?
We are talking about LPBB right?
League Pass' page is a little nebulous on that
It looks like you’re blocked from the local team of what zip code you’re currently logging in from. They don’t say if they also block your home zip code team at the same time. Unless you saw a doc on that (or have experience)?
I got blocked from LPBB signing up despite having a US address and credit card based on my current IP address(es).
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
What I'm curious about...
Say you sign up and live in Houston, and you are blocked from seeing Houston games online.
If you travel to NY, you’re blocked from seeing Knicks games. But are Rockets games now available? Or are both blocked?
Looks like you should get a mailing address outside of the blackout area
might I suggest South Dakota
http://www.mydakotaaddress.com/
so I could sign up using someone else’s address? i’d still be blacked out as my computer is in seattle, correct?

the problem is that 80% of Seattle does get comcast.

From Reader's Digest
A patient was very afraid before having a surgery. She put a number of post-it notes on her body. “Take your time.” “Left side.” “Don’t cut yourself.” “Don’t panic.” “Don’t forget to wash your hands.” When she woke up and returned to her room after the successful procedure, a nurse helped her back into her bed and found another note from the doctor. “Has somebody seen my watch?”
For years I had tested business software before finding my dream job: Quality management in computer games company. On my first day at work I listed different ideas in a calculation program when my boss entered. He looked on my screen and said in a serious tone: "I don’t want to catch you again with spreadsheets during work. I have hired you to test games! (Jscot quit the next day)
A man living in the retirement home where I had volunteered for some time celebrated his 98th birthday. We organized a nice celebration for him, and during the festivities he gestured to me and then whispered in my ear how happy he was to be in good health. “And you know what, I have absolutely no enemies in the whole world.” “That’s nice”, I confirmed with a smile. “Yeah, yeah, they are all long dead!”

Dave, Casey, Gavin podcast is out
http://trailblazerscentercourt.blogspot.com/2009/10/102209-trailblazerscom-podcast.html
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
ROFL!
Gavin: “Crazy to think we had three teams in the Northwest just a couple years back. Now we are it! Like Vancouver NBA fans, and Seattle NBA fans are gonna watch their team the Portland Trail Blazers tonight take on the Suns. We’re the Northwest’s team.”
Casey: “Well, probably not gonna watch it in Portland…other places are hopefully able to see it”
Gavin: “Oh yeah…”
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
I am annoyed when
Casey gets on his soap box about illegal streams and bootlegged highlights on youtube. I understand why the Blazers would not like it, but it is partially their fault, since they don’t have it widely available. It is possibly Casey’s fault for not not putting up enough game highlights on his blog. Why isn’t there more game video on his blog?
I get the paper, so I don't care!
It has improved, the NBA isn’t completely dumb. At the beginning of last year the NBA.com video player wasn’t embeddable, so naturally people like Ben tried to find and record highlights elsewhere. Now you can, and Ben is using it. I general I would agree that the NBA has to get after illegal streams to protect its IP, but it shouldn’t go after fan mixes of highlights. That just promotes their product.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
The NBA is making a mistake in trying to make all their partners happy. As a result Cablinasian is left out. They need to refocus on their customers.
Regarding highlights, Casey has expressed his dissatisfaction a few times. I keep thinking, if you don’t like it, then put it out yourself so fans won’t have to.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
This is a popular problem
Focusing on your partners to the detriment of your customers. Happens way too much in the entertainment industry now.
The NBA highlights are lame too
They are out of touch with what is important to Blazer fans. They should have Casey do the highlights for them.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
I'm very surprised they don't have team-specific highlights for every game
That’s just lazy. Heck, there are fans that would do all the work for you, if you let them.
What’s worse is that the NBA apparently put this on the back-burner. At least, they never brought it up again. Sigh.
That'd be cool
Talk about lazy. I think it was one of the Sacramento games earlier where Oden had 5 rebounds in the first few minutes or something like that. That was not shown in the highlights. Instead, during the last 12 seconds or so were two Kings players walking in slow motion. Gee thanks!
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Yep
I read an interesting article about the ticket pricing at the new Yankee Stadium. It has this section:
That’s not automatically a bad thing; a business should sell its product for as much as it can, as long as it’s not putting temporary profit over long-term growth. When a business makes that mistake, longtime pollster Rich Luker calls it harvesting. Starbucks is struggling, he says, because it harvested. Wal-Mart is not because it hasn’t.
“The American sports industry is in harvest mode,” Luker says. “The industry has lost its regard for human beings.”
A recent poll discovered an unsettling trend emerging for the first time. American families whose household income is $75,000 or less now have zero dollars of discretionary income. According to Luker, that means about 75 percent of the country can never responsibly afford to go to a live professional sporting event. Franchises want them to be fans, to buy the gear and pull for their teams and watch the telecasts the leagues are paid billions for. But they don’t need them to come to their stadiums. There are, right now, plenty of rich people who love games. The prices reflect that. The reason sporting events cost so much now, Luker’s research shows, is because they are designed to be affordable only to those making $150,000 or more a year.
Does the NBA really think there are people that honestly say, “man I can’t get the game through my internet feed, so I am going to buy a ticket and drive 288 miles round trip to see them.”
Even if there were, how many tickets would they buy? 10 or 20 at the very most.
Having it widely available online does not devalue the product. That line of thinking is out of date.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
my personal blackout is more to due with comcast being available in parts of this area.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
However, it shouldn’t have even gotten to this point. The NBA is at fault for not being able to distribute their product effectively.

Timmay I read the article you linked to
The NBA said it could take 6 years to finish the WATCH ANYTHING EVER project, and the article is from 2005.
2011 here we come!
To quote Han Solo...
…I have a bad feeling about this.
Especially considering this.
If would be a pleasant surprise for this to progress. Perhaps the NBA moved it in-house to finish. But for some reason, the NBA has trained me to presume they will kill projects that customers may enjoy.
I would not be surprised if 2011 becomes 2015 and on and on until the project is totally obsolete
But, it DID say 6 years, and since we’re still in the 6 year window, I can’t say we should expect it yet.
I am sure the “deadline” will be pushed back many times, and I am sure they are sure everyone has forgotten about this by now. I know I did.
I doubt they moved it in house
If I remember correctly, back when Stern was on a BS Report he mentioned that the NBA had outsourced a lot of their video/technology stuff to Turner Sports because they did such a good job with their broadcasts and the like.
If they are doing that, I doubt they moved since an awesome and ambitious project in-house.
Turner sports runs the chat for NBA LP support
Probably a sign the rest of it is through Turner too.
Hmmm. Still possible they moved it over to Turner instead of in-house.
I’m not gonna defend the nba, but I’m pretty sure a lot of this has to do with licensing their product and the revenue it generates… If you give everyone access to the content you run the risk of taking away from that stream and placing your content nearly in public domain….

Personally, I’m more of a new age digital copyright cat. I would rather they sought out better methods to distribute via the web with a sustainable revenue stream.

I think there is an obvious problem when (a) a consumer wants to buy a product and (b) when consumer has no way to buy product.
Not that you disagree. That is just my simplistic issue with the NBA.
The thing is that the whole comcast deal seems dinosaur age. As you said, it should all be available through the internet. that’s the way business is going.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
That's a very reasonable point too, EK.
Thing is, there’s middle ground…
Also, it wouldn’t move it into the public domain, it would just make it viewable.
I do think the NBA is having trouble coming up with ways to monetize their old footage.
Well, it won’t be in public domain per say, but you run the risk of it being on a lot of computers out there—availability to reproduce is a major concern, I’m sure. Also copyright law with other countries is predicated upon treaties between those nations, which doesn’t always translate well. For example, copyright law is pretty loose in Asia, which is a huge market for the NBA. Trying to control their product in that region, I would assume is crucial priority…

NBA TV should have 10 channels showing all the games
It should be available just like HBO, Showetime etc. They could stream it online as they wish. They would not lose control over it, and they’d be making it available to the world I tell you. The WORLD.

Doc Rivers highly quotable signature material again :)
"I hate player meetings," he said. "The right things are never said. I’ve always believed that either guys blow smoke up each other’s asses, or they go the completely opposite way and say (expletive) they can’t repair.
"Well, they had it and everyone got on the bus all pissed off at each other."
Woj on Rondo team meeting late last season. Sounds like they made progress, but it’s far from all is well in Celtics land.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
I like Glenn "Doc" Rivers' screw it mentality.
I can’t blame him, either. It’d’ve been just as detrimental for him to forcefully step in an prevent the players from yapping at each other by airing their grievances in public. It’s not up to Rivers to parent Rajon Rondo by stopping him from pissing off the team’s old guard, for it’s a live and learn situation. Though, this does paint a picture of Rondo’s time with the Boston Celtics maybe coming to a close sooner rather than later.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
BE is a strange place sometimes
There’s a thread in the JD today that I strongly, strongly disagree with. But yet I’m uncomfortable saying so in the thread, because I think everyone would attack me like it was a year ago, and I’d just said Nate was a bad coach.
Anyone else ever skip commenting because you just don’t want to deal with the BE backlash? Certain topics basically are only allowed to have one viewpoint, or a flame-fest for those who disagree. Certain obvious users can disregard this question. :)

well I'd look at it this way:
if I felt that strongly one way or another, I’d almost feel like I had to post and deal with whatever backlash might come along. If it was something I only felt so-so about then I’d skip it. but if you got your fire up, might as well jump in. Just gotta be prepared to defend yourself is all. That can lead to good discussion.
but your point about there being a generally accepted view on some topics and anything different is frowned upon is a sort of strange thing on Bedge, I agree.

yeah
It is not like I feel only one view point is allowed though, just that it will take a lot of time and energy to get a point across that in the end gives me little personal benefit.
I also steer clear of opinions that have a large emotional component to them. Nothing good can come from arguing against peoples emotional reactions.

The 2004 off-season would've been the interesting one, as that was when Steve Nash ...
was signed by Bryan Colangelo and Mike D’Antoni was preparing for his first full season as the coach. While the Nash of Phoenix was substantially more productive across the board than the Nash in Dallas — and that’s even accounting for efficiency and pace-adjusted/per-minute stats — Amar’e Stoudemire and Shawn Marion had already cemented themselves. Though, in the case of Stoudemire and Marion, they did improve their efficiency greatly upon the arrival of Nash. I doubt he’d’ve projected the improvements of Joe Johnson and Leandro Barbosa, though, but probably would’ve nailed Quentin Richardson’s impact.

anyone hear of the frankin amendment?
wherein employees of independant contractors working for the US government are now protected against old contracts excluding them from legal safety if they were raped… ?
Well not only did 30 republicans vote against this amendment (which ultimately passed) but now an old ass democrat from Hawaii (sorry tom) is going to strip (no pun intended) the amendment so that contractors have the power to continue to require women employees specifically to sign a contract stating they cant sue the company if they are raped by company officials.

I have yet to see a woman that lists gang rape among her voluntary sexual fantasies.
So unless Halliburton is suddenly in the porn business, "consensual" seems highly unlikely. And having such a clause in your contracts is just untenably amoral.

"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
Lol, a trade post that calls for swapping Travis for Gay. Not even Chris Wallace does that, even though his owner doesn't give him the money to sign long-term deals at the moment.

but now that the season is about to start, don’t you find yourself pining for that first mid-season trade?

It will be much less exciting than a move like that if it happens
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
I question with that trade is
does Gay do the things that people rag on Outlaw for not doing (i.e. rebounding, defense) or does he simply do what Outlaw does better?
More the latter. I think Nic could put up better numbers than Gay if he played 33 minutes and be a better defender.

Yup, 06 draft class
Only Bargs, LMA, and Roy locked up to big deals.
Wasn’t Rondo in that draft? Was he not offered a deal?
Rondo was in that draft and hasn't gotten an offer
probably because the Celtics are about a season away from decomposing. They may just want all their contracts to expire and start fresh. Rondo is good, but how much of his game benefits from playing alongside 3 future hall of famers.
it's up

There was talk years back about building a floating prison
by southern oregon on Oct 22, 2009 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions
Do you think you would be a leader in prison?
Say you were wrongly accused of a crime you did not commit.
The warden would try to bring me down
But the idominitable nature of the human spirit, and my own feelings of righteousness over being accused of a crime I didn’t commit, would help be overcome.
Unless I went to jail for smashing parking meters when drunk.
well you're in the wrong one right now
EvilK made a new one
but i need your legal help

hahaha - he didn't really claim anything regarding this "Pryz"....
but his rebuttal is essentially flawed. You can’t sue, but it’s a moral victory on your part :)
FFA, can I countersue Starvin' Marvin for trying to file a frivilous lawsuit against my friend, DrivetheLane?
Also, he wasted my time.
Kobe is my profile pic because of this beatdown I received.

I never filed anything
I got advice from the lovely FFA. That is all.

by Starvin' Marvin on Oct 22, 2009 5:13 PM PDT up reply actions
No, not that, cos' that ain't gonna happen
he’s gonna get used to taking 3 steps now, before bouncing, and the FIBA refs are gonna have to call it :)
I just irrationally dislike him. I’m sorry
I bet something that Spain beats USA, I just don’t know what. Offer me stuff and when I like an offer, I’ll take the bet.
